Honda has lost its way lately. Still great quality, but not a "fun" car in the bunch anymore. Only the Fit, believe it or not, is fun to drive. Handles like a Go Kart. CRZ, inspite of its looks, is the slowest of the fleet. But they are great grocery getters. Save miles from my Camaro.

I don't think it's a bumblebee. More like a knock off of the real thing. Bumblebee is not rally yellow. Also, that is not the right spoiler and the rear striping is wrong

I would never be caught dead in a Honda Fit, Nissan Cube/Leaf, Toyota Prius. They are all too feminine looking for me to ever have any self respect driving, but back on topic. The T3 Camaro (Look Alike) is ugly as sin, the Spoiler is an unnecessary add on that just serves too look ugly but some people think the Mustang is ugly so clearly looks are subjective or maybe some people are just ignorant....

If you'd like the real Bumblebee, you could always cough up several hundred thousand dollars to get a one-off movie car that started life as a gto chassis with a fiberglass shell bolted over top....or you could spend some tens of thousands of dollars to make an SS look just like TF3....

Until then, this is what Chevy offers to pay homage to the movie trilogy that helped put Camaro in the public eye. Nobody ever said it was "bumblebee". In fact, that's why they call it the "Transformers Edition"...

Does anyone know the meaning of the autobot inscriptions on the front bumper and the rear spolier ?

[Gerardoleal90]

I have this same car however in an 2SS model, I want to make it as close to the movie one as possible, any suggestions, I want the Hood ports, as well as the ports for the bumper, however the T3 ports that are sold online look nothing like the ones out of the movie, the Jay Leno camaro, is the one which in my opinion BEST resembes the car... Any suggestions...

I saw a 2012 transformers edition drive by me on my way to work. (I pass the brand new camaros driving from the Oshawa plant every day) It was cool to see that edition though.

[KKreme15]

It looks tacky. Only because it is so close to the original. I couldn't do it.

It's "Transformers" in Cybertronian.

[autobot504]

anyone know where to get some nice transformer accessories for 2012 Camaro??
(looking for fender emblems, floormats, horn, door sills, etc)

[dustinwe1]

Just bought one and this is the first car I have ever fallen in love with!!!

[LADYBMBLEBEE]

Only had it 4 months and I love my Transformer. Draws lots of attention from men, women and kids alike. Adding ground effects this week and T3 ports are sitting in the trunk waiting to be installed. Then gonna add CAI and Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust upgrade.

Is this guy serious? He sounds like he's advertising to 8 year olds.

I always thought the Transformers association was cool because it showed off the car, but I'm surprised that grown adults are buying into this Decepticon-crime-fighting image? Isn't this childish aspect taking away from the supposed mean image this car is supposed to have?

It's like those KITT copies back in the day, I don't recall owners imagining they were Michael Knight and start talking to their car.
