Interesting.

The different grille and steel wheels makes me think that it could be a 2500 Avalanche tester..... the 2500 Av has gone away for the new model, but perhaps that is only because the HD chassis was not ready for launch yet.

 

Why would three cars from Michigan be doing cold weather testing in Nevada in March?

 

Well, say what you will about his story, but the details are similar to what I saw out there a few years ago. I saw a DCX convoy, test vehicle had stuff taped all over it, but you could tell it was some sort of minivan looking SUV. Had a big boxy body, but kind of a shriveled up nose....turned out to be the new Durango...but much closer to production than where the Camaro appears to be.

The details sound accurate enough for a protoype sighting, guess we'll just have to wait a few years for Scotts book.

 

The first mules will be in Austrailia since thats where RWD developement is beign done. My guess is the first chasis will have an existing body put on it. Like the C5 test mule, "Cormaro", where GM used a Camaro body to do initial testing of the C5 chasis.

 

I didn't mean to suggest it wasn't real... just that they weren't doing cold weather testing.

I'll bet it was real.

 

I wonder if you saw an '08 CTS?

 

Cool story, Dave, thanks for sharing. I hope you DID see what you think you saw. That would be great!

 

Or next gen BLS or BLC. The next gen of these have a chance of coming to the states.

 

Yeah...right...I'm sure he's making this all up.

 

I never implied he was making this up jackass, I implied that MAYBE it might of been something else.... and NOT the CAMARO.

 

You called BS idiot.

 

Very Interesting!! Hmmmm.

Did exhaust look like the exhaust was in the same position as the Concept?? or was it a centerline?

 

V8 Slayer the Camaro is a lot farther along than you think

 

You know it isn't uncommon for things like this to occur. I can remember back when a friend of mine caught Ford doing some testing a of a very specialized new Mustang. This was about 8 months before even the regular production 2005 GT's had hit the streets and they already had a Mustang with a huge cowl hood, massive rear tires, and a IRS that was in the testing phases. The guy who took the photos found the cars exiting a test facility owned by Harley Davidson and their latest business partner...Ford. He snapped a couple pics of the car. Later on a few of his friends saw the car out and caught it at a light, the car they were in was a well modified 2003 Cobra and their account was that they got their *** handed to them by a car running a very loud squeeling blower.

The car was and is the New GT-500 which is just now being offered for sale in 2006 as an 07 model and these sitings occured in 2004.


Sorry for the long story but it may be unlikely that they are testing it already but not impossible. I would say there is a good chance that you saw a test mule for the car but we will never know until we see some pics surface. Also how many spy photo guys do you see hanging out in the middle of no where Nevada...exactly.

 

... and I'm guessing they're out there already! I seem to recall that the first of the new generation Holdens on the VE chassis will go into production this summer.

Best regardSS,
