Cool 2010 Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro unveiled



Originally Posted by AutoBlog.com
Today at Comic-Con, General Motors officially announced the 2010 Chevy Camaro Transformers Special Edition. The $995 appearance package can be applied to LT (V6) and SS-trim Camaros in Rally Yellow with or without the optional RS package. So, whadda ya get for the dough? It's very straightforward:
  • Autobot insignia fender badges and wheel caps
  • An embroidered Autobot insignia on the center console
  • Gloss-black rally stripes with Transformers logos
  • Transformers-logo doorsill plates
If you were hoping for more, such as the Z/28 fascia and hood, the storm drain-sized exhaust outlets used on Bumblebee in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, or, say, an actual robot mode, you're outta luck. There are no performance upgrades, either -- you'll simply have to make do with the 304, 400, or 426 horsepower that comes standard, depending on which base config you select. If you desperately want your own Bumblebee but are turned off by the whole Transformers brand-mania thing, you can still do the obvious thing and order up a regular Rally Yellow car and simply add plain black rally stripes for $470. We'd do that. Check out the official press release after the jump.

Just wait till someone buys one and take yourself some free emblems with dental floss; you save $1000.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Camaro in the new Transformers lacked that slit on the front of the hood (the one that's crying for a Knight Rider conversion). I thought that one looked better.

Well, I think it is a HUGE step in the right direction on GM's part. Other auto manufacturers do this but GM has always never had the ***** (the told Knight Rider to stop using the words Pontiac and Trans-Am because too many people called asking for a KITT edition...).

Another stripe/decal only 'special edition' from GM...
Only suprise is they don't offer an "Authentic Bumble Bee Air Freshener" rearview mirror hanger opton for 'only' $495.

IMO the only way it will be a transformers edition will be if it has the yellow/orangish paint from the movie and the hood, anything else and its just a yellow camaro. not that its bad, its just not a special edition.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would want a transformer logo on their car aside from a 10 year old boy.
