I'm not the only one complaining. In fact I'm not the only one who described the picture as horrible. Seems as though there are people at GM that share my view-points:

.....because some BOZO (I'm being kind here......) took it upon himself/herself to take a horribly positioned picture and put it out there for all to see.

Now, back to what you said:

What are you talking about? Go back and re-read my original post. I'll give you a minute...

...OK, are you done re-reading? Did you see the part where I'm not talking about the cars caught on the street? I'm talking about the one in a garage of sorts with most of the camo removed.

Really? Read the quote from Fbodfather I posted above, since I'm quite certain you won't take my opinions seriously. And read this one too:

That would make my post the 2nd time in history you have ever ever heard someone complain about bad quality photos and bad publicity such as this.

I'm well aware this was not a publicity car. Perhaps I neglected to make myself clear originally.

I actually just finished the "most 'fly off the handle' reply to a misinterpreted post" list and this one is on top! Congratulations...

ok guys i have lurked here for a long time..i feel i must respond to this horrible leaked photo...first off you guys are damn lucky to have a guy like scott who frequents here often and keeps you camaro enthusiast informed..of course the mustang guys have the shelby president who post often as well...so consider yourself fortunate..i never seen any mopar insider pass along pertinent information on the new challenger...here was my first reaction to the photo "it looks like a baby dodge avenger" i will withhold judgement until some hi res photos are released and you can bet scott or any other member of the camaro team is fuming mad....the photo is horrible and is obviously from a cell phone...kinda like all those confirmed ufo and big foot pictures we see floating around the internet...i am as anxious as anybody concerning the new camaro and i am not a GM guy..but lets just wait until hi res photos appear...
