Here's what we've come up with so far...

Exterior: Rims (obviously hubs on the orange/yellow one), headlights, foglights/fog housings, turn signals from concept are gone, roof sculpturing is more subtle on orange/yellow one.

Interior: Belt buckles, door panels (now include a handle), shifter, orange/yellow one is an automatic, radios, multiple pieces are now brushed aluminum or painted instead of chrome, center stack's gauges are different, seats are different.

Re: 5th Gen Camaro WILL star in Live Action Transformers Movie

What it looks like to me is that those gauges are the red gauges out of a GTO. My guess is that they built this thing on a GTO chassis, and retained the GTO gauges behind a new bezel that doesn't really fit the gauges.

Also, that console looks a lot like it's got a gear indicator to the left of the shifter, aka it's an automatic trans.

My guess is that they built this out of a new A4 GTO.

Re: 5th Gen Camaro WILL star in Live Action Transformers Movie

Refresh my memory on Transformers. Do actual people drive these cars? Or do the cars drive themselves?

I really enjoyed all the cars in Michael Bay's "The Island", this guy seems to have an affection, or a new found affection for cars that he's chosen to now show on film.

People can drive them, but they are beings from another planet that can alter thier forms..so they can drive without drivers.

Re: 5th Gen Camaro WILL star in Live Action Transformers Movie

So they are kind of mechanical aliens? Do they have bodies, or are they entities that take mechanic form?

People can drive them, but the vehicles themselves are alive.

Yes, the Bay does have a thing for cars...especialy GM's concept cars as they tore the crap out of the Cien concept car in "The Island".
I hope they do the Camaro more justice.

I have a question, and maybe out of the 10 threads going about this it was answered, but how many running Camaro's does GM actualy have? If this is indeed running off what amounts to a reskinned GTO, it still shows that GM is putting a heck of a lot of support behind a car that hasnt officially be approved. You have to figure that GM also has to have a running Camaro for the Power Tour (which btw will be running through my town soon, w00t!!), so that makes 2 running Camaro concepts and the red mock up.

It was said by Scott that GM only has the 2..the silver and the red one..

This yellow one is a GTO done by dreamworks..and there will be no 5th gen on PT..
