Mere hours after a new batch of spy showing a camo-covered Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/03/spy-shots-2009-chevy-camaro-caught-with-interior-shots/) hit the interweb, Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper posted a message to the GM Fastlane Blog (http://fastlane.gmblogs.com/)declaring that all pre-production Camaros would be stripped of their camouflage from now until production starts. Apparently, Bob Lutz decided that the camo was causing too much interference with cooling and aerodynamic testing and it needed to come off. Since everyone pretty much knows what the Camaro looks like already, it won't make much difference, but here for your edification is the first official pic direct from GM.

Yeah, they had displays and public unveilings of it several times over, I'm not sure why they even bothered camo'ing it anyway. I mean hell, it was the focused vehicle of last year's blockbuster Transformers.

Maybe it's just my love for white cars - but that looks good.
