That's because they are testing 2 looks for the stripe. Long and short.

Wow. Complaints on an unfinished clay model with photoshopped elements to boot. Anyone who thought for a second this was in any way 'real' needs their eyes checked.

I'll hold judgment until I see a finished product. But hey I'm just crazy that way.

More so than a clay mockup or photoshop job, I'm almost convinced this is a 3D digital model made in a program like 3DS max... Some of the angles, particularly the rear 3/4 shot look a little off.

@acarr260: Actually I believe they are showing the stripe at two different lengths because they will be available at both lengths. They just chose to show they both together, for some reason.

It's a clay model, so thats why the tint looks so dark. It has no interior! The clay is painted (yes they paint clay) or maybe even dinoced. so it's gloss level is too low to accurately reflect the surroundings. If you watched the GM accessories video you can tell this is the car that was under that cover.

Putting different things on each side of the car is a common practice in the design industry.

As to it's looks, I've always thought most vehicle personalization is for people with no taste anyway, so this fits.

To me this shows how good the basic design is. Everone knows factory , dealer add ons are horrible looking. Beneath all that crap is a good looking canvas to work with. SLP and GMMG will bring it out. Just get this thing to the market. Trust me it will all work out.

How long until "Pimp My 2010 Camaro", shows up ? I'm sure that the obnoxiously huge wing gives it another 30-50 mph on the top end. If it comes with 19's or 20's...forget it ! Too much weight. Also, if the car, even in base form, weighs anywhere near the 2 ton mark...Chevy has lost another buyer to Ford or even Hyundai ! The base V-6 needs to come in around 300 hp and even the base V-8 needs to have at least 350+ hp. Will this happen ? Who knows ? Adding a body kit to something that already weighs too much and has the aerodynamics of the White House won't help GM.

Is this one of the new Fast and Furious cars? I actually kind of liked the Tokyo Drift version of the Series but this looks like it is part of the GM abomination that will be part 4. Seriously, are these the people that actually watched Pimp my Ride to get ideas? "Hey I have an idea, lets make this new camaro badass... tint the windows...and...oh yeah a huge wing! Wait...what the hell is this engine thing you speak of?"

Mike the Dog — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:17:59 EDT

@Schweppes: I'm with you on the mockup thing. Who puts limo tint on a windshield, anyway? The grille is pretty obviously 2 dimensional (printed), and you are right about the wheels. There are at least three sets shown, one six spoke and two five spoke designs. There seems to be 2 different wings here also, unless it's a lighting thing, one white the other red. My money is on this being a prototyper's mockup of some sort.

YAY! It seems to be working now! I would have been able to post this at 6:20 this AM if that hamster hadn't gotten tired.

@deftonesboy360: You having gone to school for car design creates a very biased opinion. Its my belief car designers/executives are much like the military. The higher the rank the lower the intelligence. Just look at most of the crap we are being dealt on the dealer lots these days.

I will say I like the looks of the factory concept and the convertible. This? This just looks like West Coast Customs Pimped GM's ride!!!

KingRoyale — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:59:05 EDT

It's the actual model with the clay add-ons from yesterday's video, someone just Photoshopped on different wheels, painted the pieces in some and removed the stripes in others.

Does it look good? The front clip and hood look nice, rear valance isn't bad, but the rockers in black and the danged spoiler aren't helping keep my early lunch down.

Chevy better do a metallic red rather than the Ferrari-esque red, otherwise this will just look like a damned toy on the street.

deftonesboy360 — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:42:28 EDT

Having gone to school for car design I can tell you this is a real design mock-up. I dont think the average joe is going to make body kits in photoshop that look like clay and black tape. Clay is the traditional tried and true way of making a full scale car design model and black tape is industry standard way to block out design details and paint schemes. You can easily mock it up take some pictures, rip it off and try out a different paint scheme. Plus the rear diffuser is exactly the same as that in the video yesterday. Also, the wing is a bit gaudy, but the overall, the kit is really sleek. I am all for it. Can't wait to buy one of theses new cameros when they finally hit the streets.

crazygutgut — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:58:30 EDT

Mock up? I think its P-shop.. The reflections on the car dont seem to match the back ground, for one. There are three sets of wheels, but if you look at the wheels the lugs and the centers are in the exact same spot on each wheel. Once sure, thats possible, twice odd coincidence, 3rd time? Photoshop...

georgejetson — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:51:34 EDT

That's a corporate mockup for internal review. The two sides of the car are different because they're testing two different variations of the package -- that's standard GM practice.

I think the neo-RS front end works pretty well, but that rear is terrible, and way dated in a skinny-tie-Duran-Duran sort of way. The wheels are nasty too, as is the spoiler.

jolaszek — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:20:35 EDT

Great. This is just freakin' great. Way to take two steps back.

GM's kinda the poster-boy for trailer-park. Around these parts, we called Chevrolet "The Deadbeat of America." The 80's Camaros bore a large brunt of this, and not entirely undeservedly.

GM's been working really hard to turn the wheels backwards on the whole Pep Boys Accessories Department Catalog Display Vehicle schtick. It really sucks to see rolled around in that kind of flour again. It's even worse to see how much of it has stuck--in other words, how easily the new Camaro comes out looking like a total shitburger.

I really, really want to like GM again. But rolling abortions like this Fast-n-Furious/Fisher Price amalgam, plus things like "Pontiac G8 Wagon? Hell no! Pontiac G8 El Camino? Fuck yeah!" on top of "Oh Wait! Rear-drive gets crappy gas mileage! Stop everything" really bite my ass.

Come on, GM! This ain't 1986 anymore!

I think if it had been photochopped, it would have looked much better than this. The pics seem to show various stages of the stickering process, as the hockey puck is missing from some shots. It also looks like they painted chrome rims matte black for some reason.

Overall, not impressed with the wheels, the striping, the wing, the chin spoiler, the rocker panel moldings, or the back bumper ground effects. But I like the direction of the grille surrounds and headlight covers.

Schweppes - Now with more beard — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 06:08:36 EDT

Looks like a clay model/mockup. The glass looks off and the grille appears to be paper. Also appear to be 2, and maybe 3 different sets of wheel unless the perspective is really messing with me between the different shots.

Overall, change the wing and go with the matte black wheels and I would be quite happy with it.

Pretty hot looking in red too.
