Would you want to see a Bumblebee edition?

If yes, what would you like to see included with the package? Embroidery on the seats? Logos? Paint? Wheels?

It's gotta have the yellow paint and black stripes. The Autobot logo should be on the wheel center caps and on the headrests. Make the car look as it did in the movie.

He!! No.

Why not make a Sponge Bob square pants edition then? Or how about a Spiderman edition?

I'm dead set against packaging any Camaro after a cartoon.

For what the movie is doing for the car, I think they should have a BB package. Yellow with black stripes. Autobot logo under the words "Camaro" on the front fender. Autobot Logo on the steering wheel. Maybe something stitched into the seats. That would be good enough for me to buy one. Assuming it would be a V8.

Because they didn't make a Sponge Bob Pants movie featuring a Camaro.

While I think this would be great marketing for the camaro, I feel that if they overpackage the car it would force any real camaro enthusiast to feel like they had to purchase this vehicle, as it would be limited production and become a collector's item. I am not a huge fan of the color package but if they were producing this the first year I would feel like I needed to pick one up, as they probably would not keep producing it for multiple years, like the rest of the camaros.

It would be cool to have a special color package that looks like the bumblebee did in the movie - I wouldn't suggest going to much beyond that.

Ditto . Build it, and I may actually buy it!!! I think the yellow w/black stripes looks awesome, and having the Autobot logos would just be "fun"!!

PLEASE NO!

I absolutely LOVE the color scheme, but having a Camaro with a bunch of extra tacky emblems/graphics to be a rolling billboard for a sci-fi movie based on a cheesy 80's cartoon??????

I can't say it strongly enough but:

It doesn't need to be over the top.

A few Autobot logos, like I said, maybe a freer-flowing exhaust to give it a snarl. Has to have the yellow w/ black stripe layout. Make it available on V6 and SS models. Price it $1500 more than the MSRP for those trim levels. It'll sell.

A cartoon name for a cartoon car. Besides, they already had a "Rumble Bee" which is too close for GM to use "Bumblebee" IMO.

No? I'm saying it will ruin the car's image.

Just because little Johnny thinks the movie and the Bumblebee GTO... er Camaro looks cool does not make Johnny's dad rush out to buy one. If they do offer a yellow Camaro with black stripes it should be called "Daytona" yellow and not "Bumblebee" Yellow.

I am not a fan of paint and sticker special editions but this is one I think would be worth offering from a marketing stand point.

The only problem is we don't have a Camaro now and the movie buzz will die down by the time the car comes out.

On the other hand when Transformers 2 comes out it might be wise to make 2000 of them and use them in promotions for the movie.
