It's getting better every set of spy shots I see. The first set was horrible, the next was a little better, and these are at least passable. It still just doesn't scream "awesome" yet, but at least it is taking shape to be decent enough to not turn off major numbers of fans.

That engine looks very much like the one used in some of the new cadillac's if im correct. Also, they are using a swithblade key, isnt that kind of German??

Yep, it appears that the Camaro will definitely have a few more niceties than the 'Stang...the S197 Stang, anyway.

Though I don't see any room for a NAV system in that center stack. I guess they're going the OnStar route instead.

It's a shame that they coupled that terrible interior with such a great exterior.

We should be getting at LEAST a switchblade key in the 2010...

The keys for the 2005+ are laughable

Keyless rocks! I think that it is a bit too expensive for the Camaro though.

sucks for everything. I do not want to ahve to take a darn cover off every time i want to touch my engine. And i perfer looking at functional things then some stupid plastic peice. Completely defeats the purpose of checking out under the hood.

Well its the caddy's engine cover..minus the caddy logo.

What kills me is the torque gauge in the car, and everyone on the Z28forums saying how much torque it'll have.
hahaha
Hello... the gauge won't be pegged... mcfly

lol @ key envy, I have tons of worn out flip keys in a drawer from old VW's, I'll pass, that key looks like something out of 1993. I like the key from the Edge, but its huge too, really I don't give a **** at all now that I wasted a minute thinking about keys....


Well the interior was definitely designed by the hodge-podge crew. This thing fails to impress even more with each new photo.

i think it looks like crap

once again chevy tries to turn a nice car into what people will want in the future and i think they failed....

its too fake and cheesy looking i think. and the middle dash and console is way too busy!!! how the heck are you supposed to figure all that out!
