Question for Red Planet - Autoblog article on other Camaro Concept

RP -

Autoblog had a little article on how there was another Camaro concept that was nixed by Rick Wagoner at the last minute. To quote the article

"Apparently, the NAIAS showstopper was originally destined to be even more of a throwback than it is, but a last-minute Wagoner walkthrough nixed a finished original for mining the nameplate's past a little too closely.

A second design team was brought in under GM's Ed Welburn (VP of global design), and the two combined to create the design that sallied forth earlier this week to great acclaim in Detroit."

Is there any truth to this and what did the "original" look like?

So it sounds like they kinda got the story wrong over at Autoblog.

The jist of the other thread then is that the concept that got scrapped was from a few years ago and really had nothing to do with the current Camaro concept. And that they went off and did the Bel Air instead. Right?
