Denizens of the Camaro5forums captured the car on the set of an upcoming series, and though the pictures aren't as crystal-clear as the last set of Camaro spy shots, they do appear to show a slightly tweaked car sporting an SS badge on the grille.
The badge, rear lip spoiler, and a very slightly different set of wheels appear to be all that set the SS apart from its naturally-aspirated brethren from the outside. The vent directly above the grille, below the hood also appears to be functional on this car, unlike the apparently filled groove in the white Camaro spied previously, and could be the ram intake for the supercharger's intercooler.
A sunroof may also be atop the car, though that option should be available to all Camaro models. Whether this is an actual SS or an SS-badged car with a few extra appearance options, however, is unclear, as a more complete body kit and aggressive front end would seem likely styling cues to differentiate the SS from the standard Camaro.

Does the world need another gas guzzling, V8 powered, american muscle car at this point?
I think not, and it might be too late in the game to introduce yet another!
Like the 1971 Dodge Challenger, this one is not destined to be appreciated by anyone who has to foot the bill for a full tank of $4.86 a gallon gas...

Since Chevy plans to sell mainly the V6 version, like the Mustang which mainly sells in V6 form, so yes. Especialy helps that Chevy is adding a non-DI V6 to the line-up. Plus the V8s that Chevy uses are pretty fuel efficient, look at the milage for the Vette, pretty fuel efficient already.

the vette mileage is good because the engine is big enough and the car is light enough that it barely needs 2 rev
and i can't wait to see the interior of this car
looks great! amazing how close to concept it is, even the headlights

Even in Europe and England, where gasoline is much more expensive, "enthusiast" cars still sell, even though there are more practical and fuel efficient alternatives.
Of course this won't sell in the volume of the Malibu, but boring cars are, well, boring.

The only negative about the new Camaro is that the model was ever discontinued in the first place, and that we had to wait so long to get this one. Chevrolet needs this car; and it's huge number of fans want this car. I'm a V8 guy at heart; the gasoline V8's torque, smooth power delivery, and ability to move on out or move a big load are simply unmatched by any gasoline-powered configurations of fewer cylinders. If I have to drive some mega-mileage econobox everyday back and forth to work I will, but on MY time I'll be behind the wheel of something more enjoyable. Larger, high-torque engines running relatively slow can crank out some pretty good highway MPG figures, and get up the hills without all the transmission downshifting and high revs that little four cylinders need. A cliche reference like "Gas Guzzling, V8 powered..." is incredibly tiring and basically shows how little the writer apparently knows or cares about things like brake specific fuel consumption, current technologies such as cylinder deactivation, or what it takes to get a big load moving up hills, etc. The Camaro won't be for everyone, just as neither is the Mustang nor Challenger. But it sure looks like there will be plenty to enjoy for those whose buttons this car hits.
