”Oshawa, Ontario GM Plant To Build Mysterious Second RWD Vehicle
The tentative agreement announced earlier today between the Canadian Auto Workers and the General apparently contains provisions for, among other things, increased GM investment in production of a new vehicle at the Oshawa, Ontario plant. Why does this plant sound so familiar? Well, it's probably because it's where the 2010 Chevy Camaro will be built. Although it's unknown what this second vehicle they'll be building there later this year will be, we do know it'll be rear-wheel drive. Feel free to go ahead and begin your speculation after the jump, but our money's on a large Cadillac or a Buick, maybe even a Caprice! The opportunities feel endless! But what say you? [CTV.ca]

There's just something right about a primer second-gen Camaro, isn't there? Add the obligatory GM rust around the rear window, hang a pair of handcuffs from the rear-view, stop by the 7-11 to grab a pack of Marlboro Reds and a sixer of Mickey's Big Mouths and you're set! Now, we don't know for sure whether the owner of this '77 fits the Ideal Camaro Demographic- hey, maybe this car is owned by a 68-year-old veterinarian who favors those three-dimensional sequined sweaters- but it's more fun for us to assume we're looking at an ICD car here.

2010 chevy camaro
We know you've seen the 2010 Chevy Camaro plenty of times by now, but trust us, you haven't heard it quite like this. It must be the fanboys at Camaro5's response to Lexus trying to steal the spy video thunder with the LF-A video from earlier. Because thunder is exactly what the Camaro's big 'merican V8 sounds like as it races around the famed German track. The video is over six minutes of rumbling goodness, so you might want to let it load a bit before watching. Ooh, and look, a Pontiac G8 GXP was there too.

New Screenshots Appear of Midnight Club: Los Angeles
We heard about the release date yesterday, but today we've stumbled upon some of the screenshots from the latest addition to the Midnight Club series. These screenshots feature the likes of the Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R, Saleen S302 Extreme and S7, Dodge Challenger SRT8, 2010 Chevy Camaro and a 2008 Cadillac CTS even appears blurry in the background. Wow, that's quite the repertoire of drivable vehicles in the open-world racing game.[via Rockstar Games]
Mad Max Hood Mural Will Add Style To Your 2nd-Gen Camaro!
You're proud of your Malaise Camaro (and who wouldn't be?) but you want it to stand out from the crowd? Head on up to Windsor, where a mere pittance of one hundred Canadian dollars will get you this 1977 Camaro hood with custom Road Warrior airbrush mural. That's right, you're looking at a signed 1985 work by Ivan of Cosmic Studio here. There's some rust and paint chipping, but the plastic scoop is just fine. Thanks to Hoser Dave for the tip! [Kijiji]

57% of answered in the negative when asked whether third-gen Camaros belong in this series, which means that it's been well over half a year since our most recent DOTSworthy Camaro (though if I can find the right '82 I'll go ahead and shoot it). Second-gen F-bodies are fairly plentiful on Alameda's streets, so it was no sweat finding a good example of an Early Malaise machine for today's post. I ran across this '74 in the vicinity of the '50 Dodge pickup and at least a half-dozen other DOTS vehicles; truly, this car's neighborhood is a rich vein of street-parked classic iron.

2010 Chevy Camaro SS Caught On Nurburgring, Stig At The Wheel?
Some say he was once a victim of American "friendly fire." Others say he used to be a GM engineer until Bob Lutz rubbed him the wrong way. But all we know is, he's called "The Stig" — or maybe it's his fat 'merican cousin — and he appears to be taking the new 2010 Chevy Camaro SS out for a 'ring run. Wait, what? That's right, although we knew the 2010 Chevy Camaro had taken to the Nürburgring earlier this week in what we've been told is das SuperSport (or because it's Germany does the "SS" mean something different — SuperAuto Motor und Sport, perhaps?) mode (check out the Brembos), we didn't know they'd be taping an episode of "Gear" at the same time. But how'd the Camaro handle? Well, check out the full and slightly skinny-on-details description from the spy shooters at KGP below the jump.More »
2010 Chevrolet Camaro Ogled By Forum Members - New Info Leaked
Very interesting news about the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro coming out of the oft first-to-know Camaro5 forums. Seems a handful of their number were offered the chance to tour the Mesa Arizona hot weather testing grounds and managed to see a couple of Camaros up close and personal. When asking engineers some questions, interesting things can come up, such as the possibility of a supercharger option, an independent rear suspension unlike the GTO setup, an inferred weight between 3,300 lbs and 4,000 lbs. and what's this — flappy paddle shifters? Very interesting.More »

Hoon Of The Day: 1967 Camaro + Wall = Compact Car
It takes a lot of work to build your very own, custom 1967 Camaro drag racer. Though accidentally crashing it doesn't necessarily make you a hoon, taping it from multiple angles and putting the outcome in a video that's book-ended by before-and-after shots is awesome. While the driver and the camera come out of the unfortunate incident without much in the way of damage, the poor Camaro comes out Corolla-sized.[YouTube via Edmunds]2010 Chevy Camaro Gets Kitted Up?
OK, you thought those purported press photos of the new Camaro convertible for 2011 were wild? Check these out. These shots, again from the always-willing-to-market-themselves folks at Camaro5, appear to be of the new Chevy Camaro we saw teased in that GM accessory video yesterday afternoon — body kit, ground effects and all. While we're still not sure of the veracity of these shots — especially the photo of the Camaro from behind with the chrome on the wheels all a-gleamin' — they look somewhat credible. Now as to whether or not they look good? That's up to you, the commentariat. So — what say you? Is it real or is it Adobe-rex?[via Camaro5]
2010 Chevy Camaro Convertible Production Press Shots?
So what do we think folks? Does the Chevy fan-boy site Camaro5 have the first production press photos of the 2010 (or maybe 2011) Chevy Camaro convertible? The shots look — well — have a look yourself. There's just something not right about them and wethinks it isn't just the rakish tilt of the camera. What do you think?[via Camaro5]

2010 Chevy Camaro Accessories Sneak Peak
Those rascally fellows over at Camaro5 snagged a video of the latest and greatest Camaro tease. Global Accessories Design Manager Larry Sully does his best Bob Lutz impression and lifts the skirt of the pending 2010 Chevrolet Camaro to reveal optional body work that's being worked up as we speak. We can also see a monstrous spoiler perched on the rear deck which remains under cover. Sully also mentions the design is doing well considering the car is a year from launch - which puts the start of production sometime in March 2009 unless he was speaking loosely. We're wondering if the peek we get is supposed to show the body work, or the rectangular exhaust tips which recall the last generation Camaro.Extra Flavor, Extra Fun: Twin Black Camaros Caught On Camera
