It's been two weeks since we've found new spy shots of uncovered Chevy Camaro prototypes, but the enthusiasts over at Canaro5 (photos were first on CamaroZ28.com) have released 17 new pics of the pony car with a bow-tie. The photos have a February time-stamp and are taken from the same location as the last spy shots we published, but there are plenty of close-ups and new angles this time around.
While some details like headlights and some trim components are not production-ready, the sheet metal is pretty much 100% authentic, and looking pretty damn good if we may be so bold. The side view of the Camaro pictured above is just dead-sexy, and in Ebony this fine filly looks like it can eat lesser transportation for breakfast. It's nice to see a prototype roaming public streets without the hideous camo, and crisp photos and accommodating engineers are a lot better than what we've seen in the past. The only bad part is that we have to wait it out for another year before the 2010 Camaro hits dealer showrooms. We've posted six pics in the gallery below, or you can follow the link below to see all 17 photos on CamaroZ28.com.

It's slowly growing on me... the side profile is nice. I'm still holding off judgement until its out and I can see it in the flesh.

i want to see the final version already

White Camaro has 1.8 liter four cylinder with no turbo ( RS model ), and the black one has a turbo charged 2.0 EcoTech ( known as the SS "Maximum Bob special edition" ). Neither can put over 200 hp on a chassis dyno. Sad.

What's the word on a direct-injection 6-pot?
Harry Ariola @ Mar 26th 2008 12:38PM
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but how do you know exactly what engines are in these test mules?
Matt Keller @ Mar 26th 2008 2:53PM
Because he's a dick who thinks he's funny?
Dude @ Mar 26th 2008 9:14AM
Nice to see that they kept the side windows frameless.
Looks soooo much better that way.
*cough cough* Subaru

ok, i hope those headlights are not production intent
the exterior is what it is meant to be (like it or not), a muscle car
but I hope those interior shots do not entail the slightest hint of what it will be in prduction
so hopefully it'll convert to a nice piece once hte dust settles

I like the look of the headlights. Kinda aggressive. But I agree with you 100% on the interior.

I don't know. In the main picture, the rear fenders look like something that Car Craft would do on an old camaro to fit 3" wider tires on the back. It looks interesting, just not what you might call "production." Besides, if I want a big, heavy, powerful car I'll just go for the G8 GXP...
Jimbo @ Mar 26th 2008 9:42AM
I'm liking the black ones a lot. Did anyone else notice the foreign-market white Chevy Lumina (rebadged G8) sitting right beside the Camaros? It can be seen more clearly in the photos on Camaro5.com. Possibly an Impala mule?
iSpec @ Mar 26th 2008 9:50AM
Someone get a detailer out there to do those tires?!!! That ain't right!!!!

It's really grown on me since the concept debuted, but my problem remains; like my concern with the Challenger, I wonder what happens to its "retro appeal" when this car becomes common (see also: PT Cruiser, HHR, New Beetle).
Despite never being a Ford guy, the neo-Stang still looks great to me, because it's based on a truly fantastic car. The first-gen f-body cars are nice looking (my first ride was a '68 Firebird), but were very short-lived (three production years), and nowhere near as iconic as the Mustang. I see an old Stang, I think "beautiful, classic." I see an old Camaro, I think "wow, old. Wonder if the motor's stock..."
Jury'll be out until they've been on the market a couple of years. Could go either way.

Doesn't have that retro look, the back looks like a bloated corvette and the front needs work, just hope they don't use the dash from the spy pics.
Mike @ Mar 26th 2008 9:58AM
Looks fat.
Noah @ Mar 26th 2008 10:11AM
If these pics of Camaros are coming in every other day, and nothing is new, why even post anymore?
FThorn @ Mar 26th 2008 10:33AM
I have to say that I personally agree with this point.
PAT @ Mar 26th 2008 10:12AM
Not much to say anymore, with pics every other week, but they definately need to polish up that grill area. I think it may look a little bloated because of the photos. Having seen it at auto shows, the lines are actually quite crisp and complimentary.

I'm sorry, but I cannot understand the disconnect between the engineers and styling. The high beltline is ugly and the car looks as though it weighs 4000 pounds. Where is the lithe and agile shapes that a 200hp 4 banger would accelerate at a very respectable clip? Eventually the market and the EPA together will force these changes. Why not-for once- be ahead of the curve? It isn't impossible. If GM or Ford built a Lotus, at, say, a 50,000 per year sales clip, are you telling me they couldn't make money at $20,000? Someone needs to come out of the ether in Detroit, or they're going to leave the longest-lasting legacy the car business has ever seen- no more domestics.
TriShield @ Mar 26th 2008 11:06AM
david, go buy something else. Cars like the Camaro are not for you.
GM makes plenty of littled turbocharged four cylinder buzzbombs you can buy now like the Solstice, Sky, HHR SS, and Cobalt SS.
