EDIT: if you "quote" me, you can see the links to the original, higher-res pics.

I love how it looks with "real" wheels. Something about the headlights that I like as well.

Or, you can just make links to the images without the [img] tag.

yeah.. it looks MUCH better with the Concept wheels on. I got to see it with the "hub" caps... funny how a set of wheels change the whole car. :)

Much nicer w/ real wheels. I got to see the hub caps in San Diego, this is MUCH better :D.

I'm hoping Bumblebee shows up in DC next weekend with a set of real wheels on him. Looks great!

:D guess I wasnt thinking outside the "tag" box lol. Thanks.

im digging those headlights!, i never noticed theyt were different than the concepts, those look much better i think

i hope they have all three at the chicago auto show!

Wheels and ride height can make a good looking car look great!

Personally I love the big wheels and tires. I'll be looking to upgrade the wheels/tires and lower the car ASAP after purchase.

Yep...something about those headlights I really like a lot...can't put my finger on it just yet.

Could we possibly be looking at production headlights????

X2, I hope at the very least Bumblebee makes it.

As for the headlights,the only thing that I see that's different is that the turn signals are gone.


...cool pics:bow:

Have to agree with most...I like the way the headlights look, and they seem to look more production-ish than the concept's.
Possible hint for final headlight design???:shurg:

...or maybe im just stirring the pot :D

I like it MUCH better without the turnsignals/parkinglights in the grille. They have the convertible so you can turn them off. :) Thats how I hope it makes it to production.

and Bumble bee's appear solid

Would that be a projector I see in the headlight? Maybe HID? In the movie it looked like a plain halogen bulb and no projector housing. The other concepts have been LED's I think. Playing around in photoshop they are different and unlike all the rest from what I can tell.

Silver Concept from DC last year

Surprise, surprise!

You are looking at Bumblebee #3!

This Bumblebee was the original Silver "Foam" model that was sent to Australia for the Engineering team to use. It traveled to several international shows -- then was shipped to China for a show there -- where someone really did a poor job painting him!

We brought him back to GM Design -- and had him stripped and repainted in the true Bumblebee Color (which, by the way is called "Sunrise" and is manufactured by Valspar......)

That's why his paint job is perfect -- and why he has a set of aluminum wheels........

Posting this here so FBF see it... Any chance that at the upcoming Philly Auto I could get a chance to sit in the Convertible? Will it help if I bring my 2010 Camaro deposit with? ;)

Not really sure if these requests go unanswered, but I figure... Its worth a shot right?!?!

Got to say, the NAIAS was kind of a let down with no Camaro this year, but I guess we gotta let the Vette have a day in the spotlight!

I thought this was a re-painted concept but then figured it wasn't possible.

Why send a push car to the NAIS when there has been a drivable car for over two years?

Surprise, surprise!

Those foam-carving guys are AMAZING.

KUDOS!!!!! (X1Billion) for a "PERFECT" paint-job!!!

Thanks very much (again) for your efforts.

We D O Appreciate you and all on the "C-Design" Team!!!!:bow:

EDIT: I LOVE those stripes!!!!

Good eye! I thought I was good at picking out details....:p

Any chance of the the convertible being in DC next week, or are we just getting one of the Bumblebees? I would prefer both, but I'll take what I can get. :)

ah.. so it is a different bumblebee all together.. cool. :)

bumblebees headlights are like one solid lens, which is probaly going to be closer to production than the little projector ones the concept has, the lens looks way better as one solid piece with a shiny surface... me likey alot!

Cant wait till its in my driveway

The convertible is advertized to be at the Montreal auto show Jan 18-27.... I can't wait !!!:thumb:

Bumble Bee is scheduled for D.C. next week!!! I'll be there!!

I LOVE the paint scheme on this car.


I saw the Concept at D.C. last year and was blown away. It had a huge crowd of people around it. So much better in person. I can't wait for a repeat this year.


Scott, tell the folks at GM to keep working hard! I'm rooting for them and look forward to the BEST Camaro yet!

those are really good pics.

headlights?

There is a schedule that is updated with the latest show info and what cars will be there http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/showthread.php?t=497784

Personally I love the big wheels and tires. I'll be looking to upgrade the wheels/tires and lower the car ASAP after purchase.

Hmmm.... wonder what, that'll bork when it comes to suspension geometry and unsprung weight?

I know with my GT to fix things, you need an adj panhard rod, UCA, LCA brackets, camber bolts (or plates), and relocating ball joints to truly counter act the nasty stuff lowering the car does. Unsprung weight is another matter entirely.

to answer a few questions --

I'd love to let you sit in the convertible -- but then there'd be 3 million people right behind you.....sorry!

The 'pusher' was at NAIAS because all of the other cars are at shows elsewhere....we DID have #1 Bumblebee at the GM Style event - but the fiberglass was in the show.........

Scott, whats the possibility of the #1 bumblebee being at the Gathering this year?

Am I going blind? :D

I do not see anything at all mentioned for the NY Auto show in March 2008. Scott......any help?

I have not seen any of the concepts in person and I am really hoping to see Bumblebee!!!!

I want to get a good feel for the car in person.....

With 3 Bumblebees out there now they better have one of them at the annual Transformers convention(BotCon) in Cincinnati this year at the end of April. I was very disappointed last year that they didn't have a bumblebee at the convention last June. Although, with the movie coming out a week after the convention last year I understand why he wasn't there.

Scott, any idea if there are plans to have one of the Bumblebees at the Hasrbo Transformers convention this year at the end of April?
