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.

  • Ronin It's one thing to stay tried and true to loyal past customers; you'll ensure a stream of revenue from your installed base- maybe every several years or so.It's another to attract net-new customers, who are dazzled by so many other attractive offerings that have more cargo capacity than that high-floored 4-Runner bed, and are not so scrunched in scrunchy front seats.Like with the FJ Cruiser: don't bother to update it, thereby saving money while explaining customers like it that way, all the way into oblivion. Not recognizing some customers like to actually have right rear visibility in their SUVs.

  • 3-On-The-Tree Son has a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and I have a 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 6spd. And on paper they are pretty close.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.
