Tall, Grande, Venti: GM releases extra large version of Camaro pic
You might wonder how many times we are going to report on the same photograph. We first showed you the unwrapped Camaro after Lutz commanded it to go without camouflage, but the photo was no more than a thumbnail. We next brought you a slightly larger version along with photoshopped versions showing what the Camaro would look like in a variety of colors. Now in our (hopefully) final post on the photo, we bring you a high resolution version practically straight out of the camera. You can now inspect all of the pre-production details without squinting at your screen and speculate to your heart's desire.

I have seen the 09 Camaro at a few car shows and can't wait to get my hands on one. I will be getting a gray one ASAP. The lines are awesome and the inside is very clean and futuristic. How can any Camaro lover not love it!!!

I love Cameros but I can't get over how freakin' ugly this thing is. The worst thing will be wading through them next summer as every knucklehead who never got a sports car in High School will be buying one!

I find it hard to believe you really love Camaros when you can't even spell the name correctly.
The concept car was exceptionally well received by the public.. inside and out. This car looks to be staying very true to the concept car... inside and out.
Personally i think it looks great on the outside, and while i prefer to have a more conventional interior.. i think the one being implemented will be fine.
I'm sorry to hear you don't the magority of people on the styling of the Camaro. You will be missing out on a great car.

cool...it has a sunroof! I think that would be a first for a 'maro if I'm not mistaken. Usually converts and t-tops were the drill. Good move General.

interesting with these high res pics you can see how tight these body lines are even on this pre-production model

With the huge C-pillar and tiny windows, that thing will have absolutely horrendous visibility.

i'd gladly sacrifice some visibility for style.
that said.. i don't think visibility will be bad at all.. it's not a well known fact.. but you dont even have to look over your shoulder to see your supposed "blind spot".. the door mirrors will do just fine. Most people have them pointed in too far and have much of their own car visible.. you should not be able to see the side or rear of the car at all in your side mirrors.
on my car.. i have them set that way.. if a car is passing me.. i can still see the rear of the car in the mirror by the time the front of the car comes into my field of vision

I don't think I'd sacrifice visibility for style considering style doesn't matter when your car's been crushed by the 18-wheeler you couldn't see.

@Firestorm:
I don't know about you, but I need to have some of my car in my side mirror. It adds a bit of perspective to what is seen in the mirror.
Unless someone has a neck injury, I can't think of a legitimate reason to NOT look out'n'back. It takes, what, like half a second?

make that the first mirror comment. you don't have to have a part of your car in the mirror. and why turn if you don't have to? it's safer to keep your head forward and just glance at your mirror.

That's ridiculous. A six inch mirror does not have the visual range that your eyes have. Turn your head and see the whole situation not just the part that fits in your mirror.

i am completly blown away by this
do you guys seriously think that the blind spot is an urban legend?
truly terrifying
