chevydude26 · 01-12-2009, 11:41 PM

it will come out in 2010 right???

will there be any changes to like the frame or shape of the car from the regular one??? (besides the roof)

please pretty pretty please can we get some pics??

and how come the convertible is taking longer i'd imagine its because it needs a separate factory correct??

Production cost and technical issues. GM trying to do it right.

Want an example? C4 vettes... they all vibrate with the top off unless you add
a 3rd party bar. Why? Because GM mgmt rushed the design out because some people didn't want T tops. What's the point? They want to do it right and yes it costs more. No you don't need another place to make it but it will need the right gear and parts.

There was a thread of pics in the media/spyshot forum. just search convertible and pics. Nothing much will change except for the third brakelight will be moved.

Thats if it even gets produced

RSPARKS5 · 01-13-2009, 12:48 AM

Can anyone give me their best guess on how much more the convertible option wil be? gives me more time to save up my pennies

*Mindz* · 01-13-2009, 12:51 AM

3-5,000 would be my guess.

RSPARKS5 · 01-13-2009, 12:54 AM

Thanks Mindz, any chance of seeing one at one of the upcoming new car shows? Chicago's comes up next month wondering if I will be able to sit in one at least........

Everything I've been reading on here is now saying it's going to come out as a 2011 model. If you want one for sure, get your name down with your dealer. If they haven't started a list yet, you'll be #1.

It was put on hold, then last week GM announced it will be produced as a 2011 model.

camaroconti@evs · 01-13-2009, 04:48 PM

Production was not 100% for 2011...but that looks to be the deal...we all hope. This car looks great as a convertible

Sizzox · 01-13-2009, 04:53 PM

The ford mustang vert price tag is roughly $5,000 expect the camaro to be within 1,000 +/- of this..
