Michigan Chevrolet Dealers May Bring Transformers to Fans with Special Edition Bumblebee

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- DETROIT, M.I. – Michigan Chevrolet dealers may have heard the special celebration being delivered by Chevrolet in honor of the newest release of the Transformers saga. With fans around the globe, there is one thing fans in United States, Canada, China, Japan, Europe, South America, and the Middle East can get that no other countries can:
A 2012 Transformers Special Edition Camaro Coupe.
After seven years on hiatus, the fifth-generation Camaro was reintroduced to the public with the first release of Transformers in 2007 and again in the second movie in 2009.
“The Transformers franchise has helped introduce Camaro – and Chevrolet – to a whole new generation of fans,” said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing in a GM press release. “Its role in the films helped make the Camaro the best-selling sports car in America, and one of the best-known cars of any kind around the world.”
The box office hits were enough to boost the popularity of the Camaro right back into the eyes of those fans. The different movies added something new to the fifth-generation’s timeline every year:
•   2009: Yahoo!Autos named the Camaro as the most-searched-vehicle over any other vehicle on the web.
•   2010: The Camaro took the lead in U.S. sport cars over the Ford Mustang for the first time in 24 years.
•   2011: Camaro is still leading the sport car segment with 40,275 units sold compared to 30,206 Mustang units.
In 2012, Michigan Chevrolet dealers will see the introduction of a 550 horsepower Camaro called the ZL1 along with the limited-edition Transformers Special Edition model, which will be available for order this month and arriving at dealerships in September.
Special features of the 2012 Transformers Special Edition, which may be added for an additional $3,000 package, include:
•   being available on the 2LT and 2SS Camaro Coupes, both with Rally Yellow paint
•   featuring black rally stripes that stretch over the hood, roof, decklid and unique high-wing rear spoiler
•   sporting 20-inch, black-painted wheels wrapped in high-performance summer tires
•   mounting Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels
The interior is designed with black leather, accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests and seats. To add to the Autobot shields on the exterior, the logos are also embroidered on the front headrests and center console lid.
Michigan Chevrolet dealers may not see the vehicle until September, but customers don’t need to wait to see Bumblebee as the newest Transformers movie has been officially released.
