MTV movie awards are really showcasing GM
It looks like GM is treating it like the superbowl. They're the main sponsor with lots of new commercials and they're even advertising the new camaro. Check it out if you get a chance. It also looks like the new Transformers movie is going to be a big GM commercial as well.

Transformers is going to be huge for the Camaro. 
I saw the trailer this weekend in the theater and every blip on the screen showed an old camaro or the new one.
THAT is the kind of advertising that can't be done on TV or radio.
Kind of like SMokey and the Bandit did for the TA or Bullitt did for the Mustang.
Kudos to GM for putting this together.

The drawback to all this is that you can't go BUY a Camaro yet.
It's almost like the Oprah G6 promo... people ran out to buy them, and found out you can't even get them.
I love the idea... but the timing is terrible.

Timing is what it is.... when a movie producer as big as there ever was calls and asks, you wouldn't say "no, not interested, doesnt fit our timing"
Transformers 2 should be out in time for 5th gen production launch anyway.

thing is, Michael Bay picked the Camaro Concept for the movie even before the car was shown at the 2006 NAIAS... so they had no idea they were going to build it, or when they were going to build it...
i know what you're saying though..

Does your father give you an allowance for you to buy your toys with?
J/K with you - I know exactly wat you are saying!
I have a 9 y/o in the house... I get more Hannah Montana and "Zack and Cody" junk than Decepticons, but eventually it all comes around!

Just turned 29 Friday.
I remember the original Transformers cartoon. A friend and I were talking about it this past weekend and he said he was so happy when Optimus Prime (the leader of the good-guy Autobots) was killed. That's what made me think about it.

Grimlocks already a Mustang:

If and when there is a 2nd movie. I think there will be mor product placement. GM has the rights right now but maybe another company?
But who knows GM has enough different cars to make a whole Autobot army.
