2012 Camaros already @ dealerships? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Rocknroller · 08-18-2011, 04:13 PM

Hey guys & gals, just wondering if the '12's are starting to show up at dealerships? I thought I saw a post less than a week ago showing the 1st 45th being loaded (doesn't take long for "truckloads" to get 'em there, huh). Second question is; do all 2012's have badging/markings stating the 45th anniversary?

suplex · 08-18-2011, 04:22 PM

I haven't noticed any 2012's yet, but seeing as how they usually arrive in September...and August is past the halfway mark...it wouldn't surprise me if some dealerships may have them already.

For the 45th Anniv. badging...so many have de-badged their Camaro's in here taking off anything from the Bowtie in the grill to the words "Camaro" on the front fenders, if you have a 45th badge...and don't want it...shouldn't be hard to get rid of.

Some dealers have 2012s on the lot already, but the pickings are slim. One dealer in my area has some LS and SS trim '12s, and a search on sites like cars.com will show you whats in your area.

Yes, people have been posting pictures of their 2012's

No, only the 45 year anniversary edition has the badges

The dealer I'm working with for mine has started receiving the LS and LT's, and they got their first 45th 2SS Convertible today. It looks like they should have a steady flow coming in over the next few weeks too.

Plenty of 2012s around here now. Most of the pics are in the various TPW threads in the ordering/tracking section of the forum. The 45th badges, emblems, decals, embroidary, and Carbon Flash Metallic are only on the 45th anniversary edition. I'm sure the 45th fender emblems though will be available from GM soon enough. I'm thinking about buying some for my car when I can, probably just one over the driver side tail lights on the trunk.

Our dealership has some.

bimmerborn · 08-18-2011, 04:35 PM

I am going to look at 45th editions now. My dealer has 7 total 2012 Camaros in stock. All PDIed (Pre-Delivery Inspection)

Rocknroller · 08-19-2011, 04:53 AM

Thanks for the info everyone. The reason I asked was, there was a pic on line of one bought locally (very small town). I really couldn't tell by the pic if it was or not. Hard to tell the difference between it and the '11's.

A couple dealerships in Cincinnati have some '12 models. One dealer in particular has several 2012 convertible SS models. It's a large dealer in town though, so maybe that's why they got some of the early ones.

The 2 dealerships in Fresno have several '12 models.

Has anyone seen the new foot well lighting in person? I ordered a 45th anniversary with it but I have not seen it yet

10forty2 · 08-19-2011, 06:36 PM

Saw one today. White with black stripes. 2SS/RS. Auto. $39K. Had a big "SOLD" sign in the window. I gotta admit...I like the new steering wheel.

I ordered the kit for my '11 and I haven't seen it either. I hope I like it. Did it come with a choice of light colors? I have heard there is a choice of light colors but just a rumor really, I didn't have the option.
