Spyshot: Velocity Yellow 2009/2010 Camaro spied! - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Nice to see another color but someone needs to teach all would-be spy photographers how to properly post-process their images. Bump up the contrast and saturation and this blah yellow quickly becomes the eye-popping yellow you'll see on a Corvette.

Also, it looks like Chevy is testing an alternative for the beloved piece-o-rope trunk release. Look closely in this picture and you'll see it has been replaced by a piece of twisted wire....

Yeah when I first saw the real Bumblebee in our studio away from car show lights I actually thought the shops had painted one of our models a 70's TransAm gold or something. It's really dark. It sat there for an hour before I realized what he was... that there was a 'celebrity' car in the room! I asked him for his autograph like three times with no response. I even sat in the seat... there actually is a little glamour being a car designer!

It is probably just a way for them to track the mules.

I think they released this color just in time for Easter.

I'm not a fan of yellow in general, but it always puts a smile on my face when new spy pics come out. Cheers for upgraded flexible stringy trunk release device. Still hoping we get a nice lip spoiler option somewhat like the one offered on the Challenger SRT8.

wild_weasel · 03-24-2008, 07:47 PM

I don't mind the yellow one bit. I think the door handles ought to be body color though. The black one still looks the best by far.

I'm glad I don't see a trailer hitch sticking out the back end. And I don't care if there's a sunroof up there or not, but T-tops would be a nice throwback I think. The thing does look stellar with no spoiler, but a nice little lip spoiler would just complete it for me.

I beleive bumble bee was a golden shade of yellow. I believe it was called sunrise yellow. I could be mistaken. I am glad to see other colors but I saw the black one and fell in love.

how come no on is complaining about no key hole for the trunk? I like rope as much as the next guy but that titanium wire may scratch the paint. Also GM has a thing about not atching certain accessories to the body color. Like the steering wheel for the interior and for example on these prepro's the door handles and mirrors.

I would love to tour the factory where they make them in Canada. Maybe if we all drive up at once they will let us in. Camero you think you can swing it?
