I went to an Camaro show today and to my surprise both the Bumblebee Camaro and Scott Settlemire were there, unfortunately I only got to speak to Scott very breifly. But my GF said she overheard him talking to someone else saying it's coming out in February. I think that can't be, it's a little too soon, maybe he meant advertising in February? Anyone know if there is anything significant happening then?

 

February 2009.

 

ahhhh... sorry, been out of the loop for a bit.

 

Just spoke with my GF, she says she's sure he said February 2008.

 

Nope -- 2009! (I WISH it were 2008!)

 

I was thiking you told someone febuary 2008 something else would be happening, she must have misheard you. Thanks Scott, and good to meet you.

 

Bet you guys are annoyed about the upcoming writers guild strike, which will probably push Transformers 2 back an extra year. Now the second movie won't debut at the same time as the car...which also happens to be the star!

 

Oh, I don't know. It'll probably be nice to have your car featured in a major motion picture a year and a half after it's been in showrooms. Good time for a PR blitz. Even if the movie did come out in the summer of '09 the Camaro would have been on the streets for a while already.

 

So will it be a 2009 or a 2010 model year? There is no chance for a few to make it out in the last month or two of 2008? I thought that was the plan.

 

I believe it's going to release later than the main lineup of '09s, and Feb 09 has been pretty much set now for a while. There's been a few posts on it if you want to read up

 

Man, I wish it were 2009 already. What you can expect in February of 2008 is the display of the production version of the Dodge Challenger. Heard its going to unveiled in Chicago.

 

Just don't let him near your children!

 

A few might make it out the last month or 2 of 2008, but that's pre-production models for testing & training before being handed to the press for what's likely to be their January-February 2009 editions which will correspond with the Camaro showing up in showrooms.

They might make some as early as October, but you won't be seing them before Christmas unless plans change and plant rennovations go quicker than expected.
