The Chevrolet Camaro is an automobile manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand, classified as a pony car and some versions also as a muscle car.

The nameplate was revived again on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro; production started on March 16, 2009. General Motors has made product placement, or embedded marketing, deals for the Chevrolet Camaro in numerous media.The vehicle mode of the fictional character Bumblebee in the 2007 film, Transformers, is first depicted as a 1977 Camaro and later a fifth-generation concept variant. A modified fifth-generation Camaro reprises the role of Bumblebee in the sequels, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
