The 2010 Chevy Camaro - An American Legend Reborn!

The 2010 Chevy Camaro looks to be like a breath of fresh air in the US automobile industry. With a hurricane of publicity around this model, not the least of which was a staring role in the blockbuster movie "Transformers," the excitement level is sky high.

Following the trend of car makers looking back to revive popular past models the 2010 Camaro could prove to be the very best of the "Reborn Muscle Car Movement." Looking at the newest Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger we can see that the public's appetite for nostalgia is strong. Take that nostalgia and mix in modern technology, higher horsepower, better suspension and vastly improved fuel economy and you've got a hit!

A quick look at the initial offering of the new 2010 Camaro model shows that along with the traditional look Chevy is following the classic offering model of a muscle car launch. The 2010 is available in several different variations that differ in appearance, power and price. Chevy has kept its word and kept the production 2010 Camaro very, very close to the concept car that caused such a stir at the 2006 Auto Show. This has kept the Camaro loving public quite happy.

Initially there will be three trim packages, SS, LT and LS, all in a hardtop coupe. Starting out at the base level the LS will be the most affordable version featuring a V-6 producing around 220 horsepower. The LT is the next step up the ladder and will have a beefier 3.5 literV-6 producing a bit more than 300 hp. The monster version is the SS model, with a 6.2 literV-8 pumping out over 400hp. Price ranges are from the low 20's to the mid 30's.

A convertible version of the new Fifth Generation Camaro is planned for the early 2010's as well as a Z28 package. The gear heads out there are drooling on the Z28 as reports show it will have a super-charged 6.2 liter V-8 producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 500hp!

Chevy has packed a few more goodies in the new model as well. As for transmission choices you'll have an option of a six speed manual or a six speed "TAPshift" automatic tranny. Underneath you'll see a 4.5 link independent rear suspension to help get that power to the street. Four wheel disc brakes, a choice of 18, 19, or 20 inch wheels, a choice of ten different colors and a lot more.
