Default Bob Lutz declares "No more camo on the Camaros!"

Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupes, Chevrolet

For the cadre of camera wielding auto spies chasing the 2009 Chevy Camaro, life has just gotten a little bit easier. Mere hours after a new batch of spy showing a camo-covered Camaro hit the interweb, Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper posted a message to the GM Fastlane Blog declaring that all pre-production Camaros would be stripped of their camouflage from now until production starts. Apparently, Bob Lutz decided that the camo was causing too much interference with cooling and aerodynamic testing and it needed to come off. Since everyone pretty much knows what the Camaro looks like already, it won't make much difference, but here for your edification is the first official pic direct from GM.

Good news. Can't wait to see what the Frontend looks like.

By the looks of the Spy Photos posted earlier today they did some work on the grill and headlights from what was on the Concept.

They need t-tops. Then again I think every vehicle should have t-tops.

Somehow I think a sunroof is going to be the only option for a targa esque roof.
