The "Fifty" badge and the orange threw me a bit at first but it's growing on me and I'm just about sold on it. I've been telling myself and all who would listen that I wouldn't consider getting a 6th Gen until they announced the 50th anniversary edition and now it's here so that means it's time to start thinking.
Speaking of which, when they say "available summer 2016" is that meant to indicate when ordering can start or when they'll be on lots? I have a 2012 1LT RS now and I'm thinking trade in, possibly even for a 2SS this time. Just curious when I should start bugging dealers.

The thing killing me is my 2010 is completely paid off and not having a car payment is very nice. What to do, what to do? I think my desire for a new car will get me into one of these. |

I think I'd like a 2SS 50th with 8-speed auto and moon roof options and I'd be a happy camper. So do we know if "available summer" means that's when we can expect to get pricing info and be able to order or is that when they'll be ready and ordering would start sooner? I've never actually ordered a car before so I'm not clear on how much the experience differs from the normal dealership runaround but it sounds like something I'd like to do.

I am disappointed no zl1 and only Gray color. I was hoping for a Hyper Blue ZL1 50th.

I find it underwhelming and it's a disappointingly lazy effort for the 50th anniversary.

I'm liking the 50th. I hope it's not too expensive of an option. I would guess $1500-2000. As soon as they can be ordered I'm putting a deposit down.

I don't think anybody pointed this out yet in all 10 pages of this thread, but the grill insert is exactly the same as what was shown at SEMA last year. They also share blacked out SS emblems. I guess it's not too uncommon to see SEMA parts end up re-used on production vehicles for totally different purposes, like the 2010 Camaro "SSX" wheels that ended up showing up 2 years later on the ZL1.
Too bad they didn't decide to use the blade spoiler and side skirts too. |

--------------------- I can understand those that might be a bit underwhelmed here but as far as I'm aware, the anniversary editions have generally always been essentially a trim package or at least the 45th was. Only one color option on that one too, carbon flash metallic, and it also wasn't available on the ZL1 either. They really can't include a whole lot more without the package price going way north of where we're thinking it will be. Don't forget at least this time all 2017 models will have a 50th logo on the steering wheel so they will all be at least a little special. Though if that drops an SS logo or something that might otherwise be there, some folks won't be pleased but you can't please everyone.

When has any anniversary Camaro had a power increase? All been graphics and stripes.
I do think maybe a white pearl paint with higher orange would've been cool -

+1, assuming you meant 'hugger' orange stripes. Diamond White Tintcoat would have been great, too.

Any pics of the interior yet? I like the wheels much better on this than on the regular SS.
