To the Many Friends of Camaro:

We know it seems to many of you this day would never arrive, but on Monday, July 21, 2008, at 4:00 PM, EDT, Ed Peper, Chevrolet’s General Manager, and Ed Welburn, GM’s Director of Design, will unveil the details of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. This unveil will be the first step in answering the many questions (or should we say confirming the many rumors) surrounding the new Camaro.

Due to many factors, we are not able to extend an invitation to the entire Camaro community to join us in person for the dual, simultaneous unveilings that will take place in Warren, MI, and Los Angeles, CA.

We understand many of you may be disappointed not being able to see the car “in the flesh” that day (and therefore give you a reason to meet us at Indy in September); therefore, we are arranging a live webcast of the Warren unveiling on the GM Next website.

On Monday, July 21, just before 4:00 PM, EDT, go to http://camaro.gmnext.com and click on the "Camaro webcast" link at the top of the page (the Camaro link goes live July 17) to tune in the unveiling. If you cannot watch the webcast live, no worries, an archive of the broadcast will be available on GMNext.com and Chevy.com/Camaro.

Speaking of Chevy.com/Camaro, the next evolution of the site will also debut late Monday afternoon. The next evolution will include images of the production model, exclusive production animation, and a downloadable PDF file containing specifications on the 2010 Camaro. After the webcast, come on over and see the changes for yourself.

If all your questions are not answered during the reveal, a web-chat on the 2010 Camaro will take place the next day (Tuesday, July 22) at GMNext.com. The chat will start at 9:30 AM, EDT, and will feature experts from Chevrolet Marketing, Design and Engineering.

Since Camaro’s production announcement in August 2006, many people throughout GM have been passionately developing a car worthy of its heritage that features beautiful styling, segment-leading performance, excellent fuel economy and advanced technology. Quite honestly, we can't wait to show you all the work on Monday.

Sincerely,


Team Camaro

What issues is GM having with the 6L80 auto?

Shift paddles, HUD, ???

This is the main problem. The Camaro may/may not be a nice car. But, when you are comparing it against a 4000lb, 4-door, touring car - there's something wrong. As I said in response to this post, the Camaro should be about the following words/sentiments: value, simple, horsepower, no-frills, good running gear, presence. It's not about being "comfortable" by having the latest in technology or interior materials.

I guess it's hard for them to see that when they could sell all the loaded to the gills V8 SS' they could build in '02 while base V6 and V8 cars rotted on the lots. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I don't like the size of those wheels. I saw a prototype at Lowes Motor Speedway a year ago, but couldn't get close enough to see inside. Like the exterior, except that the deck lid seems a little high. I'll withhold judgement until I see the interior in person. Either way, I hope the thing sells like crazy. GM needs all the help it can get.

True - heck, my 2000 Trans Am used to be loaded.
