A couple of things to keep in mind:
>it is not a 'Bumblebee Edition" -- it is a 'Transformers Edition" -- there's a difference.
>"Sunrise Shimrin" paint -- for materials alone (...and I know this because we've painted a couple of them...) is a couple of thousand dollars.......plus it's a multi-step process that cannot be done at Oshawa -- or any other normal assembly plant.
>This Edition will probably not appeal to a Camaro Enthusiast -- it is meant to appeal to a different buyer that may have never thought about Camaro....and that's a good thing because we appeal to a wider audience and sell a few more cars....
My CTF Camaro has had the package added (....a few weeks ago...) and I can tell you this: it's gotten an incredible amount of attention -- to the point where I've let people sit behind the wheel for pictures or have entire families stand next to it for a picture........
To each his/her own.........

It might as well be, otherwise why limit the color to only yellow? It'd be the same with any of the other GM cars used. Sure, they're transformers editions, but people are going to refer to them by the specific names if they're limited to the colors, or similar colors of the characters. Even the beginning of the press release states that people were asking for a Bumblebee Camaro...
