Just hours ago, spy photographers spotted a prototype of the new Chevrolet Camaro on the back of a transport truck. While the photos gave us our first glimpse at the Camaro’s interior, we also noticed something else very interesting in the shots.
On the back of the transport truck is a Holden Commodore SS wagon wearing camouflage. While the Commodore wagon has yet to hit the Australian market — it has a scheduled launch for the first half of 2008 — its seems a little too close to the model’s launch to still be testing the vehicle.
While it’s possible that this vehicle is just a prototype for the high-performance SS model and will bow shortly after the standard model — as GM does with the CTS and CTS-V — that scenario seems a bit unlikely since the SS sedan model is already on the market.
The more likely possibility is that this is the first prototype seen of the Pontiac-badged Commodore wagon. GM recently confirmed that the U.S. will receive versions of the Commodore wagon and ute — as long as current prices stay relatively flat — and the Commodore-based Pontiac G8 is already bound for our shores. The front bumper of the prototype looks to be slightly revised from the one seen on the SS sedan and could be the result of different U.S. vehicle standards.
Stay tuned as more spy are sure to follow during the development of the G8 wagon.
