After all the teasers, previews, and waiting that we’ve been put through in the run-up to Chevrolet’s debut of the all-new 2016 Camaro, the car unexpectedly mugged for the camera live on this morning’s Squawk Box on CNBC. Never mind that the sixth-generation Camaro was supposed to be revealed tomorrow on Detroit’s Belle Isle at 4 p.m., for whatever reason it was shown completely uncovered on a financial reporting show. No, we don’t get it, either, but at least we can finally show you what the entire car looks like.

Immediately clear is the Camaro’s evolutionary styling. Sure, there are some new LED running lights, a deeper front intake, and slimmer headlights, but overall, the 2016 model appears to be a 7/8ths-scale version of the outgoing fifth-gen car. The size differential is no illusion, as the Camaro transitions to the smaller and lighter Alpha rear-drive architecture that underpins the Cadillac ATS. (The old Camaro sat on a chopped-down Zeta architecture shared with, among other things, the gigantic Chevrolet Caprice police special, the old Pontiac G8, and today’s Chevy SS sedan.) So far, CNBC has only afforded viewers a few glimpses of the 2016 Camaro, so full information is forthcoming.

Beyond the Camaro debut exclusive, CNBC was also treated to at least part of a hot lap of Belle Isle’s Grand Prix course in a V-6–powered 2016 Camaro prototype, which you can watch below. The two biggest surprises? First, that the V-6 sounds positively wicked, and second, that the car GM chose to show off to CNBC was equipped with a stick. Save the Manuals, guys, Save the Manuals. Watch the Camaro lap below, and stay tuned to this space for more Camaro news as it becomes available.
