2010 Camaro
The comeback
On sale April 2009 — a retro concept made real, with a movie-star head start.
Camaro returned as a 2010 model on GM's Zeta platform, closely following a 2006 concept (designed under Bob Boniface) that referenced the 1969 car. Director Michael Bay had already made the unreleased concept “Bumblebee” in the 2007 Transformers film, delivering a measurable sales bump before the real car shipped. Roughly 80,000 sold in 2010.
