It just seemed funny to me that after all the hubbub, suddenly it was okay to have a "clean" image (Where did they get that one!) of that car dangling on the front page of the best F-body website all day long, before it disappeared again.
Hmmmmmmmm.........

What if we had that "clean" image for a LONG time, and we just knew not to "dangle" it out there?

I think that whether or not the leak was intentional , it certainly served a purpose in exciting the domestic sports car fans here, and on other sites, and is getting GM plenty of free feedback on the proposed design.
Perhaps earlier than anticipated through the NAIAS , but I really don't see how much of an effect that earliness would have negatively.
In my eyes, if anything it would tend to make someone on the fence of buying a Mustang potentially hold off for what they really want, which is a 2 + 2 sports car built by Chevrolet , division of GM
, or of course, it's sister ship, the Firebird.So, in the terms of the one poster, "I don't get it" .
That's despite the fact that I have owned F's now since '84 .

It's hard to argue damages if you've changed your mind about showing the pictures.
I'd guess GM's legal team made that call.

Does anyone know if the Concept Camaro from the NAIAS show will make its way to other shows around the country? Namely Philadelphia or New York?
