Production 2010 Chevy Camaro Revealed!

[Engi-Nir]

The Camaro will come in LS, LT and full-on SS specs and be available with 6-speed manual and auto transmissions. Under the bonnet sit fuel-efficient 296bhp 3.6-liter V6 and 416bhp 6.2-liter V8 engines, which can run on fewer cylinders to improve economy.

It shouldn't just be a burnout king either, handling should be pretty good thanks to an all-independent suspension setup and a StabiliTrak stability control system. 4-pot Brembo brakes front and rear shed the speed on the SS. Weight balance is split 52/48 front/rear too, but the Camaro is a porker, weighing in at more than 1,700kgs.

The interior gets cool LED lighting, leather seats on posher models and dials and gauges inspired by 1969 Camaros. The US gets the car in early 2009.

Probably still get 12mpg like my old 1978 Camaro.

Pretty heavy for a RWD coupe.

Camaro might be a heavy car, but its still lighter than the new Challenger which comes in at almost 1900 kg (3700 to 4140 lbs or thereabouts).

I personally like it, but have a feeling this is going to be a fairly polarizing car based on its looks. Hopefully it does well if only because its the only prospect for keeping the Oshawa operation going, allbeit crippled. Its got all the right components to do well, now if only they'll finally put it on sale!

It's not heavy at all for such a large car. The BMW 6 Series is the same size and weighs more. It doesn't weigh much more than a V6 Accord or Camry coupe.

That's actually some pretty decent power out of the V6, I'm suprised. Would've expected something in the low 200's knowing GM. Might be pretty sporty with the V6.

Any word on a price?

1700kg = 3 747lbs
Not bad, the GTO weighed that much..

I wonder if they'll volume the heck out of this like the Mustang? Offer the LNF for the price of the LLT and I'm sure people would buy in this day and age!

Looks like a variant of the high feature V6 from the CTS. That would explain the heavy weight of the car. The old pushrod V6s were smaller and lighter.

The black plastic on the lower rear bumper looks cheap.

Ya, but I dont think continuing the body paneling down there would look any better, in fact I think this looks better, even if somewhat cheap.

Edmunds is saying this thing has the direct injected version of the HF V6...

[at1212b]

I don't think it'll do as well as the Challenger, esp since the Challenger is extremely new and hasn't been out on market in a long time.

It is a nice car though, and even the V6 seems like something ppl would actually want for its performance.

gratz on being ugly

Fuel Efficient V8 engine? ROFL

No wonder NA companies are still epic fail, still don't get the demand just isn't there for that many of these cars, and putting "fuel-efficient" doesn't mean anything...

[Mattones]

Reminds me of a Mustang.

Sure it is, I'm sure the highway numbers are in the mid to high 20s for highway
