Cool Perhaps a little early? 2007 NAIAS speculation!

Just over ~3 months to go, so what do you think we'll be seeing there for the Camaro?

In light of recent rumours (un-confirmed as of yet) that Camaro production is "moving along well", and that production could begin nearly a year EARLIER than officially announced, could we expect to see a (pre-) production version in January at the NAIAS?? If the car is REALLY moving along that quickly, and GM might have it in production by the end of next year, I can't see them keeping it under wraps too much longer?

What do you guys think??

I'm guessing we'll see a production, or very close to production, 5th Gen.!

Maybe a convertible as well???

Maybe some different models??? Perhaps a Z/28 and maybe an SS model? To start gaining interest in specific camaro models? A vert would be cool too...

It would be cool to see a convertible version of the Camaro at the show, however I'd like to see something more REAL / OFFICIAL (regardless of roof / no roof) in terms of both appearance and POWERTRAIN . I'm sure everybody would at this point?

I missed any rumors about production being a year ahead of schedule. Where did you see it posted and who was spreading those rumors???

Check it ...

At this point, who knows? Even a couple of our resident "people in the know" seem a little stumped on this one . There hasn't been anything else said to confirm nor dispute this since .

Check out this weeks podcast... The guys called Les Jackson who claims he didn't say those things and hasn't seen production version pictures. Looks like it was just wishfull thinking / rumor mill.

My bet is Chevrolet will be the GM highlight this year. I predict we'll see a preproduction Camaro, the new production ready Malibu and an Impala concept.

Haven't had a listen to the podcast yet ... a lot of my "surfing" is while at work (shhhh!) and I clicked the link to the podcast but it was a no go. Haven't had time while I'm at home either .

At this point, I wouldn't take something "said" as official or non-official, know what I mean? I'm sure they'd rather not have a repeat of last year's ~November (think that's when it was? ) "leak" ..... I'm sure lips are going to be buttoned as tight as possible, although it's hard 'cause even one wrong "whisper" and then "WORD" gets out on the street!?

I wouldn't rule out the black Suburban theory, but I'm not holding my breath either. I think if we started holding our breath way back, we'd almost be dead by now!!

Do you think it would kill current Impala sales if GM tipped their hand on the 2009 model? Seems like the same thing will happen once people get a look at the new Malibu too - it is light years ahead of the current Malibu and looks to bite into Camry territory.
