December 31st, 1969 Despite the sheer number of near-production Camaro test-mules cropping up in both the U.S. and Australia and the recent release of its Dodge Challenger rival, GM’s new muscle car won’t be arriving in showrooms for more than a year. A lot of things could happen in the next 12 months and the Camaro we get in 2009 may not share much with the concept version first revealed in 2006. Fortunately, these new spy shots show that designers have kept most of the lines of the original concept but what’s worrying is GM is keeping a close lid on any details about the interior. The carmaker has been known to show off stunning concept cars in the past, only to deliver dulled-downed production versions with barely any resemblance to the original show cars. The same thing could happen to the Camaro as engineers try to keep costs down, but at least the car’s exterior looks like a winner as these images from Camaro5 reveal. There are expected to be three versions of the new Camaro, an entry-level model with a possible turbo four-cylinder engine borrowed from the Solstice, a mid-level V6 with GM’s direct-injection 3.6L mill, and a high-performance ‘SS’ model complete with an LS3 V8 engine. As for pricing, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz has previously stated that it will be priced higher than the Mustang mostly because of its “sophisticated suspension system.” Production is scheduled to start at GM’s Oshawa plant in Ontario, Canada, in February next year and up to 100,000 Camaros should roll off the factory floor each year. 2010 Camaro spy shots Via: Camaro5 Forums2010 Camaro spy shots

    lets hope for new headlights and the best interior in its class(better than mustang and challenger)

    You can have the car. It isn't very impressive to me. Not enough like an old Camaro, looks cheaply built, (check out the mass of plastic they call a grill and headlight surround). And, a possible turbo 4 cylinder powering that brick - no way. I can't believe they expect 100,000 suckers a year to bite.

    The lights/grille and any trim you might see are all "place holders". Too early to judge yet I'd say. :)

    I like the look of it a lot.
    Just enough retro to evoke the old cars, and ust new enough to be new.
    They really followed the Mustang concept here, and it will sell.
    I don't know about a 4-banger in there, though, but I could be proven wrong...

    the interior will be the let down.......always has been one of the problems with american cars...along with build quality...if they do it right it could become a modern classic, but i think that it will fall short of the mark. Saying that though id still have one ! :-)

    As long as it does not turn out like the porker Dodge Challenger (nearly 4200 lbs. !!) I say let them take their time. I don't know about a four cylinder model, although I have heard some rather interesting things about an electro-assist transmission (think something like a hybrid) that may be a good idea . Just think lite as in weight, GM. Take your time and do it right!
