When was the last time you saw a Right Hand Drive 3rd gen convertible.... NEVER! That photo is like something from an alternate universe.

I'am thinking that the SS with the RS package will give us the two bar grill from the test mules in place of the standard single bar grill of the RS and base SS. Why would GM test over the road with a grill that had a place for the bowtie and not use it. A new grill, strips, and red SS badge is my guess.

I may be wrong....

This is pretty sad that I think the V6 is MUCHHHHHHHHH better looking than this particular SS. I sure hope changes are in the works. Not a biggie though, I'll swap with a V6 guy.

And whoever thinks you're gonna "cook" you're V8 is just rediculous.

Whats the deal? The Aussie reveal is done outside with a range of older Camaros. The Californian reveal is done on a turntable...and they broadcast the Michigan reveal that was done in "Joes Garage" over the Net. Something wrong with that.

Plus, why do they get the V8?

Alright GM, I think this is very important to get corrected. The Lower grill is fine but the actual design of that grill insert needs to change to match the top grill (does not need to be exact). It will finish the look of the car, as it stands the V6 RS looks much better, even though I like the SS bumper.

... I've said my peace.

That is pretty much exactly how I feel. I'm just not 100% certain about the bumper overall because the grill is killing it that much for me. I would love to see the SS bumper with a matching upper/lower grill. I agree, I think it will work wonders.

For some reason, I'm liking the car MUCH more without the actual mailbox slot right in front of the hood, along with the SS bumper. It's not bad at all, but the V6, I'm loving it.. Since the basis of the slot is not usable anyhow, I just really wish in the ordering process of the car, I can have the option to opt for such. The V6 is IMMACULATE to me, especially in RED, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to opt to losing the power, but at the same time, I just don't want another V6, but again, I just want the car, and it all depends on the price.. cause for me.. the RS PACKAGE IS A MUST FOR ME!!!.. The black is nice but I truly agree with an earlier post, It doesn't give the lines as needed that you can see in the Red or Yellow versions of the car. I love black, but its just something about SPORTS CAR that SCREAMS FAST and RED!!! So.. RED for me!!!

Seriously though, what would you think if you designed the Camaro and you begin to hear that people want to trade the higher trim bumper with the lower one. Yes, the lower one is the concept but still, usually people want the top end.

This concerns me only because I am actually considering exchanging them, and I honestly thought that lower grill design would change. I never thought I would want to exchange them but hopefully something happens.

Please! Its imporntant I don't want to go aftermarket or exchanging or anything.

I agree, I like black but it hides the awesomeness of all the lines and design especially if the front grill is black. I would think the grill is one of the MAIN attractions to this vehicle. I will only go with bumblebee yellow or that red!

... and of course RS all the way!
