Riding on architecture shared with the nimble Cadillac ATS, the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is quicker and more agile than before. It now offers genuine sports car levels of performance while still retaining its genuine blue-collar appeal. Here's everything you need to know about leasing one.

Selling Price

While the Camaro SS is quite something (0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds), we'd happily spec ours in LT trim with the mid-level engine option—a 3.6-liter 335-hp V6—and the six-speed manual. It sounds angry like this:

A 2016 Chevrolet Camaro 1LT with the V6 has an MSRP of $28,190. According to a third-party car shopping website, the average selling price of that model is $27,686 before incentives (Southern California zip code). The lowest selling price currently offered by a dealer on said car shopping site is $26,985 before incentives.
