Just for future reference, Leftlane News is a little hit-or-miss. There have been a number of Camaro articles they've posted that have been just plain wrong, like saying the Z28 has never been higher than the SS. They are also pretty import-biased, especially their readership, if the comment sections are any good sampling. Anyway unfounded rumors make their way through organizations all the time, so while I don't doubt at all that the sources here are GM employees, perhaps even senior GM employees, that doesn't mean they're directly in the decision making group for the Camaro. I deal with this all the time at my work. We're just about to start on a major overhaul and expansion for one of our properties, and the rumors are flying. Many of them are true, many are close to true, many used to be true, and many are just out of left field. Things change all the time, people gossip (yes even execs) and sometimes things are misunderstood. I totally understand the trust you're placing in these sources, but luckily this time we can breathe a sigh of relief as they have been addressed by someone we know is extremely close to the project.

Scott is not a direct contact. But he was a FORMER Camaro and Firebird Brand Manager, and he is current shows and exhibits manager for Chevrolet and Hummer. Now I not saying Scott doesn't know what he's saying how ever former is former. I served in the military but I too am not by any means a liaison for the military nor is Scott a viable place for info. So what I'm saying is "who really knows who's right and who's wrong...
Well GM will answer that question next year."

What is the deal with July 22? Not trying to change the subject but keep seeing the date poppin up on other sites.

Oh come on... do you really think that GM is going to have a sit and chat about what their plans are for the Camaro with the factory reps and disclose information to them that they have been working so hard to keep secret so that they could inturn run out and tell all their dealerships who inturn come out like this and make silly claims about future production vehicles that almost no "official" information has been release about yet?

And if you truly believe that I have a big red bridge for sale you might be interested in...

That's the date that has been set to unveil the production Camaro to the dealerships. Ask your factory rep...

NOw Now. Thank you for the offer on the badge but I don't beleive I'll be needing it. OF I course think leaks get out, "loose lips sink ships." But what is a better way to find out what the public thinks without askin. And I didn't see the dudes in the pics with the Camaros hidin in the bushes. They were all out in the open like the "rumors". Sure some pics were from a distance aka Spyshot but others were up and personal.

I don’t know about this front fascia… I really liked the smooth front fascia on the concept and the first IVER Camaros. Now, the silver supposed SS looks good but I just don’t know about those new cheekbones on the fog lamps??? I’m saving finale judgment for now… I will say this; it still looks like ‘The All Mighty Street Fighter”…

Don't apologize! (well...for being offensive, anyway)
I didn't take offense. I just found that to be a rather curious statement...

I might be the only person on the board that detests the grille; both this blacked-out one and the one on the original concept. It looks like cheap plastic and I've never warmed up to its chunky look.

I'd much rather have one that looks like this. (NOT the rest of the mods, just the grille!)
