Until I see "2010 Chevrolet Camaro" in a direct quote from a GM official, I'm sticking with 2009.
However, I can see how that would make some sense.
It's pretty much agreed that this car is going to be available to the public in February of 2009, a full 5 months later than the usual September release date for new vehicles. Now, if this was a 2009 Camaro, that would only allow for a 7 month model year, they'd have to be ready with the 2010 version pretty quick. Now, if this was the 2010 Camaro, they'd have an extra long model year (19 months). This makes more sense to me as they are already planning on releasing the convertible and whatever special editions soon afterwards. They really don't need to release a new model of the coupe or convertible that soon. Plus, let's not forget the whole aspect of model year sales. With an extra long model year, they can boost their numbers for the records.
As for the idea of moving to Michigan for the 2011 model year? Keep dreaming. GM spends millions of dollars to outfit a factory for a specific car, they are not going to outfit the Oshawa plant just to move it all after the initial release. Unless they're thinking they will need to produce the Camaro in two separate plants simultaneously, in which case they must be predicting a HUGE number of sales.
