5,844 views since 5pm yesterday. That's pretty darn good.
You know...I got to thinking and there's nothing really different about this picture versus the camo'd pic released from yesterday. Everything we see in this pic is pretty much everything we see in the camo pic. Door handles, hood, side indentions, side air inlets, side mirrors, etc. Really, it's nothing different than what GM released themselves. After all, we still haven't seen what's inside, under the bra's, and what's under the hood. And, even though I'd like to see those pix, I'm more than happy to hold off to help General Motors keep their secrative information from the wrong hands... Keeping the info from the wrong people will only help us in the long run. I'm extremely happy for now. |

so you can do some fun things to the picture in order to pull out some details that are not immediatly visable. For instance...invert the colors. See below. From this, my thoughts: you can see the lines alot better without the white. There is the vent behind the door. That does not remotely look like a gas cap. The doors arent just plain jane. The interior is still hard to make out except it looks to me like there is guy sitting in the drivers seat? maybe not...
Anyway i still have 13 months in baghdad so ill be there pretty well on time for the productions to roll out. Unless this thing ends and we all go home.

Interesting concept, but you're right ... reversing the colors brings out some more details. I think the original photo of the car in white (combined with it being a little bit out of focus) made it hard to see some detail unless you squint a little.
Either way, I love it. Jan '09 can't get here soon enough ... Oh, and I looooooove those rims.

OK - I know that not everyone liked the concept -- but frankly, 90+ percent DID -- and that's 'off the charts' for a new vehicle.......
For those of you who DID like the concept and Bumblebee-- you will love the production car because it's simply more svelte (Relax Charlie and Bob) than the concept.......trust me on this. (How many times do I have to say 'trust me' anyhow??????) This was a horrible picture -- .................and it's what puts me up the wall -- .....................past the pictures............... .........................................and on to the ceiling........ .....because some BOZO (I'm being kind here......) took it upon himself/herself to take a horribly positioned picture and put it out there for all to see. Someone not only needs to be fired -- but PROSECUTED..................and no, we didn't do this to 'leak' it..... Had the person just simply dropped to his/her knees and taken a picture at a more realistic angle-- some would'nt be using words like 'pig' "charger" and such ........ The white color is somewhat misleading -- further, the black bras on the front and back trick the eye into seeing 'vertical' rather than 'horizontal' -- and, as others point out -- lighting is everything in terms of showing 'character' lines. (anyone who sees the Red Fiberglass and then the Silver coupe or Bumblebee will tell you that metallic paints bring out the character lines -- something you can't see in these pics...) Guys and gals -- the production car is stunning......to the point where there is lots of emotion when you see it for the first time. (heck -- Mr. Wellburn HUGGED it!!!) ..........and while I'm in rant mode -- ..............we know we'll never keep everyone happy -- but judging by the comments I read thru 2am this morning on at least 15 sites -- I couldn't be happier with the general reaction.................. Now -- to dispatch the black suburbans........... |

I guess I should also say that there are many of us who are just DYING to see your reactions when you first see the production Camaro.......
...........so while I'm upset that someone leaked this without permission -- I'm also elated at some of the great comments that I'm reading....... Keep the faith!!! |

Well I know how we can solve this little problem...
We can just get some good pics of the production version circulating! I will volunteer my time and camera! What do ya say, fbodfather? LOL :p Seriously though, it's going to be a totally different experience when we see it in person, and I can't WAIT!
