PROTOTYPE 2010 Camaro photo!!!!!!! - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Nothing has changed. The 2010 model year for the Camaro will just have an extremely long run, being built in 2008, for sale in early 2009.

i thought at first it looked like papers, of some kind....but now it almost looks like a bottle.

It does look like some sort of bottle on the windshield. Almost like bottle of sunscreen. Is it real hot and sunny down there this time of year?

or maybe its Octane boost

STUNNING!! I'm not suprised about the rear view mirror. I do like the fact that they enlarged the side mirrors and but kept it true to the concept. I think the wheels are 19 and should be an option.

Awesome! Can't wait to see/hear the news for November. Hopefully more pics will be leaked!!

I could be totally wrong, but it looks to me like the thing on the windshield is the key ring (key, fob, and a tag). On all the car lots I worked on, we used to put the keys under the wiper like that when we were moving the lot around. And when I went to the Lexus Ride-and-Drive (training), they almost always put the keys under the wiper....easy to find and can't be locked in the car from there.

(as TAG mentioned earlier), I am wondering why you can't see the b-pillar on the passenger side.

I guess the door windows are huge and you just can't see the passenger b-pillar at this angle in the photo.

I think it would be cool if GM is lying and there actually will not be a b-pillar, in an effort to keep others from copying the Camaro.

It looks as if he is hiding the b-pillar because there really isn't one there and it's a surprise to be mentioned later.

Looks like the concept steering wheel a little too.

I'm sure GM took care of details like that in the image before they released it to the dogs

*DGthe3* · 10-17-2007, 12:32 PM

What I would have done if I were GM would be show a B pillar, show that the cowl isn't there anymore, show that there isn't a nifty gascap, etc, basically make it boring to enrage us and keep us arguing for some time to come. I'm sure that there are people at GM that can use photoshop as well as anyone. THEN when the real deal hits us we will fall in love again.

Pencil.Fight · 10-17-2007, 12:35 PM

That's true... There's nothing to say that they didn't photoshop this image before releasing it... There was a delay of a few days there, and it's not like they had to develop any film or anything.

I seriously doubt that GM would straight out lie to us and say "There will be a B-Pillar" if they weren't actually planning on putting one on. If anything, they would have hinted towards it and left us all to jump to our own conclusions, which we certainly would.

Agreed...key fob

At first, I thought (since there was no b-pillar) that it could have been an old picture. Then chalked it up to it being a large window and us just not being able to see the pillar. It would be nice if GM was the only one to not have a b-pillar. But, the way I see it, Ford put the pillar in the Mustang, Dodge, put it in the Challenger, and basically, it's going to happen on the Camaro. There's no reason for GM to hide that fact anymore. The competition kind of gave in (if you will) by putting in the pillar. I understand. I was upset at first. But, I'm over it. I "HAVE FAITH!!!"

And yeah...that would make my day if it was really not there and that was the plan on building it. That would really get me stoked!

That's another thing I was really hoping they'd keep. I loved that steering wheel.

Oh, and I don't think they PD's that photo. I bet it's just a regular old photo from a cell phone or something.

Don't underestimate them. Ed is standing there for a reason, if they covered one B Pillar, they would blur/black out the other.

I have no doubt that is a well designed teaser pic to keep the chatter going
