"  UPDATE (5:45 EST): We just got back from GM&amp;#039;s West Coast unveiling, where we shot the first live pics of the 2010 Chevy Camaro in yellow. So scroll down for all the mouth-watering photos you can handle, then revel in a couple of finalized specs: The V6 now makes 304 hp and delivers 27 miles per gallon on the highway; the L99 V8 with automatic transmission will hit 396 hp; and production will officially begin February 16, 2009. Hallelujah!  LOS ANGELES \u2014 This afternoon at its design center here, GM unveiled the production version of its highly anticipated new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. When it debuted back at the 2006 Detroit auto show, the Chevy Camaro concept made fans salivate for the fifth generation of this classic vehicle. After all, Chevy hasn&amp;#039;t had a Camaro in dealerships since fourth-gen production ended back in 2002. But this new one was different. Like its competition did with the new Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, GM decided to borrow some styling cues from the past\u2014the 1969 Camaro, in this case.  But would the retro design translate from concept to production? Or would Chevy water down the package for public consumption? Well, one look at these photos should answer those questions. The Camaro is a stunner. In fact, we think it looks even better than the concept.  Under the hood, the LS and LT Camaros will come with GM&amp;#039;s 3.6-liter, direct-injected V6 with an estimated 300 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque paired to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. But the one for real gearheads is the SS. For those that like to shift themselves, the nearly 3800-pound Camaro SS gets a TR6060 six-speed manual backing a 422 hp, 6.2-liter LS3 V8 borrowed from the Corvette that generates 408 lb.-ft. of torque. Automatic equipped SS Camaros get 400 hp and 395 lb.-ft. of torque rated at L99 V8, based on the LS3, with GM&amp;#039;s Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation system.   The new Camaro has the same wonderful rear-drive chassis as the new 2008 Pontiac G8. So backroad hustling should be a whole lot of fun. The LS and LT models will have GM&amp;#039;s FE2 mid range sport suspension calibration while the SS will come with the firmer FE3 performance grade with a lowered ride height, too. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on all models as is ABS. The SS models get larger rotors and beefy four piston Brembo calipers.  Inside, the Camaro comes with a cool retro interior with six standard airbags. Options will include ambient lighting using LED light pipe technology, Bluetooth, a Boston Acoustics premium audio package and more. An RS package will be available on the LT and LS Camaros as well, with HID headlamps, spoiler, specific taillamps and 20-in. wheels.  The Camaro will go on sale in early 2009. But we should have a full drive report before then, so stay tuned      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
