Looks like GM is sticking pretty closely to the concept form.

Hard to say from that photo but the greenhouse looks taller than the various cars at the auto shows.

Bull. I saw one on the roads a couple months ago right here near Detroit. I was running a delivery for work and saw one a half-mile away, but it was heavily camoflouged. Had I not been running that delivery, I would have turned around and snapped a few shots.

I'm almost positive it was the Camaro, though there is a very, very slight chance it could have been the 2008 Challenger.

GM tends to use the zebra masking. Not sure about Dodge products.

The car I saw was all black masking. I would think that all-black would attract less attention than the zebra masking.

That is definitely, DEFINITELY, the Camaro. Look at the round taillights and the brow of the trunk lid.......camoflauge or not, a dead giveaway.

The new Challenger has a full-width taillight strip acorss the whole rear end......I've seen the car personally.

I hope that by the time Chevy launches the Camaro it will not be rigged with first year problems.

Yeah, I've seen them both personally too at shows and at the Woodward Dream Cruise. However, I'm almost positive the car I saw driving around in August was a Camaro. I'm kicking myself for not turning around and taking pictures though.

No. The trunklid, tailights, and rear fenders, even under cover, are consistant with the Camaro show car......see my post above.

And Dodge, to my knowledge, cancelled plans for a Charger coupe (but, by all means, post it if you have any evidence otherwise). The money and time, instead, went into the upcoming Challenger.....perhaps the best and most accurate retro job yet.

I saw a red one at sfautoshow. Not sure why they didn't display a yellow one. The wheels are much bigger. It looks really nice.
