Camaro to be 2010 model, not 2009 technically

From autoblog

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/c...odel-not-2009/

Car should arrive on spring of 2009 and be called a 2010 model.

Since there is a new countdown for the transformers 2 movie being released in june next year, maybe that has something to do with it, but who knows, either way, next year is the year

Most people here already know that it has always been that way. People are saying "why are they delaying it further?". It is not being delayed, it is just a clarification of both the model year and the release year, which is unchanged.

Again, most here already knew this a long time ago, but for those who didn't...

The subforums have said "2010 Camaro" for quite a while now. This is old news.

Not a big deal. Model year doesn't matter much. But perhaps this will shut up all the "It's being delayed ANOTHER year" people...

I remember a few years ago on this forum, when a lot of speculation was up in the air, we knew something was coming and we knew more than likely it was going to be a Camaro, I remember a lot of people saying I can't wait to have a 2007 40th Anniversary Camaro in my driveway. I remember saying there is no way, we are looking at 2009-2010 or later. Kind of funny now looking back at all the nay sayers. One thing is for sure time went by quick.

Switcheroo: 2009 Camaro will actually be a 2010 model

Switcheroo: 2009 Camaro will actually be a 2010 model
March 12, 02:55pm EDT


While the Chevrolet Camaro program is clearly well on its way, General Motors has officially announced that the launch of the next-generation muscle car will be slightly delayed. While some reports had the 2009 Camaro entering production as early as late 2008, GM says the Camaro will actually be launched as a 2010 model in the spring of 2009, confirming what Leftlane sources have known for sometime.

According to Ward's, the slight change was made because GM didn't want a short model run of 2009 vehicles. Instead, the 2010 Camaro will hit dealer showrooms in the spring of 2009, with the convertible following later in 2009, also as a 2010 model.

GM expects to begin taking dealer orders later this year, but has yet to set a specific date. Both the coupe and convertible will be powered by a range of V6 and V8 engines, with the range-topping model rumored to have over 450 horsepower.

Once production of the Camaro finally does begin at the automaker's Oshawa, ON production facility, GM expects to sell about 100,000 Camaros annually.

Blah Blah Blah..........nothing we haven't already known for about, mmmmmm at least 6 months........ Why even bother posting such an article????? I wish the editors of those webistes would do a little more research instead of trying to make a story out of old news.......

BTW: I had never heard of the 5th gen hitting showrooms any earlier than Spring 2009....... As far as I know, that has always been the targeted arrival date???
