it will be officially shown at the 06 NAIAS in Detroit, probably released as a 09MY car

The "official" but "un-officially released" pictures were leaked and posted on several websites for a couple days, but have since been pulled per GM request. I'm not sure if you could still search and find them hiding somewhere? Regardless, there are no pictures to be seen like there are of the Challenger concept. There is also no OFFICIAL confirmation of Camaro, nor is there any word on when it will be built ... that is, "IF" it is built.

However, we have heard from some "people in the know" and all signs point to "yes" for the Camaro's return, and speculation is it'll be released in ~2008 as a 2009 model (as stated above).

How can you refer to them as "official" when they were pictures of one side of a pre-concept clay that had several marked-up changes on them?

Although the basic shape and design may be close, I fully expect to see a more refined car on display in Detroit.

GM will be late to the party again I believe. The "Camaro" should have been ready for production in 07. Now it may make it's appearance in 09, depending on the public's response to the concept car, not just enthusiasts, but the general public. If the "Camaro" gets a luke warm response I can't imagine GM investing millions in a car that may not sell to their expectations. But on the other hand GM knows it has to play in the same playground with Ford and Chrylser.

I say that because they were ACTUAL pictures from GM ... not just concept pictures ala Kris Horton's or anyone else's renderings. They were actual photos from GM (hence why GM freaked out about the whole thing).

So I said they're "official" ... I simply mean they're "real" concept photos. BUT, they're "un-official" 'cause GM didn't want them spread around, due in part because they're obviously far from a finished product, and GM wasn't ready to show them yet.

"A" concept does not neccessarily mean they were "the" concept.

Capn Pete

Why'd they react the way they did then? I think it was a shot too close to home.

NikiVee

Exactly.

jg95z28

It was close, but it wasn't exactly "it".

Capn Pete

I KNOW that! I never said "it" was "THE" "FINISHED" concept!

OK, are you satisfied now?

simi retro
2009

and crappy tail lights.

Death's.Stalker, where are your "quotes"?

That question's alot like someone showing up a minute after Elvis left the building and asking if any singers where going to show up.

1) 2009, 2) heritage styled, 3) do a google search: "2009 Camaro" (if it doesn't have "LS1 tech" watermark and "confidential" stamped on it, it's fake).

whatcha mean? we all seen the silver/grey concept car.. right?

looks kinda like the hood from a 68 will fit perfectly..?
