I think they're further along in their design than we think. With how long it takes things to go through the system, I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that they started drawing sketches of the 6th gen in 2010. I would be really surprised if there aren't clay models out there already approved. Keep in mind, in 2005 the Camaro faithful were drooling over a PDF file which was publicly posted on Canada's trade website which named the Camaro as a future export. At that time, it was still a mystery because the concept hadn't been unveiled.

That said - I don't think anything has been "pushed back" per say, as it seems the timing has always been rumored to be what we're hearing.
