If memory serves me correctly, there is not a mail slot on this BB3. Does this mean it is a 6 cyl???

IMO this is the best looking Bumblebee so far.. love the quad tip exhaust!
I would say the Z28 would look similar to this cuz like the 2nd bumblebee looked like the SLP and after the movie the ZL's came-out I think after the movie their gunna release the Z28.... the Transformer is like the sneak peak of whats nxt! anybody agree??? lol |

I agree with the stripes but only on the wideset part. Full over stripes I like and think the only reason others dont is because ford over does them. I would like the wing if it was a little different. I love the wheels. Either way I cannot wait to see the movie.

The car looking more like the concept made it look sexier as well back then. even though headroom was worse with the concept GTO, the lower roof gave it that sleeker look that the production version was missing. The rear end also looked slightly less fat as well. I saw the concept three times at different auto shows and it made me fall in love with the Camaro and pre-order one. The production vehicle looks as close as possible and still meets all the safety standards the government puts in place. I was glad the roof was higher up in the production, my head would have rubbed against the roof otherwise. However when comparing the two side by side, there is no denying the concept would be considered sexier from the exterior. This Z28 bumblebee is not the concept anymore so that alone makes it look slightly different in the pictures compared to the original. Then slap on ugly stripes and now it is not appealing anymore to me. I am looking forward to watching T3 since the Director promised it would be better than the crapfest T2 was.

Appreciate the clips showing the movie set. Its cool to see the film shot from a different vantage point than what will actually be used in the movie.
As far as the Camaro... just terrible in my opinion. Ugly. Stripes look .... I'm not even sure how to describe it.. I really hate that Camaro's have this stigma - "everyone that drives them is a mullet wearing moron"....not my words just what I've heard a lot of other people say.... well those stripes make me feel like the Camaro is wearing a mullet and that makes me sad. The rest of the stuff doesn't help either like the high wing spoiler. But hey I guess if you are shooting for a target audience of 5 year old kids they will probably love it. They aren't seasoned enough to know any better. |

What's really surprising is that's not a concept anymore. They are actually using a production model now. Looks like they changed a few things to look concept, but it's not.
I do get tired of hollywood thinking in order for us to stay interested, they need to change things every movie. I've been interested since day one, you don't need to change the car every movie. If anything, you'll just end up jumping the shark without even knowing you did it. It'll be too late by then.

Those stripes and the wing destroy an otherwise hot car.

I want to know how they are getting away with stealing Gary's rear quarter vent design!

I guess the target audience isn't on this site. Could it be cause you already love it? I'm not going to penalize GM for trying to branch out. I agree, the stripes look hideous, but the wing is okay. They could have taken a little more time to get the wing to flow with the rest of the car a little better, but it was a decent attempt. GM is targeting somebody, but I can almost guarantee that 95% of this website isn't on that list. |
