2010 Chevy Camaro Convertible -- Click above for high-res image gallery
Camaro5 forum member isszy caught shots of eight freshly minted Camaro convertibles in Australia. Spotted outside the Holden factory in Fisherman's bend, Melbourne, the poster said they all appeared to be left-hand-drive.
The tan-and-silver color combination isn't one we would have thought of – the black-roofed guy at the end is much more like it – but the roofline itself looks very good. The last we were informed by GM, the car should arrive next year as a 2011 model. Hat tip to Tim!

I think the convertible Camaro would look especially nice in its proper state: with the top down.

the tan and silver looks great on Miatas but not as much here. give it a navy top with tan interior and you have a winner. but probably more luxury color combo than sporty.
white with gray is what i want to see.

That looks nice.
I saw a red convertible challenger in the mountains of Colorado last weekend.
It had a black top, black wheels and a detroit license plate.

I absolutely love the tan top on the silver. It's a very cool combination. I personally hate black tops on convertibles. My old Wrangler and my old mustang were both tan tops.. granted, the jeep was tan as well, and the mustang was forest green, but I hate hate hate hate hate black convertible tops.

usually a black convertible top is a good sign of a rental car.

Be great to see this car with the top down! Should be good looking.

I hope people realise that the Camero is (pretty much) the all Australian Holden Commodore (Pontiac G8) with another shell on it. I hope it doesn't take out too much structural regidity.
In agreement with Autoblog poster (Jonathon): SILVER WITH LIGHT POO BROWN ROOF :S who in there right mind would by that combo?!
This photo was take only about 30minutes drive from my place maybe I'll go check them out :)

You've been listening to Hamhock. Stop doing that.
The Holden and Camaro are both Zeta platform cars, but the Camaro has enough differences to be more than "...the all Australian Holden Commodore (Pontiac G8) with another shell on it."

I can't believe how many people spell Camaro with an "e'.

Not feeling the cover. Why not a metal retractable top? That brown color is also very ugly.

Don't you think it's fat enough as it is?

Too bad it'll be $35,000+ for the SS model. Maybe in 3-4 years when they're only $20k used I'll grab one, but for now, I'll stick to finding an 04-06 S2K.

Soft top!? Common! Hard-Tops are so much better!

Yeah, if you want your car to be uglier, heavier, and less usable...
ipodrulz 3:03PM (8/26/2009)
I can agree on it being heavier but hard tops looks so much better!

I'm glad to see them get away from the fugly one piece convertible top that was on the old F-Bodies .
Having a small rear side glass gets rid of the blind-spot. Hope it rolls down to make a cool hard-top look with the convertible top up .
