Holden is running production-style bodywork instead of the chopped VE Commodores it has been using.
This is the first spy shot of the new-look Camaro after many sightings of the cut-up Commodore.
Matthew Greenway spied the Camaro on Ferntree Gully Rd, Knoxfield, last week. The shot shows that the production car holds true to the concept unveiled at the 2006 Detroit Motor Show.
The vehicle retains the same angular lines and aggressive stance that turned heads at the show and convinced General Motors to rush the car into showrooms.
The Camaro is based on the same platform as the VE Commodore, hence the original test vehicles running with modified two-door Commodore bodywork.
With the Camaro due for release in North America in 2009, testing is being accelerated and sightings of the test mules are increasing around Victorian roads.
According to one reader, the company is testing extensively at night on country roads while finetuning the car's suspension.
General Motors product czar Bob Lutz admits he drove the Camaro at Holden's Lang Lang proving grounds on his trip to Australia in September.
As reported, Holden Racing Team star Mark Skaife was drafted in to aid the development recently at Lang Lang.
Have you spotted the Camaro? What do you think of it?
