The 5th Gen Camaro Concept debuted in 2005 at Detroit. It was one of three concepts that Bob Lutz muscled through the GM Concept Vehicle process that eventually made it to production. The other two were the Solstice and the Volt. All three were threatened with cancellation several times throughout the development process, but Lutz pretty much bullied them through to production.
Camaro and Solstice arrived very similar to the concepts. Volt looked a lot different than the concept, mainly for aero reasons. When the concept was put in the wind tunnel after it was shown at the show, the wind tunnel operators thought the designers had put the car in the tunnel backward as a joke. That's how bad the aero numbers were for the concept.
