Most of us can only afford one year round car!!! Maybe some of us will have to back to 20+ years ago and "snow tires"????

Now the tires again!!! 18" and19", all season tread. 20" clearly says SUMMER TREAD. Not a good choice in the north. Do we get a choice or pot luck? What happened to the Goodyear Eagles we all love???? Never had a car come with B F Goodrich that was worth a damn!!! Perelli, no expearience.
here ya go

I think they all have the disclamer that they are pre production actual production car may vary.

I'm sure they will have some new guides once the car is actually released or just before it is. I wouldn't take anything on that guide as being final. Actually I'm not going to think of anything as final till I'm in the car driving it home.

The one on the left is a production car. The reason the mirrors look the same on both is because that is how it is supossed to look. GM design did everything they could to make production look like concept, so they designed to mirrors to look the same as the concept in certain lighting, by putting a well placed crease to give it that effect. The one the left does have a b-pillar, but you cannot see it because, once agian, the designers wanted it to be as invisible as possible to retain concept looks. The one on the left also has the production door handles. The wheels on the car on the left are not as large or deep as the one on the right. Also if you look close enough, you can tell that the roof on the one on the right is lower. The larger amber side marker light is also larger on the car on the left compared to the on right. The dead give away is the lack of "mail slot" on th eone on the left. They are 2 different cars, left production, right concept. I think I've gotten my point across

Will the tire-infaltor kit have the same goo that comes in fix-a-flat?

If it does, you don't ever want to put that in your tire because I believe it is bad for the tire and most mainstream tire repair places don't like dealing with the mess it leaves behind...

Will my 4th Gen spare have the same bolt pattern as the 5th Gen? With IRS, I don't have to worry about a different size spare...

I'm not sure, but I bet it's similiar. Speaking of which, that tire inflator sounds like a good way to drop 5 to 20 pounds when removed!

Yeah but only in two colors: White and cyber grey. What the heck happened to black. Everybody has seen "bumble bee". I'm sure someone out there had an idea of yellow with black stripes. I think there are some who will not want to wait for what I suspect will be a Bumblebee apperance option down the road. Blue with white is OK, but grey? And Inferno orange with grey? Uck!!

And i also heard from some where that the new camaro will be offering launch control and afterburners. Call me crazy if you want but thats what i heard. Is this true, I didnt see anything in that pdf file that said this. lol

you will get ambient lighting with leather package. so I don't see why you can get it with the SS, i'm pretty sure you will be able to get it with the SS too but from my understanding ambient lighting is paired with Leather package which most likely would be the RS package for both SS/RS and RS/V6

Camaro Tour???

Just a note:

for about 6 to 8 months before the Sky officially started being sold there were approximately 20 pre production Skys touring the country and being shown at different Saturn dealerships. I hope they do the same with the Camaro, so everyone will get a chance to see one up close and personal before they officially start arriving for sale.
