Default Camaro Transformers Edition

Well in keeping with the lackadaisical tradition of old GM, New GM is starting to make useless crap too.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/22/2...camaro-unveiled/

So for what I'm sure will be an astronomical price you get the exact same Camaro with some badges. No new body panels, to performance upgrades, no suspention upgrades. Just a shameless movie plug... Awesome.

So now, not only can Camaro owners be called toothless, mullet head, meth head, rednecks. We can now be called, toothless, mullet head, meth head, nerd, rednecks.

I'm guessing they are doing the Bumblebee appearance package from the 1st movie, not Transformers 2.

Yet the most important thing is wrong....the Stripes. Bumblebees stripes go down on to the front end and wrap around the faux scoop. They don't end on the hood! They could have at least done the stripes right and that would have made a world of difference.

Ah well, makes my buddies, Scott and Selena with their Bumblebee are more exact in the reproduction.

I think it would look better if it didn't say transformers anywhere on the car, but I still like it. Would I buy it No..........

Agreed. The Transformers logos in the stripes are especially lame. If I wanted a Bumblebee look-alike, I'd do it myself.

Blame Hasbro for that. It was part of the deal to let them use the autobot logo and sell it as a Transformers Bumblebee package.
