Just like it first did with "official" spy shots of the production Camaro coupe, General Motors has released a pair of small shots showing the production Camaro Convertible in its current state of development. We're told on the GM FastLane Blog that the pics are a reward for the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the first set of shots of the Camaro Coupe, which apparently meant a lot to the team of engineers testing the vehicle. While not much is revealed on these preproduction models that we didn't already know, the second shot shows the convertible's profile with the soft-top up, and it appears that the strong lines of the coupe have not been sacrificed by the retractable roof. Feel free to peruse both pics in our gallery below while we wait for larger ones to pop up.

Good lines, they managed to make the top look fitting. So many convertibles theses days look silly or awkward with the top up.

+1. Very clean lines. This is one sexy ragtop, roof up or down.

Yeah like the VW Eos. I love this car and I want one in white with orange stripes.
Please.

P.S:
autoblog you know I expect you to do a comparison of the Challenger, mustang and camaro when it comes out.

Sorry for riddling your thread with comments. :)

Is it going to be a mechanized ragtop or something along the lines of the Solstice (which makes it virile/an heterosexual man's roadster/allows it to have the weight balance it has)?
why not the LS2LS7? 6:38PM (6/13/2008)
motorized is okay by me.
manual is okay by me.
manual but you have to walk around both sides of the car to put the top up (like on the Sky/Solstice) isn't so okay by me.

Top up = yes. Good looking ragtop.
Top down = no. Dear God no. It looks like a convertible Mustang.

Looks great big surprise. Has there been any clean interior shots posted, other than the spy shots?

It looks so good. This is going to be my weekend car for sure. Why would you buy a 30k Solstice when you could buy this thing?

30K for a solstice? Waht dealer you shopping at, oh wait. You have to have the GXP. Do you think this convertible is going to be 30K with better performance? If so you don't know GM too well do ya. Look what a sebring convertible costs and then look at this, its not going to be cheap.

Not everyone wants a V8 coupe.

Solstice, and Sky for that matter, are useless other than jaunts around the block if you take a passenger. Can't take real trips in one and they are so unrefined compared to Miatas.
why not the LS2LS7? 6:27PM (6/13/2008)
If it's only good for trips of a couple blocks anyway, why do you care if it's unrefined?

As with all pre-production cars, they always have features such as large rims and lowered suspensions that NEVER make it into productions and the result is this.....a car that looks HALF as striking as the one we've been looking at for 5 yrs now.

Just order the big rims and get some lowering springs...
