Cool 8 Test Camaros in Furnace Creek, Death Valley. Revised lights & white convertibles.

Spotted 8 C5's at Furnace Creek in Death Valley on Friday 4 Feb 2011. Didn't get a chance to talk to any of the drivers as they left while we were eating at the 49er Cafe. All 8 had Michigan Manufacture plates and one of the yellow cars had the sunglass tail lights.

No closeup of the sunglass taillights?
This was probably a bunch of GM engineers testing the cars for some reason. Death Valley is a very popular place for auto manufacturers to test cars. Maybe they have experimental drivetrains.

this is a test fleet, you can tell because a few of the cars are not specific to their make. for instance that RS camaro you took a picture of has the 19 inch 2LT rims, not the 20s.

Looks like two of the yellow Camaros have the sunglasses taillights.

Those taillights are from an early design version that wasn't produced, that car is probably an older test car. To my knowledge they're not putting those into production. It would be a mistake if they ever did considering the mostly-negative reaction to them.

Sunglass lights/elephant mirrors

Does GM really believe that there is someone in Germany who wants to buy a Camaro looking like the yellow one?
