You can't truly call yourself a diehard fan of the Transformers films until you are riding around in the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers edition. Chevy is planning on releasing a limited-edition set of Camaros that will be designed to look like the now-iconic autobot Bumblebee.
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers edition sports autobot badges on its fenders and black racing stripes. The ride comes standard with 20-inch wheels, with autobot center caps that can be upgraded to 21-inch wheels if you're a stickler for details. Inside the car, the interior is all-black with yellow accents and autobot logos on the headrests. If you absolutely need to get your hands on this car, Chevy dealers will start taking orders in July, with cars expected to arrive on lots this fall. The price for all this goodness is an additional $3,000 on top of the price of a 2LT or 2SS Camaro. True fans don't worry about price tags.
