I'm not "up" on my cars anymore, I could be wrong. I received this picture in an email from Chevrolet. It might be the Cadillac CTS or something but I'm not sure.

Re: Is this a clay model of the next Camaro????

From the pics on the wall it does make me wonder if it is the next Camaro too.. Especially the pic in the top middle sure does look like a front end of a 1st Gen R/S Camaro.

Is there anyway to increase the size of the pic without distorting the pixels?

Very very seriously doubt it.

It's a 2 seater.

Concept car?

I bet they make a lot of clay cars that never get turned into fullsize

My thoughts exactly. Not to mention the front end looks a little short for a V8.

It has Cadillac lines with XLR looks to it. One of the drawings in the back also show Cadillac's tall, narrow taillights. Definitely not a Camaro.

As secretive as GM is about the new Camaro, I doubt they are mailing pictures out to people.

Re: Is this a clay model of the next Camaro????

what about the 7 spoke wheels. there were some optioned on the c6.
also, look at the odd a-pillar, didn't someone mention that they were going to try and work on it to give you a better view?

also i found this site that mentions the camaro, but seems untrue.

and can anyone see the high resolution version of this

maybe there is a pic of the camaro in the background.

7 spoke wheels are usually Caddy wheels.

They could be doing what Ford did with the Mustang? Probably not, but eh...

could be a Kappa car? Anyone know how old that picture is?

I was thinking Kappa as well.

Did anyone else notice that it was only 1/2 a car?

Well, if it looks like that, I am very intersted. I think its just a "concept" design. That rake is just a little too much, and the body lines doesnt look "production" to me.
