I saw a new Camaro on the road today!

My roommate witnessed it as well. It was coming in the opposite direction and I thought to myself "that looks like a new Challenger" but as it got closer I could see a big *** gold bow tie on the front. It was red with silver/aluminum wheels (not sure what options are available) It had blue Michigan plates on it. It sounded nice

Are these being sold already?

No, they are not being sold. Production begins feb 16th I think.

If you ask a guy I know, he has already seen them on the lots.

****ing awesome! In person is the absolute best way to see a new Chevy. I like the slow roll, but wow that's pretty badass! I can't wait to see it in all the other colors. I get so excited, it's like my superbowl.

Eh, I won't call BS for a couple of reasons. One, there have been a lot of sightings all over the place. Two, you're close enough to Michigan that it's easily believable that you'd see one out for a test run.

There's one in my dad's garage. He knows a guy and got it early if he promised not to drive it until they go on sale.

Haha...right.

Pre-production cars have been on the roads for months (seasons...) now. At least if you live in metro Detroit

It was a captive test fleet car. The guy and his wife drove it out to the West Coast and back to Michigan, I think they arrived back home yesterday or the day before. I think it's the third Camaro off the pre-production line.

His name is Jim and they call him number 3. I think the car was production number 33

technically they are being sold already. these ones, however, are test vehicles.
