Camaro prototype
Discussion
No more cut n' shut Commodores!
This is Ed Welburn, one of the main men behind the new Camaro, giving it a hug. Bless! His a true Camaro enthusiast as proven in this photo. The yellow one is his.
So, what can we tell from the photos? Well, I wouldn't order the camo paint job
However, the rest looks good from what you can see. The bigger mirrors are actually an improvement on the tiny concept ones. Those wheels still look good too, depite not being 22"!!

Here are a few known facts taken from www.camaro5.com
Production will begin October '08 in Oshawa, Ontario
It will be officially a 2010 model, but the Coupe will be available for purchase in 1st quarter '09
Coupe: L x W x H = 186.2 x 79.1 x 53.47 (inches)
Coupe: Wheelbase = 112.47 inches
It will be available first as a coupe, A convertible version will follow 6 months later
Key Start (no push-button - possibly an option)
"Choice of either a small block V8 or V6 engine"
There will be a choice of 6 speed manual or automatic
The engine options will not include LS7 or LS2
"The new Camaro Coupe will have a B-pillar. BUT - it isn't noticeable from the outside"
Rear quarter windows will be stationary (they will not roll down).
The Camaro will feature Strut-type front suspension with double ball joint lower control arms
The Camaro will feature a Multi-Link Independent Rear suspension (4 link)
The Camaro will NOT be offered (standard) with the 21"/22" Wheels seen on the concept
The side mirrors will be slightly larger than those seen on the concept
The rear-view mirror will be attached to the windshield, not the roof as seen on the concept
There will be 4 seats
Rear wheel drive
The door handles will be redesigned to be "more user-friendly"
The inverted Mohawk as seen on the concept will remain on the roof of the car
First sight of the production Camaro will make you either (a)wet your pants, (b)bleed from various bodily orifices, or (c)cry like a little girl.
Here's the first official picture from GM. They've stated the camo will now be removed from the test cars.
