I wonder what the other car is? Malibu coupe maybe?

Hunter330123 · 04-29-2007, 07:06 PM

the one on the wall looks to me like the aveo just with a different grill

AirGoya · 04-29-2007, 08:07 PM

Thats awesome. It might be because they're standing in front of it but it doesnt look as wide.
That picture from what i can tell in the back looks really cool as well.
EXCITING!!!!!!!

SSRich · 04-29-2007, 08:13 PM

picture in the background and on the comp. looks diff. maybe a malibu but if that is the new camaros front end. NO Camaro for me!

Hyperknight · 04-29-2007, 08:21 PM

I think it looks like the roof line is higher too

Hunter330123 · 04-29-2007, 08:30 PM

i figured it out!!!! the car on the wall is the volt concept

Moosen75 · 04-29-2007, 08:32 PM

on one website i was reading about this some one on the inside said that its part of the rwd projects list. and then they said two door malibu......... and a two door malibu makes a chevelle by past standards. but about the camaro i like what i see so far

heres that website:

Sorry, but I'm going to have to call

too much Photoshoping has been done to that picture to give it any kind of credibility.

EllwynX · 04-29-2007, 08:53 PM

The Camaro's headlights appear to have retained the halo, but are like the Bumblebee Camaro's headlights rather than the concept.

Not that I'm complaining, I like what I see.

*TAG UR IT* · 04-29-2007, 11:56 PM

The pic on the wall could be anything. A Chevelle? I doubt it. GM has a few rear wheel drive veh's in the works and I doubt they would try to bring out another rear drive which would only compete w/ the Camaro. If GM were to bring back a rear drive, it would be to revamp the GTO or build a Firebird/TA. That's my guess. It could be a concept type Malibu or Impala.

The clay model? Hmmmm. I look at that picture and think it was taken a while back and isn't recent. Who knows.... I'm not looking too far into it.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 04-30-2007, 07:09 AM

Those are NOT real lights, nor is that a real grille, or a real windshield...relax, no need to get upset. I've no doubt that that is the real camaro production version, but those are cardboard inserts, or plastic...pick one. You can tell they are fake by the way the light reflects off of them.
Cool find anyway - it looks lke one of GM's deep, dark, underground laboratorys

Just some FYI. Seems the clay model is the production and the red car is the back end of the Camaro if I am reading that correctly.

stevenm357 · 04-30-2007, 09:34 PM

i think that pic is pretty much bull shit. it just seems a little off. Hope they don'tr eally raise the roof line though, that would be bad.

Well...they said it was only going to be raised 15mm...think that was to allow for more rear deck lid space and a larger opening for the trunk. If you think about it, 15mm is almost nothing at all. Just a little more head room for us tall guys! That's all good by me.

Right, so I can spike my hair without puncturing the roof!

When I was younger I was really liberal with hair gel.
I mean, you could stab someone with my hair...no joke!

But back to topic, I don't think that GM would release all 3 GM leaders standing in front of a "production clay model" if it wasn't the real deal. Glad to see they are making progress. You know TAG, it was you, I think, who said that it would be better to advertise a late release and release it earlier, then advertise on time and release it late. I'm beginning to think this might be the case!!

AFSNightrod · 05-02-2007, 06:59 AM

I love how they are showing only a little bit at a time. Actually it makes me pretty mad. I want to see the whole car, and I want to see it NOW. If they hold off too long on the release date I could get impatient and buy a Challenger or GT500. I wouldn't want that to happen.

Dark Knight · 07-31-2007, 10:03 PM

anybody ever find out if this photo was legit or not?

I don't think they did, and I'm most certainly not holding my breath.

*TAG UR IT* · 08-01-2007, 12:53 AM

I betcha GM did it on purpose. You know they reviewed the picture before releasing it to the press to make sure they looked okay...the placement was okay...etc. They studied the hell out of the picture. They knew the car in the background was there....they knew.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 08-01-2007, 01:21 AM

Ooooh, those silly-guys.

Who's a little smarty? who's a little smarty? Who is it? Yes! You are - you pain in my Ass!

R

Release another teaser why don't you. Test my already thin patience for 2009 a little more. I tell you - I'm having a real hard time waiting! But my only other option is a 'Stang, so I'll wait.

Man i hear ya!! only thing different with me is that i still got till beginning of november to pay my car off then i can start saving. the more money i have saved the better off i am so time is on my side for once!! But a production picture would be extremely nice that way i know exactly what i'm saving for. I'm gonna be extremely pissed off if they didn't keep their word and stay true to the concept design!!!

Kyle.Gilmour · 08-01-2007, 08:54 AM

I agree with Hunter330123.
It could be the Chevy Volt. They introduced it around March/April.
