Camaro to go naked

Looks like Camaro fans will get a treat as Bob Lutz has issued a proclamation that all future pre-production camaro tests will occur sans any camo. Apparently the camo hurts the engine cooling and aerodynamic efficiency. So all you budding spy photographers, get your cameras ready.
Full story here.
Here's
AutoObserver's take:
GM Takes the Wraps Off the Camaro

The exterior is gorgeous, but have you seen the interior? Not exactly a dream...

People on other forums say the interior looks like a mid 90s Pontiac or Chevy. I wouldnt go that far, but there sure is room for improvement. Given the way GM interiors are now, I'm sure they wont screw up the Camaro.

That thing looks great in white.
The silver paint makes it look trashy.
But the white is great.

Why is everyone oblivious to the fact that the interior we saw was from a test mule and is in no way indicative of the interior we'll see on the production car? People, that interior is about 65% of the way done. Would you look at a clay model of a concept car and complain that making a car out of clay is stupid? Of course not. Then why complain about a taped together generic auto-parts store interior on a test mule? Sigh.

Kind of tame for a Camaro. The concept came off WAAAY more edgy and aggressive, the one in the pic looks a bit dull by comparison but it is a mule. I think the G8 looks MUCH better!

Well they did intentionally use a photo of a white mule as that dull white tends to dull a lot of the details. A higher-res photo has come out, and when the white is digitally replaced by color, it does look a lot more detailed and edgy, IMHO. Still, on my Camaro fan site, many people were in agreement that this photo definitely changed our distaste for white.
