VIDEO: 2010 Chevy Camaro cruising to classic rock
Click above to view video
Unlike a number of other drugs, the great thing about 2010 Camaro sightings is that you cannot OD on them. With that in mind, we bring you a lengthy Camaro video, this time of a black car being trailed by an "official" camera car. The great thing about this video is that it comes with its own theme music, and the great thing about that is that you know you're going to hear this song coming out of a lot of Camaros when they hit the streets next year. Maybe they'll even offer loudspeakers in the grill as an option so you can blast it on the way to Dairy Queen. We like the song and the car, and as we said when we reviewed the Camaro Convertible concept: we'll take it in black with black wheels, please. To see the feast for eyes and ears, follow the jump for the video.

I've OD'ed on Camaro sightings. I'm currently suffering from "market fatigue".
GM will probably suffer from "excess inventory" once the initial rush is over, too.

Can we ever get some good audio!? Im tired of the lame music.
Also, it looks like it was filmed on a bike!

On a bike, yes. Dead giveaway is "turn 1" when you see the bike's shadow.

You'd think GM could hire a more professional shaky cam guy to "leak" footage. So far I'm not excited.

Agreed...I think this is all GM's way of getting free pub. No camo on the mules, plenty of sightings around Detroit, etc.

Not a pro but just a guy on a bike from a Camaro web site. GM had nothing to do with this other than having two engineers out driving a the car doing their job.
He staked them out till they drove off and filmed the rest.
Read the story on CamaroZ28.com.
Know your fact before you make false statments.

Yeah, I read it. Great story! He staked them out, like some kinda P.I. err somethin'.

The same people the hate the Mustang post on Autoblog will start complaining soon about the Camaro next because look how many Camaro post there already are and its not even out yet. Anyways just a little rant. I will take a Shelby GT500 over this car though. Still a nice car and it will appeal mostly to GM fanboys more than anything else.

The issues we had with Mustang posts was the eight or nine special editions per week from a while back. It seemed any tuner who could apply paint and a hood scoop qualified as front-page news.
The issue I have with the Camaro is that it's not out yet, yet we've been seeing and hearing about it since 2005/2006. It's called buyer fatigue through overexposure and while it happens to every specialty product, it's happening to the Camaro (and Challenger) before they're even released.
Think about what would have happened had this car would have been if the production version had simply appeared out of the sky one day. People would be a lot more excited about it, for one.

It's so shocking that a Ford fanboy doesn't like Camaro, isn't it?

No power slides? Lame.

Isn't it about time for GM to start leaking spy shots of the facelifted 2014 Camaro? We already know what every square inch of this one looks like from every angle - and more pictures ain't making it look any better.
Wait, what am I saying?! For it to be facelifted it would have to still be in production by then. Long shot.

Not a customer, but still like the design, although it still seems to me that sheet metal is missing where the window meets the trunk, just an odd shape, Camaro from 68 to last run never chopped off or sunk away in that area, just dont get it. Either way, guys like us see this crap all the time, but would not believe the people I talk to who are totally unaware a Challenger and Camaro are even coming. Those people might just be the majority and the core buyers.

You just can't beat old school AC/DC, an awesome choice for this type of car. I hope the General uses Back in Black for a camaro commercial.
That being said, I also want the music of some v8 rumble mixed in. But if its the 4 or 6 cylinder, keep the AC/DC going.

Does anyone else think its odd that on a black car, we can't see the reflection of the chase vehicle?

No offense to AC/DC, but the only soundtrack I want to hear from this Camaro comes from a throbbing V8.
There was one a couple of months back from one at the GM proving grounds that sounded awesome.

As much as I love the camaro, I am starting to agree with those of you who feeling the overexposure. We have another year until , and by then it will feel like it has already been out for two years, needing a refresh in another year. Poor judgement call by GM on this, it will lessen it's impact potential.

wow, i finally feel that GM is turning the corner. maybe its because they have better employment contracts in place... not sure, but just keep em coming.

There's a similar (and excellent) video like this of the Pontiac G8 on YouTube.

And if you're sick of the Camaro, Mustang, Hyundai Genesis and other car updates then maybe you should just scroll over these posts instead of whining about it in every one of them.
