Would a Cobalt have been better? :grin:

As for Bays comment about the classic Camaro being perfect for BB with nothing coming close, well, not to nitpick, but the Trans-Am for that year was the same thing with a pointer front.

Sorry, had to say it.

However, my first car was a beat up old Camaro that looked just like BumbleBee, I'm gonna have to paint him white.


Actually, it says he spotted the classic lines of the new Camaro, of which there aren't any plans for a Firebird/Trans Am version.

Awww, I posted this before and got no credit :(

Anyhow, Im pretty sure that line about the Camaro is Bay doing some solid marketing.

As far as promotions, I think theres rumors of being able to get the movie edition camaro in yellow/black with the autobot symbols from the factory.

*sigh*

What Michael Bay means is that for the character the writers had scripted for Bumblebee's role, the Camaro was the perfect fit. He was not saying, "OMG that Camaro looks just like a VW bug!"
