I saw a Red Cross blood drive truck get a parking ticket today. It was rather overzealous if you ask me.

@Jim Hubert: This is a testament to how entrenched GM was in its communities in years past. I am nary 20 years old, but growing up in Genesee County, I always wondered how Flint must have been in the decades before. While it's not the same today, the evidence of "GM Money" is everywhere.

I've got one parked in the driveway next to me. They wisened up and moved it into the garage though, so haven't been able to get any pictures or try to carnap it.

@egoods: Looks like a Captured Test Fleet (CTF) sticker on the bottom driver-side corner of the windshield. GM likely wouldn't mod their own vehicles. It seems likely this is a pre-production Camaro convertible to me. We might not see it in dealers for another year or two, though.

Time to switch from Camaro watch to Volt watch... Might take awhile for them to filter up to the Flint area, but you can tell GM still has ties to the area. If you drive around town enough you can see a few Camaros in any given day. Go to the west side of Michigan and I haven't seen any yet in hundreds of miles of…

@Ash78: I'd like to see the one Stateside get the powertrain with the turbo. Make the car exciting, and the buyers will come. The current Saturn Astra is a practical and attractive, yet mundane, model. Same holds true for the similarly priced Pontiac Vibe. The imports have all the weight in the $15-20k market,…

@Van Sarockin: True true. I may not be able to afford a Corvette or a big fancy CTS-V, but it's cars like those that keep my interest in the General's offerings. Give kids (and adults) products to dream about, and that brand recognition lasts for a lifetime.

@derekste: Hey, a lot of kids at school are excited at the chances of a snow day tomorrow. I just tell them to learn how to drive and to deal with it!

@Elhigh: Yeah, I think in the battle of hybrid trio sexiness, round #this-one goes to Detroit.

@Motor_Yakuza: If GM has the cash, they will release some form of Cadillac Voltec car shortly after the Volt. The increased price for the batteries and electric gizmos are less of a big deal for someone in the market for a $50,000 vehicle. Cadillac's target market has more purchasing power for a vehicle like this,…

@Ash78: Indeed. The G5 might be acceptable, after all, even buyers looking for "excitement" might not have the budget to buy a big Detroit V8, but the G3 is ridiculous. The sport truck would have been more performance and brand-oriented than the G3 will ever be. I am hoping the review that cut the G8 ST will also…

@graverobber: An older, drunker, less Canadian version of De...: Yeah, Detroit wins this styling round when the Volt comes out. Beats the Prius and this mish mash.

@J-2-da-B: Dear Jalopnik:

"Once you get on the main drag you can really open it up and watch that speedo creep up towards 30 mph!"

A shiny 2010 Camaro SS. Hmm, but which color...

@RocketScientist: True, if I was Rick Wagoner all that stress, I wouldn't wear a necktie, it's a weapon. You can choke people with it, otherwise it serves no practical purpose besides getting in the way or falling into your food and making you look ridiculous. Or it could be a silk napkin.

@Fourstring85: Mmm give me mine in a coupe with a red tag price of about $10.73.

You forgot about putting on the little antlers and Rudolph reindeer nose so that everyone knows a soccer mom is behind the wheel.
