DETROIT — After numerous sightings of the 2010 Chevy Camaro, GM has now released photos of the upcoming Chevrolet Camaro convertible on its FastLane Blog.
Posted by Chevy VP Ed Peper, the official blog text says the photo is of a preproduction model and that "Actual production models may vary." We're guessing GM is pretty close on at least the final design of the Camaro convertible, given that it's taken it upon itself to leak its own "spy photos."
Like the 2010 Camaro coupe, the Camaro convertible is expected to be outfitted similar to the original Camaro concept, which used an independent rear suspension and a 400-horsepower 6.0-liter V8 mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
The 2010 Camaro coupe is expected to be released in 2009, and Peper says the convertible is being readied for "full production later next year."
What this means to you: No major delay between the coupe and convertible is expected, as GM intends to launch both models in a quick one-two punch. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor
