New Car Sport and Fast Chevrolet Camaro Review

New Car Sport and Fast Chevrolet CamaroNew Car Sport and Fast Chevrolet Camaro Silver and Black Color

Since General Motors ended production of its convertible Camaro in 2002, enthusiasts have long wanted him to come back, then GM has made good on in 2007 when they announced that the car is, indeed, would be put back into production. All new for 2010, the latest Chevrolet Camaro back and better than before.

I have a few more weeks before my first test drive, so my report is based on seeing the car for a couple of auto shows in Detroit and Los Angeles, communicating with officials who hand Chevrolet in car design, and analysis of company documentation. The newest model is sold in the first four to six months of production, but the test car will be at my dealer over the next few weeks. I'd already planned my first drive.

Prices for the base V6 powered LS Camaro will be $ 22,995, and the engine V8 Camaro SS will sell for $ 30,995. In October 2008, General Motors began taking orders for the car, five months before the production model rolled off the Brampton, Ontario, assembly line.

A high performance Camaro SS with a monstrous 6.2L V8 is also available, yielding 422 horsepower and 408 lb.-feet of torque. That engine is based on the LS3, a powerplant that can be found under the hood of a Corvette.

So if you're looking for the right balance of performance and fuel economy, you'll want to keep the Chevrolet Camaro in mind, a car that competes with the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger in the important pony (muscle) car segment.

Top Luxury Cars | 2011 Chevy Volt - From Show Car to Showroom

The 2007 Chevrolet Volt concept dazzled, even more than General Motors expected. For 2010 production, however, it has to use existing component sets, which naturally make the Volt more mainstream and cheaper to build. The changes also give the car lower drag, more cabin space, and a tighter turning circle. The designer of both vehicles, Bob Boniface, says that concept cars are "not a contract with the general public" and that the commercial product is a much better car. We tend to agree with him. Polarizing design can impress but lose sales. GM needs this car to succeed. So do we all.

From Concept to Production

1 The deeply inset grille and the sharp crease from the lower lamps were terrible for aerodynamics, and the recessed lamps were neither adequate for illumination nor legal.

2 Multiple hard surface-change lines on the front of the concept tended to confuse and retard oncoming air molecules. Smoothing the front end helps aerodynamically and simplifies production.

3 Saab 99-like, the tank-slit wraparound windshield was deemed likely to compete with plans for future Saab products. But GM may sell Saab anyway.

4 The sharp break from windshield to roof was likewise considered too Saab-like, and it was also aerodynamically undesirable, thus the change to uninterrupted flowing glass.

5 Big bulges for oversize - 21-inch - wheels were another drag-increasing styling element that had to go for the production car.

6 The grille shape was retained, but air flows into the engine compartment only through peripheral slots around the grille shield, which retains its diamond texture. Most air enters below the bumper.

7 Headlamps had to be bigger for adequate lighting, and wrapping them around the front end let side markers be incorporated.

8 The impossible-to-clean transparent fairings from the show car have been replaced by painted sheetmetal, which visually extends the height of the side glass.

9 These 17-inch wheels look much like the show car's 21-inch units, but in fact, they have been refined to reduce aerodynamic drag. Small details count when there's not much power available.

10 The continuous sweep of glass from windshield to roof is excellent for aerodynamic drag reduction, but it also gives the car a softer, safer appearance, desirable for a family car.

2010 New Chevrolet Camaro Sports Car UFC Limited Edition

Most great and amazing sport elegant car 2010 Chevrolet Camaro interior design and exterior body kit design that will make you interesting. The UFC sports car maker now a days launched it is teaming up with Findlay Customs and Modern Muscle Las Vegas to release 10 Limited Edition UFC Chevrolet Camaros sports car. UFC, in combination with Findlay Customs and Modern Muscle Las Vegas will build the limited-edition 2010 UFC Camaros sports car complete with 650 Super-charged powerful engine horsepower and one-of-a-kind vehicles features which will create even the most die-hard UFC fan or gear head stand up and get notice.
2010 New Chevrolet Camaro Sports Car UFC Limited Edition
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro sports car looks like a new vehicle, but it was built from existing GM parts from other models. They started with the chassis architecture of the impressive Pontiac G8 and engines from Cadillac and Covette. GM made the new Camaro drop-dead gorgeous, with high performance, and affordable.
The interior of the new Camaro is comfortable and materials are good, but the exterior styling is where it shines. The stitched leather wrap on the steering wheel is nice, and the bucket seats are comfortable, with decent bolstering, but may not be enough to keep an aggressive driver in his or her place during aggressive cornering. 
The front seat slides 8.5 inches, the steering wheel tilts and telescopes, and the seat can be raised up for better visibility, so drivers of all sizes will fit. The excellent leather upholstery is available in black, gray, beige and two-tone Inferno Orange.
The climate control buttons on the center stack didn't seem to be designed for ease of touch, but more for looks, but I have seen worse. Visibility through the windshield is good despite the long hood and raked windshield, thanks to careful location of the driver's seat and the ability to raise it. Rear visibility over the driver's shoulder isn't very good, but then it's impossible to make it good with a chopped roofline that gives it its sporty look.
The new Camaro sports car succeeds for all the reasons to buy this sports car, great looks and styling, a very potent and efficient engine borrowed from Cadillac, great performance and handling, and a good price point. I have test driven the Dodge Challenger SRT8, and the Ford Mustang GT. For my money I would choose the new Camaro sports car.
The first UFC Camaro will be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson's Orange County collector car auction taking place June 25-27 at the OC Fair & Events Center.  The winning bidder will also come away with a UFC experience package that includes an inaugural drive with UFC President Dana White, backstage VIP access to a UFC event, meet and greets with UFC fighters, an autographed OCTOGON book and UFC gear.  
The Camaro is being auctioned for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a charity dedicated to providing financial assistance to dependents of US military personnel lost in the line of duty.

