Interesting idea, putting out their own spy shots.

Don't unwrap the Mustang just yet...

We've seen 2 years of Camaro Concepts and now we'll start to see
naked Pre-productions...We've seen 2 years of Challenger and next month the Production version unveils.
If this is the case the 2010? Mustang will be the freshest design out there...

still wish GM would revise the front and rear a bit. 1-piece tail lights like the 1st-gen F body?

- seeing it in white, on first glance I thought "Mercedes Benz CLK!" (the greenhouse vaguely reminds me of one in that shot) oops!

Agreed. So far so good. The Camaro's biggest challenge will have nothing to do with its design - it will have to do with being late to the party...and where fuel prices are at when it does.

That said, even at $100 per barrel, oil is cheap, if you really analyze it.

K now for the front gm! I'll bet this is a reaction to the very unflattering spy pics released earlier. You can actually see the body lines quite well in that shot and looks less watered down than those other shots.

I got the same impression. IMO from the photo released, the rear view looks considerably different than the concept. Not saying it's good, or bad just different.

The reverse lights look horrible just floating in the middle of nowhere...

And did anyone notice the sunroof?

Well, it's a teeny-tiny photo, but I luuuuuuuuuuurve what I see. It looks 95% like the concept, which is no bad thing.

Nothing I would sell my GT for, or pass on the Challenger to buy. I am happy to see GM offer the Camaro again though, and hope they do well with it; however, for whatever reason I do not find it very appealing.

If you ask me, GM really blew it not having the Camaro production version ready for unveiling at Barrett-Jackson this year along with the GT500KR and the Challenger SRT8. Late to the party indeed. I wouldn't consider the Corvette a musclecar by definition, it's a supercar, with a price tag to match.

I was skeptical when that previous "white" Camaro was revealed, but overall, this car looks like it sticks pretty close to the concept...and that's a good thing.

I agree the Corvette is not a muscle car (muscular, maybe), but the regular C6 is hardly a supercar.

Eh, I think it looks better than previous iterations we have seen, but it's still nothing to jump up and down about...

I've been saying for a long time the new 'maro looks strikingly like the 05+ Mustangs. Everyone wants to be like us, yet everyone hates us. Why??
