Any insiders care to elaborate any on whether or not this could be valid?

It would seem it'd be about the right time for testing, though I highly doubt they'd be driving one around at 8:30am in the morning on a very popular route, and the poster's post count is only 3, buuuuuuuut y'know sometimes the gods don't pay attention to what someone's post count is when they allow someone to catch a peek at the right car at the right time on the roads.

Re: 5th Gen Mule Sighted in Michigan?

Why on earth would GM build a mule that was painted white with orange stripes?





If you believe this guy, I have bridge in Brooklyn for sale... cheap!

Hopefully the sighting is indeed what everyone has been waiting for.

Re: 5th Gen Mule Sighted in Michigan?

So what the guy claims to have seen was basically a 4th gen body with a fif gen nose and tail, with cammo on the nose and tail?

Could have been. I could see them using a mostly 4th gen with fif gen underbody components and using the nose to monitor cooling and such. Sounds pretty interesting.

If any of us end up with pics, I'd hope we wouldn't publish them. I would like their to be a very big suprise to everybody, that way we can get a bigger reaction, and get a Camaro for sure.

Bingo. Had he left this out, I might've believed it.

Add another to the list of people who question the orange stripe thing...

Still, he had to see something ... unless it's made up, but I don't see what the point would be of that, other than to stir the pot I suppose.

See it is a mule. GM didn't just throw away old cars that it wasn't using any more. It could have been a 97SS pre-production body that they had laying around and decided to throw it on to whatever will underpin the next Camaro. It doesn't prove or disprove anything.
