Video: GM’s Camaro Designers Talk About The Transformers Movie

GM Blogs just released two videos featuring lead Camaro interior designer Micah Jones and GM’s Director of rear-wheel drive performance cars and Corvette, Tom Peters, talking about the Camaro and the forthcoming Transformers Movie. Yes, we agree both are acting kinda geeky but to be honest, we definitely prefer these folks to all those Armani suited car-folks walking around with a set of yellow-Bilsteins stuck up their a$... -Follow the jump to see both videos

Transformers: Bumblebee Makes A Guest Appearance At The Barcelona Show

Barely a month before the long-awaited Transformers Movie hits the big screen (July 4) and the producers of the film decided to take Bumblebee for a cross Atlantic jaunt over to the 2007 Barcelona Motor Show (June 7-19). In case you’re wondering why we’re not seeing the '09 Chevrolet Camaro, that’s because Bumblebee will start off in the film as ’76 F-Body Camaro that later becomes the '09 version.

Chevrolet Camaro "RIP"...

In a couple of years, thousands will be lining up in Chevy dealers getting ready to place a down payment for the all new Camaro. Many will do it to re-live their adolescence without spending time or money in restoring, others just to make a quick buck by reselling the first pieces on e-bay and hopefully, many by the car itself. Same goes for the Dodge Challenger. But what about the cars that actually inspired this retro muscle-craze, what did fate behold for them?

Well, some lucky ones found a home in your everyday garage where they’ll spend the rest of their life “married” to passionate everyday folks who’ll cherish them and treat them with an occasional spin. Others, less fortunate spend most of their time between “rest-homes” and auction halls. Even worse though, some like the Camaros shown in the pictures are cursed to stay still in graveyards abandoned to the harsh hands of nature till rust takes all….

Super Chevy mag stumbled upon this car graveyard filled with first & second-generation Chevrolet Camaro located somewhere in Southern California. Don’t tell me that seeing these Camaros doesn’t burn a few heart valves. Via: Motorpassion & Super Chevy

Drop-top gorgeous – Chevrolet Camaro Cabrio official pics

Embargo what? Oh, just read what we wrote earlier this morning so we can continue with what really matters to car enthusiasts like ourselves. Ok, maybe Dani’s prayers for a T-Top Camaro weren’t answered but by God, this is one hell of a beauty.-Continued: Click “Read More…” below

Painted in a super-sexy deep orange colour with retro black stripes, the cabrio version of last years Camaro Concept is expected to find its way to production shortly after its coupe sibling is introduced to the market in 2009. Apart from the absence of a metallic roof, there’s no other significant differentiation between the Camaro Coupe Concept and Cabrio. We’ll have more on Chevy’s gorgeous Camaro Cabrio when GM unveils it… officially on Saturday prior to its Detroit Show debut.

Never Mind the Mullets, Here Comes the Camaro

As stupid as it may seem, we couldn’t stop laughing with this Camaro-Mullet lover’s parody. It was made in memory of the last generation Camaro’s and Firebird’s, featuring a pack of mullet wearing, camaro driving, breast fondling, Texans. Instead of presenting a cabrio version of the Camaro concept in Detroit, maybe GM should consider presenting a T-Top version and bring back the “business in the front, and party in the back” hair-do.

Transformers Movie Trailer – Extended Japanese version

I don’t know why but fact is that the boyz over at Japan are getting a few extra scenes of the new Transformer Movie Trailer that came out worldwide a few weeks ago. Not that anybody is interested but they also get the chance to see Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg chanting a few Japanese words. Via:Jalopnik

Chevrolet Camaro Cabrio Concept rumoured to debut in Detroit

The boyz over at Autoweek seem to be passing through some sort of steroid phase today. As if the Mustang 4door-coupe wasn’t enough “muscle” for a day, now they’re telling us that Chevy is planning to unveil a cabrio version of this year’s Camaro Concept. Now, if you’re kinky enough to ask why, well think of it as a striptease game: before we get to the final unveiling –aka the production version in 2009, first they “throw out” the coupe concept in 2006 then a Cabrio version of it in 2007 and who knows what in 2008. Sounds logical if you ask me. Via: Autoweek.com

PS: As with our previous post on the 4d Coupe Mustang, Autoweek requested us to remove the image

Official 2009 Chevrolet Camaro Ringtone - Download Here

I think it's safe to say that we all agree that the Chevrolet Camaro concept was great. People loved it so much that they where even asking for a cell phone ringtone on GM's official blog (Fastlane). So, GM's Design Director Tom Peter decided to make us all a very happy bunch by giving us a free downloadable mp3 audio version of a screaming 2009 Chevrolet Camaro V8 engine. Although to tell you the truth, I have a Love & Hate affair with my cell phone. I need it, but when it rings, Its usually someone who wants something and not sometime, but...NOW. Well, at least with this ringtone I can leave it ringing and ringing for hours...

Camaro Frenzy: GM releases video featuring Camaro's head designer driving & commenting on the prototype

The "Camaro frenzy" that has broken over GM's headquarters continues. A couple of days after the announcement that the Camaro will go in production, it's GMs Fastlane Blog (fastlane.gmblogs.com/) team turn to release a video. The later features Tom Peters, GM Director of Design of the 2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept Car, driving & commenting on the car for the first time at GM's proving grounds in Milford, Michigan.

Contributing to the "Camaro frenzy" I added an original promotional video for the 1969 Camaro SS which includes a clip from a parade of classic Camaro's leaded by the 2006 concept version.

Let the biddings begin... 2009 Chevrolet Camaro for sale on e-bay

Just one, yes only one day after Rick Wagoner announced that the Camaro concept will head for production and a couple of dealers swept the chance to make some pre-mature dough...

I know it was bound to be, but nevertheless, doesn't it strike you a tad strange that people are willing to bid and give a down payment for a car that, a) they'll get in their hands in 2009 & b) they know as much about it as a horse knows about its tale ? I'm not saying that the 2009 Camaro will be a dissapointment , but I surely can't put my hand on the bible and say that it will fulfill every car-nut's dreams. Why not just wait and see ?

Chevrolet Camaro "Comeback" Officially Announced

Following speculations after it's thriving debut at the North American International Auto Show, GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner gave the Chevrolet Camaro the green light today.

"The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the Camaro Concept continues to remind me of the uniquely iconic place our products can have in customers' hearts," Wagoner said. "Camaro is much more than a car; it symbolizes America's spirit and its love affair with the automobile."

The all-new Camaro will begin with early production versions at the end of 2008 and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspension, and will be offered in a variety of models with the choice of manual and automatic transmissions and V6 and V8 engines.
