Very cool idea. I'd get one....

    Who in the world would buy this thing? The Transformers franchise is aimed at like, 10-18 year old boys, none of whom can afford a brand new sports car. I suppose there are some adults who have a nostalgic love for the series, but I would hope if they have the income that would let them afford a Camaro, they would be smart enough to not want the Transformers badging on it.... This would be like marketing a Pink Corvette convertible with Barbie badging on it to girls, wouldn't it?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I will tell you what, I like the movie and love the car. My love for the car has nothing to do with the movie, except for the fact that I saw it there first. It is a beautiful car (if a chevy can be beautiful :p) and if it wasn't going for $40,000 I MIGHT entertain the thought of someday owning one. But one with Transformers badging? Are you kidding? Not a chance!

    I don't know about the BB package, but the Camaro is about the only new
    car that excites me. If I order one today, it will be thanksgiving before I could get it.

    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Could just be a relative thing; EVERY car in the 60's / 70's was huge, so it looked normal; now most cars are TINY so it dwarfs them all :)

    An extra $1000 for a few badges? No thanks.

    I absolutely love the new Camaro's though. My buddies dad works at a Chevy dealership, and we got to go on a ride in the new Camaro they've got there. It's a fully loaded SS...dark red with black stripes. It's a badass car.

    Whenever I replace my 1990 Firebird...it will probably be with a new Camaro.

    I kinda liked the idea, until I found out the car actually says "Transformers" on the hood and rocker panel.

    went from intriguing to "gheeey" real fast
