It must be annoying if you are a spy photographer hiding in bushes and waiting to snap a new car only to be out-papped by the company itself.
It is a growing trend for manufacturers to release their own pre-production shots of their cars which simultaneously gets them publicity and ruins photographers’ days.
Recently Chevrolet released official spy shots of the new Camaro coupe but now Ed Peper, the company’s North American vice president, has posted pics of the convertible version on his blog.
He said the response to the coupe snaps was very positive, adding: As a reward for your interest – and your patience – here’s a sneak peak of the convertible version of the Camaro, which is also undergoing a similar evaluation as we ready it for full production later next year.’
The pics are only low res at the moment and the actual production models may vary slightly.
The car is expected to debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show.
