Malibu is the new global face for Chevrolet. This was from the GM RWD design studio.

Nah Monte is dead.

Like others have said, I'd guess it was some kind of conceptual drawing that never made it past the bulletin board.

You keep saying GM RWD design studio. Doesn't GM organize its studios by brands still, like they did in ACAR? So wouldn't the Camaro concept have been in say Chevy II, which did the F4, C5, and likely the C6?

My guesses are an unknown internal study or it could be a Volt influencer or NG Cobalt update.

The caption:
A full-scale production clay model of the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro starts to take shape at GM's Warren, Michigan, Design Center, Rear Wheel Drive Performance Studio, behind GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner (center), and GM Vice-Chairmen Bob Lutz (left) and Fritz Henderson (right).

I am sure others here realize that this would not be the first time GM has released an image that shows the way of a future production model.

They did it with the Cobalt some two years before it saw the light of day and was spotted by iiiTEDiii.

Where/when did that come from?

Could that have been the original Camaro that was canned by wagoner a few years back?

Them not be the new Camaro. It is the big clay and the red 'clown car' seen in the fullsize pic not the tiny little crop. Most likely it is nothing, but nobody seems to know for sure.

Ninja Edit to add an interesting quote.

Even though this is the "rwd design studio," it looks like a refreshed Cobalt coupe to me. With the amount of Malibu and Volt themes present in that pic, that would jive with rumors of Cobalt's next facelift.

Yeah... who's to say that they can't have pictures of FWD cars on the walls of the RWD design studio? Seems perfectly appropriate to me.
