New Camaro pics.

[V-Car]

Some new Camaro interior pics taken while cars were on a truck going to Northern Europe for cold weather testing.

And apparently Bob Lutz has had it with spy photographers after these pics were taken, so has ordered all masking to be removed, and they have released this photo.

Do we think the vehicle at the back on the bottom of the truck in the above link is the new VE Wagon?

Some nice Holden metal on that transporter too

when is the new camaro due for release?
I saw it in the transformers film while flying to Florida and thought its a superb car!!

The exterior looks great and pays homage to the original Camaro

The interior ............... oh dear oh dear

Dials and switches all over the place, a steering wheel from a Klingon space ship, and seats that look like they're from a base model Ford Fiesta.

The Monaro interior has a very fluent design ..... this new Camaro interior just looks a mess to me.

[sarthek]

Agreed. I really like the exterior, but I'm really beginning to loathe the interiors of new cars. The sportier the car is, the goofier they seem to try and make the interior.

I'm really starting to like this car as the only real replacement for my Monaro in 3+ years time, assuming it's going to be RHD. I've always been a fan of V8 muscle, especially in coupe form, and if they sort out the interior to be something other than a primary-school hack & slash design project, then I'm sold!
I've always been split over the American way of muscle cars - I very nearly bought an LS1 Pontiac Trans-Am before getting my Monaro, but ultimately the cheap plastics and shakey production quality put me off, despite the fantastic engine underneath.

looks stunning BUT I wonder what visibility will be like with the low roof line and huge a frame?

[ringram]

Id say its good timing to remove the tape with the new Challenger now on sale.
Camaro prod starts Oct08 for sale Q1/Q2 09 from memory

[willisit]

Yes - October for production and currently Feb 16th on sale (2009).

The interior isn't finished, and it does look very close to the concept - and sort of like the 1st generation cars. I like it - I just hope we see a RHD model.

Who gives a... it looks gorgeous

[td*ute]

Yes, I agree this looks stunning, having owned a Camaro from each previous series, I must admit this one is very nice.
I read somewhere an interview with Bob Lutz saying that the new Camaro will be the first Chevy to be built in the US as RHD and LHD, so I suppose that answers that question. Although I believe it will be built in Canada.

One of these might just tempt me out of the Ute!

[willisit]

AutoExpress is reporting the Camaro will be LHD only...

Not exactly the end of the world if it is, but it'll cost twice what the US will pay if so for the same car (surprised? um, no).

Worth importing then I guess!
