No -- these will not go to dealers -- at least initially -- they will be used as CTF cars for select drivers and engineers around the U.S. and Canada......

Some will be used for displays - -some will be used for training sessions (product training--)

Most will be returned to Detroit -- gone over with a fine tooth comb -- retrofitted with the latest and greatest 'stuff' -- and then sent to the GM Auction where dealers may bid on them as "used Divisional company vehicles"....so many of them will reach happy owners.

Others may be used for testing at Milford when they return to Detroit -- and some may be used for 'other' purposes....

Thanks Fbodfather.. ...

BeermanSS · 03-08-2009, 08:03 PM

do other car companies actually build this many test cars? Seems like we've seen so many pre pro cars for many different purposes. Now, I do think that quality control and ensuring you have the best product you can put out there is the #1 priority. But how much money has GM spent on cars that aren't going to be for sale. Dealer cars are necessary, testing is necessary, but damn thats a lot of "corporate cars". Thats a lot of our tax dollars sitting there. I just don't understand why they need as many as they have built over the past many months.

Heck yeah, I would be PISSED If I go to get a Camaro and it has holes screwed into the front bumper!!! I wouldn't accept it, they can say it's law all they want, law does not require using self taping screws into the front bumper cover of your car!!

I found the parking lot of Camaros in Oshawa. I took some pictures with my camera phone.

I also included some pics of the concept vehicle that was unveiled at the Detroit show in January of 2006.
