They also know somebody however will get hold of it, post it on the Internet and then it will blow up - creating a huge buzz in time for the actual reveal.

Similar to viral marketing - get everybody talking about it...
Yes, but negative viral marketing?

The license plate area and the euro tail lights are an indicator!!

It's only negative if everybody still hates the car after the live reveal though....and how much better will everybody feel about the refresh if it turns out that the lights have not been changed like that on the US version after all.

And the signs point to it being the euro car - the space for the plate being the main one, but also the fact the lights on the current euro model are not too diffferent to this car we have seen today - and the comment about 'being open to different lights on different models'.

Who knows though - maybe I'm just clutching at straws hoping for something that isn't there....all will be revealed in a few hours either way!!

I just don't understand the thoughts behind this part of new front clip.

Yeah I'm with you buddy. A new blue could be some great damage control too.

Once the "refreshed" 5th Gen. is released and when all is said and done, there will be a boat load threads of "pre-refresh" vs. "refresh" instead of V6 vs. V8.

I like it. Looks like the same exact car with an aftermarket bodykit. Most importantly, it doesn't make our cars look obsolete so current owners should not feel ostracized about the changes. Different is good.

Not quite sure how come the design team didn't see what the Camaro5 forum members see. They came up with the new design and everyone was happy. Here, only a few like it.

We're gonna need a separate sub-forum!
