The preproduction models (like all prototype/test mules at this level of development)
lack all badging. I wouldn't take that as something we'll see on the production car.

also to support the last statement... i just listened in on a guy who was promoting the concept at a car show...and he even said that GM will not change enough to make it noticeably different....SO much so (he continued) that driving side by side down the road, you wouldn't be able to tell which was the concept and which was production.

now if the gas cap ends up being on the passenger side... then i think EVERYONE in here will notice the difference!!!!! LMAO!!!!

How 'bout adding the sunroof to the list? Oh, and I'm assuming the Caddy engine is there to stay too, (as one of the V6 model engines).

Does anyone have a general idea of the power these V6 and V8 engines will have? Thanks!
Dude just because the LS2 and the LS7 aren't there doesn't mean the Camaro won't have any power lol.

agreed, i mean isnt it a good thing that the people at GM are upgrading there engines to pump more power out of them, more efficiently and produce better gas mileage engines? im by no means saying these are bad engines because there not . im just saying its ok to upgrade and build upon what they have and know.

ditto. i'm game for a 35 mpg/hwy engine that still has near (if not) 400hp. and if takes them a while to develop that fuel consumption to horsepower ratio....so be it. technological advancements FTW!

Since someone brought up the subject of width of the camaro, does anyone know how it is measured? I assume its at the widest point (rear/vent area)?

Sorry, I've been rather scarce the past few weeks. I've made some updates to the facts list.

As I no longer have the time to read through every thread on this forum, I'm relying even more on you guys to post with suggestions for additions to the list.
