Who is not sure they're going to produce them? I'd bet money on it right now!

The car generated more buzz than any GM car in the last 20 years, they're working on it as if it were an approved product, and a GM exec was quoted as saying "they'd have to be braindead" not to build it.

It's gonna get built.

They haven't officially announced production yet.
But I would bet 10 years worth of paychecks that it gets built.

Well, I just talked to Scott Settlemire on Sunday, and he didn't seem to be very aware of that confirmation.

The real story on those magazines... they jumped the gun... there has not been any official confirmation of production as of yet, but it's speculated that it will be coming shortly. GM had some other issues to deal with (read: Delphi) before they could formally commit, but the Camaro team is working on the car as if it were approved. There's really not much question at this point that it's going to be, it just has not happened quite yet.

I've been compiling a collection of news articles, press releases, pics, etc, on my 5th gen site, so we can sift out what is truth, what is rumor, and what is fabrication.

My best friend just got a card in the mail from GM about the upcoming zo7- supercharged. and in the card it said the camaro will be out in late 08 as a 09 model. I am gonna have him fax it to me or have him get on here and scan it. I don't know if its true or not, but I would still bet that is when they are planning on coming out with them.

Interesting.
Definitely post it, I doubt that its from GM seeing as neither of those cars have been confirmed yet.

Also, car mags are useless for information anymore, it's been YEARS since I've read a reliable article in a magazine that was related to future vehicles.

this is what i was hoping and figured would be most appropriate. and hopefully a new firebird a few months to years later. i gotta admit, i'm dying for a new firebird i don't think there's a car out there in production right now i like. if a new generation of f-bodies (though they won't be f-bodies anymore...) doesn't come out, i don't know what i'm gonna do after my car gets up in age. i'd hate to buy a ford taurus or something...
