This is one sleek looking car. According to multiple sources, it is due out in Spring of 2009 (~March) as a 2010 year model.
From http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2010-chevrolet-camaro.htm
Also per ponycar tradition, the new Camaros will offer at least one budget-friendly V6 and one performance-oriented V8. Models using the V6 will employ GM's newer 3.6-liter twincam design with direct injection, as found in the Cadillac CTS. The V8, as on the concepts, should be the 6.0-liter base-Corvette engine equipped with GM's gas-saving Active Fuel Management cylinder-deactivation. If gas prices keep rising, GM's Bob Lutz has suggested the company may look at powering the Camaro with turbocharged 4-cylinder engines. Chevy may also offer a lower-power, lower-cost V-8, as Mustang does. All Camaro engines should team with six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmissions.
The convertible should be due out within the model year of the coupe:

What I'm most interested in is the price. From the same website:
2010 Chevrolet Camaro Prices: They're a bit hard to predict, what with an on-sale date nearly a year away. But GM has said Camaro will be a premium car, and it won't compete with the Ford Mustang on price. Our guesstimate: The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V6 coupe will start around $22,000 with the V8 model around $28,000. Convertibles will likely start at around $28,000 for a V6 model and range up to $35,000 for a V8.
Yet on wikipedia you can find:
Pricing has not been officially announced yet, however, GM has stated that it will be competitive with the Ford Mustang.
Does anyone have an idea as to whether or not Ford has announced if the Camaro is going to compete with the Mustang? I'm seriously considering a Mustang and this is giving me pause...

Lol? Let's compare the v6 models. Mustang starts at 19.5k but realistically is low 20s. They can start up until 20-21k to compete I'd guess.

Yeah the proportions of grille/headlamps to the hood/bumper seem... off.
Like it's squinting.

I think I like that narrow look to it. Of course, the car could look somewhat different when it's actually produced, so you can keep your fingers crossed if you like (I'm guessing the mirrors will get a bit bigger for one).

The front looks really bad, but otherwise looks pretty sweet. I'd still take a Mustang over it, though.
|
I really like it.
It's very american.

Haha I just noticed those ridiculous mirrors.
Yeah, I'd prefer the Mustang as well. But who knowwwws
|
I guess its kinda sleek, in a robust way. I prefer the older gen of Camaros though; this one reminds me too much of the Mustang
|
The car looks pretty sick, excluding the retarded mirrors. Maybe you can get them changed?
|
We will be making the radiator support for this car at work. 
We already make it for the Chevy Impalla and that is produced in Oshawa which is were the Camaro will be made too.
|
It looks a lot like the Charger or whatever it's called imo.

If a Jaguar is your dream car you need to sort out your priorities decaf.
Don't tell me I'm the only one who thinks the new Jags, while an improvement, are still ugly as butt. Give me an Aston any day of the week.
Also Camaro ftw.

Jags are owned by some gimp Indian company now. TO hell with them. Tata, is it?
I have no idea who has Aston now, since Ford sold them - I hear some murmurs about assocation with Prodrive, but I haven't been keeping up.
Astons are nice, even if they're crap cars compared to the German and Italian competitors. They just look so pretty.

mustang all the way, baby! this one looks too squashed and heavy at the same time, IMO.

1.6l Nissan Note 135 000 kr (22 500$)

haha USA cars are so cheap ~~
I'm rather happy; I have no idea what my car would cost in various European countries but I'm sure it's rather a lot.

Fix the mirrors and more people will consider leasing one.

I'm sure they wil fix the mirrors. If my understanding is correct, cars often have special mirrors during the concept period, which are made more practical during the production of the first line of cars.

oh its not my dream car overall, i've just wanted one for a long time for some reason and checked the price because it was on the same page as the mustang.
p.s. fuck the indians  ( Oh well jaguar was just a gaping trench that Ford was pouring money into and getting little in return. Was much more sad to see aston martin go :/ (if i had 900 million i totally would have bought it )
