NEWS: F-Bodfather Speaks with FACTS!
Scott addresses some recent issues!

......Did you ever find yourself wanting to own a replica of 'Bumblebee?'
You could be one of three lucky winners! Yes -- they'll be production Camaros -- and yes, they'll be painted in that special color that Bumblebee wears.
Simply go to www.chevy.com/camaro to sign up!
Also -- you'll want to visit www.chevynation.com
Once there, click on "Chevy Club House" -- and then click on the Silver Camaro Concept........ then click on "Camaro Now" --
Each month we'll be posting 'stuff' that you won't want to miss. Now -- don't expect to find a complete order guide and glossy color photos of the new Camaro ...............................yet!............. But we'll be updating each month - and you do NOT want to miss November.
Finally -- a word about the recent blogs out there --
Yes-- the Camaro will have a key. (versus pushbutton start)
Yes -- it will be a model year 2010 -- but we have not moved the 'start-up' date. We'll start building Camaros in the 4th quarter of 2008 -- and they'll be in dealerships in the first quarter of 2009.
Yes - the new Camaro will have a B-pillar. BUT - it isn't noticable from the outside. Think of a first gen with the rear window in the up position. The rear window will cover the B-pillar and there will be a weatherstrip attached. The B-pillar is necessary for several reasons -- the most important being:
>reduction of mass
>structural rigidity
.....and, I think we're safe in saying this: The production car is so close to the concept -- that if we were driving down the road in a production Camaro coupe in Silver -- and you passed us going the other way -- you'd swear it was the Silver concept.
The Future just keeps getting brighter and brighter!
Good luck -- and we hope that all three Bumblebee Camaros will go to good homes in the Camaro/Firebird Enthusiast community!

Whew! 
I saw the forum title for the 5th gen had changed to "2010 Camaro Discussion" and just about freaked out.
Glad to hear we'll be able to enjoy the "new car" status for almost 2 full years if we buy in early '09 as a '10 model.
