The NYIAS public days are from 3/29 - 4/7, but we may see GM release teaser pics ahead of the public days to coincide with the press day reveal (which are the couple of days before the public days start). Hence, look for the first photos of the refreshed Camaro around 3/27.

Chevrolet to Showcase Performance at NYIAS

GM Launching Five Global Debuts, One North American at 2013 Show

Chevrolet will showcase a new lineup of 2014 performance cars, including the all-new Corvette Stingray coupe and convertible, all-new SS performance sedan and refreshed Camaro.

"Chevrolet customers have validated our performance credentials, and we're going to give them even more reasons to be enthused," said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America.

The 2014 Camaro advances the design and performance attributes that have made it the most popular sports car under $50,000 for three consecutive years, while Chevrolet's new SS is the brand's first V-8-powered, rear-drive performance sedan since 1996. It's based on a race-proven global platform and powered by a 6.2L V-8 rated at an estimated 415 hp.

The all-new Corvette Stingray coupe and convertible roll into the Big Apple 60 years after the Corvette made its public debut in New York City. The seventh generation of the iconic sports car will be the most powerful standard Corvette ever, with an estimated 450 hp.

Along with the new Chevys, GM is launching two new Buicks and a Cadillac at the upcoming New York International Auto Show for a total of five global debuts and one North American intro.

Visitors of this year's Show will be treated to a peek at more than 50 other newly revealed cars, trucks and concepts that the world's top automakers have to offer from America's first and highest-attended auto show.

That's a look I like on my convertible; top up and windows down.

It will never happen due to necessary rigidity.

Tell that to Mercedes...
And for that matter the the people that designed the Camaro convertible. I find it hard to believe a metal roof panel without a B-pillar would be less ridged than a convertible with no B-pillar.

Not that difficult. Put extra bracing similar to the convertible to restiffen the chassis. It wouldn't need nearly as much since it would still have a full roof.

It's the crushing of the hardtop, a convertible has no top to crush. Not sure what Mercedes has done, but if you want your next Camaro to cost as much as a Merc...

They can stiffen up the windshield frame and C pillars along with the roof itself to take care of that. There are many hard tops still being built today. It can be done.

Yes, but it cost $$$$$$$ how much do you want to spend on your next Camaro?

It can be done in a cost effective manner...and a 2 door is much easier than a 4 door, especially when they have a wide C pillar like the Camaro does.

Sounds great you get it done!
