Late night spy action: 2009 Camaro being offloaded at LAX
Click above for more shots in our gallery.
One sharp-eyed worker drudging through the graveyard shift at LAX was able to catch two Camaro mules waiting to be transported after making the trek back to the States. The pair of prototypes appear to be the same coupes we've seen in numerous staged and unstaged shots, including the white-body version that was declared to be camo-free by Maximum Bob himself. While the pics aren't the highest quality, it's comforting to know that the twins are safely back home after their European vacation.
Thanks for the tip Brian!

European vacation??
Would this not be their fist trip to the States as they have been built and tested down under to this point?
The only Camaro's here were the 2 prototypes and 3 Bumble Bee cars. None of which were production.
We also have not seen any pictures from the ring yet so have they even been there?
Anyway they are to be on our roads and we were invited to try to photo them by Bob Lutz anywhere they are seen as they will also be Camo free here.

Didn't Lutz say "no more camo on the camaro"?

I think they might have even be coming back from australia as they have been tested here recently

For the love of all that's holy, I wish this car and the Challenger would just be released for sale! Dammit, I'm tired of spy shots! I've been seeing spy shots for so long, by the time the actual car comes out, it'll be time for a redesign, because I'm going to feel like I've known the car for that long! This long gestation with all these teases has been ridiculous. Especially for the Camaro.

>>> A point well made, Gooch. But hang in there just a little bit longer as the Challenger will be available for you to kick the tires this Spring.
As for the Camaro, I agree with you and others that all the lead-in and hype on this car is getting a little long in the tooth.

I assume/hope that's not the production interior.

why woud you assume this is not the production interior? it clearly takes cues from the concept car's interior.. GM said they are going to make the car as close to the concept as possible.. i guess that means inside and out
jalopnik has more spy photos of the interior, ILLUMINATED! (imo it looks a lot better illuminated).. and a pic of the engine bay which looks to be the 3.6L V6 from the CTS & others.. this test car even uses the CTS's engine cover!

I'm sure that suits someone's taste but I'd hate to have to look at that every day.

So much for the 'no cammo' rule.
