Last I heard the camaro was "on hold" again. Mainly due fact that they HAVE to come up with new powerplants for this car as the engine lineup Ford has spec'd out for '08+ V6 all the way up are not only Dominating anything Mopar or GM have to offer as a comparable engine they are flat out humiliating them. Camaro will be on hold again and again. GM introduced the Camaro Late in the Muscle Car wars between Ford and Mopar and once again they are introducing the Camaro LATE in the muscle Wars between Ford and Mopar and they've said that if they don't feel positive about being able to dominate with the Camaro they won't do it.

Late 08 as a 2009
What We Know: In GM Chairman Rick Wagoner's own words from an interview earlier this year, if the company didn't build the Chevy Camaro it would be essentially brain dead. Consider this a sign of life: Production of the new Camaro will start in late 2008, with sales beginning in the first quarter of 2009. Wagoner said the production Camaro will be virtually identical to the concept car. By the time it arrives in showrooms, the retro-look Camaro will be competing against several other latter-day muscle cars, including the reincarnated Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang, including at least two Shelby variants. The 2009 Camaro will feature a traditional front-engine, rear-drive layout, with a fully independent suspension. A variety of trim levels will be available, with a choice of V6 and V8 engines as well as six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The new Camaro will ride on GM's corporate Zeta platform and is expected to be assembled at the company's Oshawa, Ontario plant. As previously reported, much of the engineering for the Camaro will come from Holden, GM's Australian arm. Holden is responsible for developing the next rear-wheel-drive platform, called the Zeta. GM also has key design staff in Australia helping to make sure the production Camaro looks as good as the concept

2009 is the more realistic of the two years. I'm not sure anything has been "officially" announced yet though. Even chevrolet.com doesn't have any info other than the typical concept car write up on what it "should" do when completed. I remember, back when this concept was first unveiled, hearing that it would be a 2009 model released in late 2008, and I haven't heard anything to the contrary yet.
I'd like to see it out in '07 (as a 2008 model), but I can hold my money for another year.
