Chevy To Launch Popular Limited Edition BumbleBee Camaro

Diehard Transformers fans take note: Chevrolet is reportedly planning to launch a limited edition Bumblebee Camaro to capitalize on the upcoming flick, Revenge of the Fallen. We're sure none of you saw that coming, right? The car, available with either V6 or V8 power, will be available for order June 1 and the first cars are scheduled to roll down the assembly line on the 24th of that month, which, not coincidentally, is the same day the movie is scheduled for released in the U.S.

Unfortunately, we don't have any images of the new Bumblebee package to show off or pricing information, but rumor has it that the car will be painted up in the same Rally Yellow that's available on other Camaros – importantly, that's not the darker color that's featured in the movies – set off by black racing stripes, of course. To help set the Bumblebee edition apart from its siblings, GM will equip the car with Transformers badging on the wheel centers and sill plates along with an embroidered emblem on the console inside.

It will be like, uh Germany where gas is close to that now. Wow they drive V8 and V12 like they are going out of style.

I Would love to see they Vette in production mold as well. Maybe a independent company could do a limited run of that model. Cool.

GM, you cheap SOBs. Why produce a bumblebee version at all if you're not going to do the one thing that makes the car unique, and give it the correct paintjob? How stupid is that?

You'd have to be a sucker-and-a-half to buy this piece of crap. Clearly GM hasn't learned their lesson yet because they're still being CHEAP.

"Revenge of the Fallen"...seems sort of poetic in this case for GM.

Bumblebee Edition?...Wasn't that a Dodge Coronet Special Edition (Dodge's answer to the Road Runner) in the late 60's/early 70's

Man...Chrysler's Corpse isn't even cold yet...

Dodge had the SuperBee. It takes GM to Bumble.
