Well, no production car is going to be exactly like its concept car. By their very nature, a concept car is a work of art. A production car, no matter how beautiful it may be, is a work of engineering. The problem is, even the most practically minded artists are not engineers. And the most aesthetically talented engineers are still not artists. So when artist types do a concept car, even with an eye towards feasibility and working within a number of limits, the engineers still won't be able to make it build-able on a mass production scale (even if its only a few hundred a week). I suppose low-volume manufacturers like Ferarri or Rolls Royce could build a car exactly like a concept if they wanted to, but even then they still have to meet various legal restrictions such as crash standards.


But all that said, if you saw a silver Camaro SS and the 2006 Concept drive by on the road at perhaps 40 mph I bet you (and most of the people on this forum) would have a hard time telling for sure which one was which. Most on Camaro5 would get it right I'm sure, but rarely with 100% certainty. With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if its harder to tell the Eldorado apart from the Elmiraj (well, from the outside at least -I'm sure they're going to be changing that interior)
