 Camaro convertible prototype coarse and ugly  
 

An image named topdown-camaro2.jpg Autoblog has the first photos of an actual pre-production Camaro 'vert, scheduled to go into production next summer. Originally it was this summer... but supply problems got in the way.

Take a close look at this photo - the A-pillars are *huge*, and just as worse the windshield header is gigantic. And look at the height of the drivers seat - won't many drivers have the header right in their eyes?

And then look at the rear side windows... hopefully those do go down all the way (although they are both down to the same position on each side, suggesting they won't) - otherwise some unlucky passenger is going to get speared in the head.

If all this is true... then this is one lousy convertible. And that's not even counting how much it must weigh. How does a 4200 pound Camaro SS sound? Sounds SLOW to us.
