Frontal shot of new Camaro......
I'll probably get slapped the next time I walk into a Camaro meeting for posting this -- but I don't want people to be disappointed --
No hideaway headlamps -- for many reasons.
#1. Weight -- (and we all know how many people on this site feel about weight!)
#2. Reliability and fit/finish. (did you ever see a headlamp door remain in alignment on the 1st gens???)
#3. Export purposes..........
.......plus a host of other reasons.
Notice I'm not saying that grilles may not be different --
(dang -- there goes that 'winkie' thing again!)

Thank you sir for the information. I just didn't want to go pick up my car and see an option I didn't know about on the one beside it, or hold off because something was rumored to be coming. Can't wait.
(BTW Scott, Yes I've seen many mis-aligned, or one open one not, hideaways. My 68 was restored in 1990 and was my daily driver for 11 years, the vacuum hideaways never missed a beat. As I'm sure you know, it all depends on how much you love, TLC, your car)
I'm sure the GMMG, Callaway and SLP people are already dreamin' up some mod's.
I don't think just because people are making comments on what they would prefer doesn't mean we don't all love how it looks now. In fact, out of all the car releases I can remember, this one has the fewest things people want to change.
The headlights look like they are from autozone because they are from autozone. they are not production headlights. In preproduction form, a lot of carmakers will just put general lighting that they have lying around or can get for a cheap price so they can drive the car at night.
These are not production ready....how many times does it have to be said in 18 pages.

Okay, you've answered that question. But my ultimate (and only) question I've ever asked has yet to be (although, I suppose I could wait to see the finished product if you don't want to answer yet
)......Will the parkinglamp halos be retained from the concept?
And, will HIDs be an option? (Allright, that's two questions, but still alot less than most people have)
Thank you for the chop post. It's just what I imagined and more.
Thanks for the original picture of the full frontal view.
Thanks again FBF for the information.
I was just trying to satisfy a curiosity rather than create a controversy or seem I wasn't happy with what we have coming.

the headlights are not duel on the preproduction is what people are trying to tell you. The could have tapped spot lights to the hood to have the same effect. Production headlights as well as other production parts are missing...
