Spy Shots: Camaro caught in white this time

Click above for more high-res spy shots of the white Camaro prototype
We're not sure how this happened, but Corey Roginski, the same photographer who snapped the batch of black Camaro pics we showed you last night, also managed to shoot one in white. It appears he was given the same cordial welcome by engineers in whose care the car was placed, even going so far as to take a picture of the beaming photog posing with the car. Corey tells us that the he owns a '69 Camaro that his family bought new nearly 40 years ago, so getting to do an impromptu photo shoot with two prototypes of 2009's hottest car is why his face is beaming like a kid in a candy store.
We must be quick to point out that things like the headlights and taillights and other various components of the car are not final production pieces. But the body shape likely is, every crease, curve and bulge (unless GM's playing a horrible trick on all of us). As was the case with yesterday's batch of photos, Corey wasn't allowed to shoot the interior, further lending credence to GM VP of Global Design Ed Welburn's claim that the production innards of the new Camaro will be a pleasant surprise, despite spy photos that suggest otherwise.

What's with all this "copyright" nonsense over these photos you're posting? Do you have to pay these people to use their photos? They should pay you for the exposure their sorry @$$es get on your website to the 800,000 visitors.
p.s. I'm not bitter that it wasn't me next to the Camaro. My wife gets a pre-prod X6 this week! :)

you must have no idea of how the media works with photographers then, people own the rights to those photos, thus credit must be given to those who deserve it.
and why would someone pay instead of getting paid for their work?
The car's not bad, I'd still like to see some more of the colors though.

Jimbo, dude.....it's talk like that that gives BMW owners a bad name. Chill out, copyrights are just part of the territory when it comes to autos.

How did this guy get to use my username? Is it the "j" instead of the "J" I use. If so, Autoblog should fix this issue. I don't want this guy speaking for me.

So, a painter should have to pay someone to take their work? Someone who builds a cabinet should have to pay someone for it?
The reasons are what others have said, If you take a photo... any photo, its copyrighted to you. Its your work. That was his work that he sold, he doesn't want someone else right clicking it.. saving it, and then trying to sell it to someone else.
Same with why the Autoblog watermark is on the image. Autoblog doesn't want another site to be able to just freeload them without Autoblog getting credit, cause most like they paid money for these pictures. Thats also why its not in an easy spot to remove.

The spy shots are coming out because the Challenger just reached production. GM is trying to dissuade people from buying Challengers now, hoping that they'll wait for the Camaro.

im hope those are not the production headlight design because if it is it kinda sucks. they should have left them as the concept.
over all except for the headlights i like what ive seen.
ohh and another thing those front brakes look tiny for a 4klbs car!

At least read the article before commenting.

Its a prototype so the headlights are just pasted in there. Seems funny you would think something as simple as headlights would make into onto one of these prototypes. Maybe there are leaving them off to hide the production car's face. Technically speaking though it can't be that hard to design in a couple of headlights.

I am as excited about the new Camaro as anyone but enough with the spy shots already, lets just wait for the car to be released.

Yes, I hate it when the invisible hand of the internet forces me to look at these pictures too.

lol
And if this car is bland then what does that make the endless mainstream, FWD sedans and refridgerator box trucks polluting our roads?

Equally bland?

"Equally bland"
+1
i.e.: Big, bubbly piece of nineties-style plastic.
a.k.a.: Retro done by a guy named Bubba, designed with a chainsaw.
If that car comes free with a pair of fuzzy dice I'll reconsider...

Lucky Guy. I usually don't care for white cars but somehow this one looks pretty good to me.

3seriesking,
This is really off topic but what do you think about the Audi A5? I used to be all about the 335xi coupe but now I think I'm sold on the A5. I'm certain that if I was spending

I really like those A5. Personally, if I had to choose between the 335xi and the A5, I'd go for the Audi. If I were looking for a Rear-wheeler, I'd go with the 335i but other than that, the A5 is one hell of a ride.
