2011 Camaro Convertible Spotted Top Down! Release Schedule. Debut @ 2010 LA Autoshow! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Tran · 07-26-2010, 10:07 AM

Reported on CAMARO5 HOMEPAGE.

We bring you the very first photos of the 2011 Camaro SS Convertible in final preproduction form testing with its top down, and not only does she look virtually finished, but she's gorgeous! A couple of apparent design differences to the Camaro SS coupe is the trunk spoiler shape and the presence of the sharkfin antenna on the trunk.

This inferno orange metallic Camaro SS Convertible was spotted running the back roads with a 2010 Mustang GT Convertible, for comparison. The drivers were seen actively comparing the two cars and providing direct feedback in comparing the two car.

i like it, the first thing i noticed, no keyhole next to the 'bow tie' or anywhere on the panel between the tail lights, i wonder if the did it in the license plate bulb area ala the C6 corvette?

Andro · 07-26-2010, 10:11 AM

Not my cup of coffee

thecamaroguy · 07-26-2010, 10:11 AM

Spoiler different as well.

csjcsj · 07-26-2010, 10:11 AM

Dont care for the shark fin on the trunk though. Needs some rethinking on that.

GlowingBurrito · 07-26-2010, 10:12 AM

Lookin good!

Dr Jkel · 07-26-2010, 10:12 AM

Bet this car will be awesome in Summit white and black interior

RB43TD · 07-26-2010, 10:14 AM

I like it. Top on/Top off, the Camaro is just gorgeous.

Leolee · 07-26-2010, 10:14 AM

looks pretty good to me, even tho the vert i would get is a hardtop but too heavy for this car

fireresq157 · 07-26-2010, 10:17 AM

shroomjohn · 07-26-2010, 10:17 AM

There is no trunk key hole on the Camaro.

I dig the convertible, hope they will offer it in true hugger orange. Then I'll buy one.

Agreed

5th_GEN_SS · 07-26-2010, 10:24 AM

soo when can you order one?

guiLT · 07-26-2010, 10:25 AM

I like it. But it looks kinda long with the top down...

MIT'13 · 07-26-2010, 10:26 AM

I really like it! In general I'm not really a converible guy, but I have to say, they made this one work well.

Me too- I was also wondering what he's talking about ?

I like convertibles but not so much on this Camaro. If GM comes out with a true hardtop- (sans the B pillar) I'll buy a new one.

TLSTWIN · 07-26-2010, 10:31 AM

Imagine that.....same company that spotted the "Z28 SC" car........and the mention of a convertible GT Mustang....now where did we see that car??....oh ya in the Z28 sighting.........but of course there is no truth to any of these "rumors".....sarcasm

.......I am being sarcastic....

.....connect the dots people....

BTW, is that Al O. in the passenger seat?

PHEOX · 07-26-2010, 10:34 AM

I think they have done great for this convertible! It could have been really good, or just terrible, and I think it's really good.

mrcowboy · 07-26-2010, 10:42 AM

I'd like to order one as well....c'mon dealers!

tommyn2 · 07-26-2010, 10:45 AM

nice but convertables just arent my cup of tea.

Good luck to those ordering! hope to see some on the roads soon

BeckyD@RodgersChevrolet · 07-26-2010, 10:46 AM

Another winner!!

elcamino85 · 07-26-2010, 10:49 AM
