The new Camaro is going to start production in about one year, slated to hit the showroom floor first quarter of '09.
The drop top will be brought out later, maybe as a '10.
Since the car will be built on the Zeta platform, Oshawa will also be building 2 and 4 door Chevy versions, as well as Buick and Pontiac variants.
The deal with Steve Saleen was that he was hired to do a GTO for the new movie "Transformers", and since the Camaro will be built on the same platform, GM got him to sign on for a Camaro special edition.
GM has used this same auto-building approach in the past, which in Detroit was called the "Burger King" philosophy, where you get the topping of your choice on the same burger.
Have it your way!
