You're both right.

From the IMDb:
Bumblebee's classic alternate mode was a Volkswagen Beetle, but this was changed to a Camaro. This was because Michael Bay wanted to avoid comparisons with Herbie the Love Bug. Volkswagen has also refused all requests by Hasbro for permission to use the Beetle, or any vehicle, for Transformers, the former not wishing for their products to be associated with war, real or imagined.
