The one from the new movie I am sure will be updated to match the new Bumblebee. This robot is the one from the first movie...That is why the wheels and front don't match, but compare them to the pictures I posted of the first Bumblebee.... it matches..

Yeah the speedo is from an 04-06 GTO, the HVAC controls are from an 04-06 GTO also the automatic trannys shifter is from an automatic 04-06 GTO. So I would assume that is a safe bet or it is at least using some GTO parts, but it could very well be a GTO underneath.

I wish GM would have saved up some money and simply used the GTO chassis to make the Camaro.. Then it could have look exactly like the concept and come out sooner.. However the Production version although not an exact match is very close and overall will be a smoother ride because of it..

Hey I am new to the forum and have also been waiting on the new camaro. I went to order one this past week and was told that their gonna be $10,000 more now then in a few months, and he also told me their only getting 5 for the year. I told him I would wait. Is any of this true. I have read so many different things and have been told so much, I have a headache. I really want black with the Inferno orange interior. Would really appreciate it if someone could give me some tips. Thanks

thank God they didn't! they had to modify the crap out of those GTO frames to put the camaro bodies on them. that's not what kept it from looking like the concept anyway. the changes were made to satisfy safety requirements, save production costs, and make it overall more user-friendly. (that's the simple explanation)

kinda the wrong place for this kind of question, but your dealer is an idiot! there are plenty of dealers who will sell you one for MSRP. finding one with allocation left will be a little harder, but there are quite a few out there. just use the

in the top right. to avoid headaches & get the latest information, this is one of the best places to come! glad to have you here!

license plates don't match either

Mattsack789 · 04-06-2009, 06:21 PM

Why are they still using the concept? I'm pretty sure they had pre-production 'maros when this was filmed!
