Default Transformers Movie

I dont know if this is a duplicate post or not because I cant get the search to work but I was out looking for a book and picked up the latest edition of RIDES Magazine because it had a picture of the new Camaro on the cover. I flipped through it and ended up buying it. The magazine informed me that the new Camaro was going to be a bumblebee transformer in the new movie and here is what it also says:

"...you can expect an advertising campaign of immense proportions to strike the states betweem GM and Paramount Pictures, as rumors are running wild that the actual production Camaro based on the Concept Camaro will be unveiled at the movies premier. Yup, that means that Camaros could be hitting showrooms sooner than expected."

Just thought it was interesting and got me excited so I thought it would be good to post the excerpt from the article on here. Mods if this is a duplicate, please feel free to delete.

The shocking thing is that the camaro was made from a GTO and built by Saleen.
Thats what I read in Hot Rod.
It also read that since it went so well that Saleen is consideing making Saleen Camaros along with the saleen mustangs.
