Default '09 Camaro Mule spotted in Tampa, FL

My buddy came across this pre-production '09 Camaro over lunch today. Apparently, they brought the car to Florida for some testing in humid climates.

I hope they're not sticking with that fisher price headlight set up. Maybe they have a Polycarbonate shield going over them...I hope. Taillight details and geometry don't look fantastic either. And DAAAAYYYYUMMM did those mirrors grow (as expected for DOT regs). They couldn't figure out a cleaner way to add reverse lights and make them integrated?

Default GM didn't pull there head out far enough

I'm disappointed! That thing is Fugly........... and I don't think it's got a chance of growing on me. What happened to the semi retro 60's look???? Fisher Price it right on target.

alot of the stuff on the car is preproduction and just put on to get the cars on the road. Apparently the lights on the cars are things just taken off the shelf just to put lights on it. So you can't really take much besides the overall shape and design.

Sadly, I have to agree that I'm disappointed with the appearance of this one. Not only are the headlights lame, but the overall dimensions seem out of whack. The car looks bloated, not low and sleek like the original pictures. C'mon GM, get it together.

Edit: On second thought, what do I care? I've still got my '68 and this modern version will never beat the lines of the original.
