GM's Transforming Cars

It's only fitting that I feature GM vehicles today, on the day they pull out of bankruptcy after only 40 days in the pit. Here's hoping they can get their act together and become a brand we can be proud of again. Rumour has it they'll be changing their name and/or logo, possibly moving it from blue to green. Hopefully they'll do a lot more than that.

If you've seen Transformers 2 and wondered about GM's Chevrolet cars featured in it (as I did), here is what they were....

2010 Camaro (Bumblebee) - already seen on the road
2011 Volt (Jolt) - much anticipated electric car
2012 Spark (Skids and Mudflap) - a mini coming to the U.S. in 2011 (pictured above)

The car I was most curious about was one that looked like a souped up Corvette. I looked it up and sure enough, that's pretty much what it is. The Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Concept (Sideswipe) is influenced by the design of the original Stingray Race Car, which was introduced in the year 1959. It supposedly is not on track to be produced but that's also what they said about the new Camaro, so who knows. The link above has a video review of the concept car.

Here are some videos related to the Camaro's appearance in the movie.
