Sangyup Lee, the Korean-born designer who drew up the latest Camaro is leaving the company to become chief exterior designer at Volkswagen's west coast design studio. Lee worked at General Motors for 10 years and is responsible for several interesting concepts like the Buick Velite and Chevrolet Stingray.

According to the New York Times, Mr. Lee's experience bringing his Camaro design to production was not always easy. "Every fraction of an inch of hood and roof height was an occasion for battles with the engineers," Lee noted. Sounds like fun.
