New MTV commercial with Camaro with weird door locks!

There is a new MTV commercial, has something to do with some elephant show.

It's a red RS I think, with T-tops. When they sho an inside shot, it has the push down pole kinda door locks, near the back of the door! Are there any Camaro's with this?

Now Wendy's has a commercal out where the actress goes to Wendy's in what appears to be an early to mid 80's Sport Coupe, could be an RS also, tough to tell the year.

Looks like third gen's are making a come back!

The Camaro in the Best Buy commercial and the one in the MTV commercial look almost the same... what color is the one in the Wendy's commercial? I wonder if it's one famous Camaro!

I remember one where they jumped them off a ramp onto piles of boxes, and one where they drove it under a tractor trailer. In both shows the car was yellow.

The Wendy's Camaro is light metallic blue which makes me think it's an early 80's Sport Coupe. Doesn't have T-Tops either. It's tough to tell because they never show much of the car. You can tell it's an SC by the steering wheel.

I had that wheel stock in my 84 Z28!

But the Wendy's one doesn't have ground effects, so I would have to go with SC as well.

Yup, most any stunt that requires a car uses 2nd or 3rdgen camaros. Producer must have something against them
