Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Official press release here; http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/04/c...detroit-early/
Damn thing was born to be a convertible. Absolutely beautiful.
I actually got to see the real thing in person a few weeks ago over at Design Center. It's even better looking in person.Last edited by Nine Ball; 01-05-2007 at 08:00 AM. Reason: used better link to press release

Like the car but not the windshield frame. I guess I'm used to seeing the body color on all past models.

Also, 2010? Come on GM said they'll have hydrogen cars on the road by then. Doesn't make any sense.

Uhh, no...that would be Ford. And as far as getting our asses in gear, I believe we are already doing that. The Camaro is not going to "save" our company (not that it needs saving, mind you). Our most important products are just seeing the light of day (The 900 truck platform, the Acadia, Outlook, Enclave. And cars such as the Aura and new Malibu. We just have to hope our contract talks go well this year. We're doing fine, and will be a force in the years to come. Originally Posted by WhirlingDurvish

Well I hope you guys don't let that happen. It'd be a perfect nod to the original camaros. The photos shops in Hot Rod look perfect. Originally Posted by trapin

Im a hard top man but Id sure dont mind looking at that convert.
The after market should be looking at these pics hard. First thing that needs fixed are the punny side mirrors. They dont look right at all.Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

Thanks for the pics!
This thing is sweet. I agree on the mirrors. too samll. Also not sure a bout the console gauges. The seats will definitely be used in years to come as popular PT convertible transplants. I can't describe all the things I like about it.
Nineball, that last "Cars" pic at the end is hilarious.Nick R.
