General Motors announced it would delay production of the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro by a month in mid-January, but photos released today reveal cars being built on an assembly line in Oshawa, where production will eventually take place.

The full-scale production run isn't expected to start until March 16, however. In the mean time, Chevrolet is ostensibly building cars for press previews, testing and final refinement.

The pictures, posted to the 5thGen Camaro enthusiast forums, show just about every stage of assembly from raw bodies-in-white heading to paint to the finished product rolling off the factory floor. For enthusiasts, this is a beautiful sight, a forerunner of the actual production cars that will soon begin to land in customer driveways.

There's no shortage of enthusiasts to be found, either, with over 10,000 of the cars already pre-ordered. Most of the early orders were for the ground-pounding SS version, but later orders found a balance with the V6 and mid-range V8 models as well, according to GM.

Once production gets underway in Mid-march, cars should arrive at dealerships shortly thereafter. When they do, they will join the G8 as the last Zeta-platform cars to be sold in the U.S.

    if GM had brains they would re-tool for RHD and export it. Aussies are crying out for a 2door muscle car. Problem is because there isnt one on the market grey imports for similar cars are usually about 5 times the equivalent price of a competitor. Case in point, the Shelby Mustang 500 is sold here, but for approx AU$500,000.
    a standard v8 'stang is about AU$130,000

    we are gettign ripped off with the pricing.

    Australia great place to live, but also one of / if not the most expensive place(s) to live in the world

    $20 says they will appear as rental cars in popular destination spots around the US - florida, california, etc... and we'll be sick of this car in 15 minutes - just like with that Chrysler 300c.
