I hope you're right and they have something...

And it starts with "hey guys! Yeah, that wasn't the real 6th gen yesterday. We just wanted to generate more buzz with some crappy renders we did a few months back. Here " *camo cover is pulled off with a florish* "is the 6th gen!" *applause, oohs, ahhs*

^^^This, what if they had a couple of different bumper covers and they were testing the responses. They probably no that CNBC doesn't have the highest ratings, but it spiked today because of the Camaro!

Because this type of preview will hit a bigger audience than just the full reveal. I'm wondering how much CNBC paid to get this segment?

Maybe the pictures shown were an accident, but that interview in a camo'd car with the GM President was definitely planned for today.

Exactly what he said ^^^^ and was recorded live....

If true...that is AWESOME. (I was happy with the 335HP rating in the CT6, and maybe the person writing this article is just rounding up, or maybe GM hasn't officially rated the LGX yet in the Camaro, but 340+ would be awesome.) That dual mode exhaust surely adds a couple more ponies and torque to the output versus the exhaust on the CT6.

It's kinda disappointing ... The tail lights look like copies of the C7 Vette.. And the front bumper looks like the Toyota Camry front bumper ... Other than the bumper covers, it kinda looks the same as the C5 Camaro ... Guess I was expecting more.

Why all the Camo wraps on the cars while testing?.. It looks 95% like the current C5 Camaro.

Or, and you'll have to bear with me for a second... GM provided stock footage of the new Camaro to all the national media outlets to use in their reporting of tomorrow's unveiling with explicit instructions to not use them until the unveil happened, and someone at CNBC royally screwed up and included the footage a day earlier than instructed.

I'm sure there's also stock footage of the cars on roads that'll be used in reports tomorrow as well. These outlets appreciate having the footage early so they can put together a good piece with stock footage while reporting. But there is an understanding of secrecy that was violated this afternoon.

Not feeling it. Wow.

Still need to see one in person but overall, it's pretty underwhelming. I definitely would like to see a direct comparison with the 5th gen. We should have some better pics tomorrow.

IT WAS LIVE!!!!

The feed cut out for goodness sake. It was NOT a mistake. You didn't watch the video did you?

That Camry is actually a really good looking car. I rented one a few weeks ago and was impressed with that front end.. didn't realize at the time why.
