2016 Chevrolet Camaro Stars In One Of The Strangest Spy Photos Of All Time

Another ordinary day at GM’s proving grounds, right? Well, I’m wondering what the hell a 2016 Camaro mule is doing with a CNG powered Impala.

That little black diamond on the decklid of the white Impala is similar to what you would see on CNG powered vehicles, and GM has a CNG powered Impala in the works.

The rest of the spy photos (from AutoGuide.com) shows a Camaro that retains a familiar profile despite riding on the Alpha platform shared with the Cadillac CTS and ATS. Don’t be surprised if a 2.0T 4-cylinder shows up under the hood either.

    So they went to the TVR Cerbera for some styling inspiration this time around, eh?

    I saw one of these this evening in a surprisingly well-packaged arrangement driving at me down a two lane road near the site of that shot. Being a Camaro pre-production model, it had to be wearing a lycra mesh bra and black Daisy Dukes, but it looked a whole lot smaller, more athletic, and more Mustang-like than the current-generation Camaro that followed it. This one had the same Chevy duck-tail rear as the Impala. I have no idea how it could possibly appeal to the stereotype driving that current-generation Camaro - a balding side mullet and a slack-jawed gaze revealing toothless Meth-mouth just seemed more at home in the overstuffed Transformers prop than in what was looking like an actual sporty compact car.

  • Formula m How many Hyundai and Kia’s do not have the original engine block it left the factory with 10yrs prior?
  • 1995 SC I will say that year 29 has been a little spendy on my car (Motor Mounts, Injectors and a Supercharger Service since it had to come off for the injectors, ABS Pump and the tool to cycle the valves to bleed the system, Front Calipers, rear pinion seal, transmission service with a new pan that has a drain, a gaggle of capacitors to fix the ride control module and a replacement amplifier for the stereo. Still needs an exhaust manifold gasket. The front end got serviced in year 28. On the plus side blank cassettes are increasingly easy to find so I have a solid collection of 90 minute playlists.

In fairness, bigger bills for coolant and tire replacement are coming in year 5.**Includes replacement of all rubber parts, rebuild of entire suspension and steering system, and conversion of car to OEM 16" wheel set, among other things
