\nAutoblog reader Joe Lopez spied what looked to be a Chevrolet Camaro<\/a> Convertible prototype out on the street. Jazzed about his sighting, he trailed the car as it pulled into a local Detroit-area Target store. Camera in hand, he moved in for pics. That’s likely when the sheer horror of the situation before him struck with the force of a Toyota Prius<\/a> driven by Jim Sikes.<\/p>\n

This was no Camaro Convertible<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Someone had done the unthinkable (and yet, at the same time, inevitable): They had fitted a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro<\/a> LS with a fabric mock top. Joe’s no dummy. He took the photos anyway, and posted them on his blog, 5thGenCamaro<\/a>. Then he emailed us, so here we are. <\/p>\n

As we all know, tastes vary. That established, in our books, at least, mock tops are only moderately less revolting than the ill-advised landau roof<\/a>. As you can see, this is one of the more super-classy installations, including false roof bows and a ring of tonneau snaps – because those<\/em> really scream modernity. The shark fin roof antenna poking through the fabric is the proverbial cherry atop this turd sundae. <\/p>\n

As you’ll see in the gallery below, there’s a real convertible – a Chrysler Sebring – parked to the Camaro’s right. We believe we can confidently say that this is the only time a Chrysler Sebring actually looks better to us than a new Chevy Camaro. And that, friends, is frightening. If it were a Buick Lacrosse<\/a> – even the new one<\/a> – we probably wouldn’t care. It’d almost… belong. But this? Who does<\/em> this? Click on the gallery below, then avert your eyes. Thanks for the indigestion<\/strike> pics, Joe!<\/em><\/p>\n
