Chevy announces Bumblebee edition

It is available to order June 1, production June 24 thru December, it is Rally Yellow so no custom paint. Badging on wheel centers, sill plates and embroidered console lid, available LT or SS. Thats as much as I can remember from the broadcast.

I wonder if it will have the new front fascia featured in the 2nd movie or remain the same as the current 5th gen... My thoughts are autobot logos on the hubs, door sill and below the side badging, racing stripes down past the end of the hood and what was previously mentioned.

Not much to jump on. A yellow SS w/ 1" wheel center caps

I wonder what ever happened w/ those Transformer cars that GM was giving away that we had to register for to win?

They were announced. Someone had posted on Camaro5 about it. All three were in the states, never heard much else beyond that.

Yea he is on the other board. I guess he wanted to sell it because he didn't or couldn't pay the taxes on it being income. We're wondering how this will deflate the value of his ebay auction for the car if people can go out and order their own on 6/1.

The upside of his is that it has identical paint, not Rally Yellow...

They're not making a separate colour for it; GM will be using the existing Rally Yellow as mentioned earlier. My gripe is that I need to rethink my decision of IOM with White stripes and the orange accent package, to no fault of GM.

This is as dumb as the Phillies/Mets edition cars. What is GM trying to do, turn the Camaro into the Mustang or Miata with all these special editions. I didn't read anything about making it look like the new movie car. At the very least offer the right color instead of the same yellow that comes on the regular version. I am all for them selling as many cars as possible, and understand that this may help, but it yet again seems as if GM took the easy way out.

I'd stick with the IOM/IOA and white stripes! That color is amazing on this car.

I like choices. The more the better. The main reason I live in this country. And,as a consumer the more choices there are the fewer cars like mine I'll see on the road.
