The enthusiasts at Camaro5 have snapped yet another Chevrolet Camaro. In Florida. Why Florida state? Well simply because of its high humidity, according to the engineers quizzed. Chevrolet was testing the effects of high humidity on engine performance. Florida does not register the highest humidity levels in the US. It must be raining Camaros! This white one reminds us of the one that got towed in Australia. We ain’t complainin’ though, Camaro is fast becoming the next “it” car, never mind the fact that it’s not even on sale yet.
The range, which so far consists of a four-seater coupe and a convertible, is rumored to be extending itself to include a Ute version as well as a four-door saloon. They will all sport either V6 or V8-based petrol powertrains, and an electric hybrid cannot be ruled out.

lol 4 door camaro, ute, convertible, and the regular 2 door. Now that, is trying to squeeze as much money out of a single design as possible.

didnt you mean 4-door coupé instead? a sedan dubbed camaro would make as much sense as a corvette minivan

Another retro design by the big 3. Are they uable to think of anything new! Cadillac is already having the Germans help with updating their interiors, why not ask the italians to help with the exterior or to help with non boosted, normally aspirated engines with at least 1oo horsepower per liter.

This will probably sell huge for about a year and then languish in SSR land.

I highly doubt the comment on humidity testing... Florida's humidity is much higher in the summer than the winter months. I would be more inclined to think this Camaro is making the rounds for the dealers in that part of the country to get a first-hand look. I really hated the last two Camaro generations before the whole vehicle got axed. This one looks much better in my opinion. The real question for me will be the interior. When Ford went retro on the Mustang they gave it an exterior that is a modern take on the old bodystyle then gave it an old looking interior that really ruins it in my opinion. Hopefully GM hasn't made the same mistake. Some retro touches aren't bad in my opinion but too much just makes it feel like they brought back yesterdays mistakes. I saw the convertible concept in Chicago when it was introduced and the interior was the only thing that didn't grab my attention. If you haven't seen one of these in person don't let the pictures mislead you. The exterior is georgous. I haven't seen the Challenger in person but I do think it photographs better.

yeah, so many ppl criticizing the rear which is the best part of this car, they did the same trick found on the sexy cts: depending on the viewing angle, thanks to a long converging c-pillar, it looks either like a fastback or a 3-box design
