Yeah, I remember hearing most car companies destroy their pre-production test vehicles. It seems kind of counter-productive, since it would be good to have a couple around half way to production as a reference for any improvements.

Wasn't there an IVER Corvette from the 1960's that just went at auction for about $2 million?

I'm sure the engineers must have a hard time watching their blood, sweat, and tears get crushed like a tin can. All that work down the drain.

Doesn't that cost bocoup bucks?

I'll buy the IVER Scott!!! I think I got a coupla bucks lying around here somewhere.........

I still would have preferred a hatch along the lines of the Scion tC where it LOOKS like a trunk, but the rear window opens with the lid like a hatch.

The 5th Gen will never have the versatility of either the 3rd or 4th Gens...

(Note: I'm still buying one, just voicing a preference.)

Yeah, I noticed that too and it concerns me a lot. It is very annoying to see the huge trunk on my Cobalt coupe but knowing I can't actually fill it with anything because the opening is so darn small. hmm...

The cars are very primitive and do not have production intent parts. Remember -- they are built long before engineering is done -- and they have an incredible amount of miles on them - most of the miles very 'hard' miles. (and not to mention that Shunt just MAY have been in the trunk and pulled some wires loose......)

The interiors are very primitive in that there is lots of hard plastic -- no graining -- parts in some cases are velcroed together -- or glued/taped.

Unfortuntely, because of the above, they cannot be sold -- and as a result, they are crushed after recycling as many materials as possible........

Yes -- we've had people offer money for them -- along with their willingness to sign a waiver -- the problem is that a waiver is no good once they sell the vehicle to a second owner..........

So -- some of the material just MAY make it into your new Camaro -- because of recycling..........

We did keep an Alpha and a Beta of the C5 Corvette -- so I'd like to keep a Beta IVER of the Camaro --

.........because I think a lot of Camaro Enthusiasts would like to see where Shunt actually lived -- whoops
-- I mean -- I think people would like to see what an IVER looks like up close ---

[pinkcamaro10]

OH NO! Shunt needs to be freed before they are destroyed!!!

[2010_5thgen]

i would buy one of the pre pro coupes and put it away as a collector. i would sign a waiver saying that i would never sell it. what do you think they would say then?
