WHat do you think?
I honestly think GM leaks thier own Photo's as a Publicity stunt. I haven't exactly ever seen a "spy shot" from GM's latest creations... why are thier photo's that are leaked always professional magazine worthy shots.... not ones that look like a guy was hiding in the bushes and snuck out his camera... like the ones that emerge from other manufacturers.
1. remember the C6 Z06 leak... it had pictures for the brochure... with it proped up next to the C6R
Now you have the infamous Silver Camaro with the Magazine worthy Covershots.No Leather... no tape... jsut out in the open... and they always seem to appear Months or weeks before an unvailing... coincidence? Who knows.

I was refering to how revieled and out in the open the car was, like there were no attempts to hide it's design... even when Ford had it's non Finctional GT model they kept it covered at ALL times especially IN THE OPEN.

This is at their design studio... notice the turntable it's sitting on. This is where they can see the car out in naural light in order to gain a better perspective on things.
I really don't think they wanted these out... I trust what Scott says and he came off a little pissed about it all so yeah, these were not supposed to be leaked.

Also, why would GM leak a photo of a car with black tape/cover sheets all over it? Why would they have those "spy" photos anyway? Why would they pretend someone caught a shot of the prototype anyway? If they have pictures laying around, they would most likely be high quality. If you're sitting around discussing/planning/coniving based on pictures, wouldn't you have the best pictures to work from.
Now just suppose some off the wall employee grabs a photo and photo copies it before someone notices it's gone. He/she wouldn't grab some "spy photo".
Let's face it, what ever it is, will based on the current GTO chassis. Being that the GTO was out at the same time the Chevelle was I feel it more likely to be called a Chevelle. BUT and this is a BIG BUT, is it even likely to see production with the down turn in 2 door RWD cars and the latest problems with GM?
Anyone know how stellar the GTO sales have been the last 2 years?
I'm asking.

And that it looks just like a 1st gen Camaro and nothing else.