GM Backtracks On Plan To Nix Chevy Nickname [Video]


General Motors Co. on Thursday backed off a "poorly worded" internal memo that asked employees to refer to the brand only as "Chevrolet" -- not its long-standing nickname -- in an effort to create consistency.

In the original memo, employees were discouraged from using the "Chevy" nickname for the Chevrolet brand. GM later issued a statement to clarify the intention of the memo, saying that it was only meant to help establish Chevrolet as a global brand and that employees needed to be more focused in their communications in referencing the brand.

General Motors said " 'Chevy' will continue to reflect the enthusiasm of customers and fans."

The internal memo was part of an effort to develop a consistent brand name as it establishes a significant global presence.

In a video also issued by GM to correct itself, Alan S. Batey, vice president for Chevrolet sales and service, said, "Chevy is our nickname. It comes from selling vehicles here in the U.S. for 100 years. We love it when people call us Chevy." Batey was one of the two GM officials who signed the original memo.

On Facebook, brand pages include Chevy Camaro, Chevy Silverado and Team Chevy.

General Motors also stated that they were reconsidering resurrecting the talifin. A sudden resurgence of the love for the 1959 Chevrolet is rumored to be the reason.





Press Release

Statement on the use of Chevrolet and Chevy

"Chevy" will continue to reflect the enthusiasm of customers and fans

2010-06-10 DETROIT -- Today's emotional debate over a poorly worded memo on our use of the Chevrolet brand is a good reminder of how passionately people feel about Chevrolet. It is a passion we share and one we do not take for granted.

We love Chevy. In no way are we discouraging customers or fans from using the name. We deeply appreciate the emotional connections that millions of people have for Chevrolet and its products.

In global markets, we are establishing a significant presence for Chevrolet, and need to move toward a consistent brand name for advertising and marketing purposes. The memo in question was one step in that process.

We hope people around the world will continue to fall in love with Chevrolets and smile when they call their favorite car, truck or crossover "Chevy."

invested to re-tool the plant and add new, state-of-the-art manufacturing
equipment.

"This investment helps secure the best possible manufacturing footprint to react
to market demand and deliver vehicles faster to our customers," said Campbell.
"We believe Cruze is the right car at the right time for American consumers."


Cruze Eco details


Featuring a 1.4L Ecotec turbocharged engine with variable valve timing, the
Cruze Eco is designed to be the most fuel-efficient model in the lineup,
delivering an estimated 40 mpg on the highway with the standard six-speed manual
transmission. City fuel economy, as well as estimates for the Cruze Eco equipped
with an available six-speed automatic transmission, will be finalized closer to
launch.

The Eco achieves greater fuel economy using a number of features that enhance
its aerodynamics, minimize weight and reduce rolling resistance. Details
include:

* A lower front grille air shutter that closes at higher speeds to improve
aerodynamics and opens at lower speeds to optimize engine-cooling airflow

* The upper grille has more "closeouts" to improve aerodynamics

* A lower front air dam extension, extensive use of underbody panels and a rear
spoiler enhance aerodynamics

* A lowered ride height improves aerodynamics

* Unique 17-inch lightweight aluminum wheels

* Ultra-low rolling resistance 17-inch Goodyear tires.

The axle ratio on the manual-transmission model is also optimized for fuel
economy, while helping the car deliver confident performance. Chevrolet
estimates the Cruze Eco will deliver 0-60 mph performance of about 10 seconds
with the manual transmission and 9 seconds with the six-speed automatic.

The Cruze Eco will be available in the fourth quarter of 2010.


Cruze RS details


Complementing Cruze's sporty proportions is an optional RS appearance package
for the LT and LTZ trim levels, which bolsters the car's styling with unique
fascias, rocker moldings, rear spoiler and fog lamps. An uplevel instrument
cluster is also part of the package and includes chrome accent rings in place of
the standard silver finish, as well as opaque cluster bezels that allow the
cluster's ice blue backlighting to shine through – providing a sporty nighttime
appearance.

"For customers who want even more personality and presence in their vehicle, the
RS appearance package builds on the already bold face and coupe-like proportions
of the Cruze," said Michael Simcoe, executive director, North American Exterior
Design.

Midsize presence in the compact segment

All Cruze models offer the spaciousness and amenities of a midsize car, combined
with segment-leading features and details that challenge preconceived notions
about what a compact car can be in North America.

Along with the Eco, the 2011 Cruze will be offered in LS, LT and LTZ trims.
Standard and available equipment includes:

* Ten standard air bags, including frontal, front-seat side-impact air bags,
roof rail head curtain, rear-seat side air bags and new front knee air bags

* Bluetooth, USB connectivity, XM Satellite Radio and navigation system

* Standard OnStar with one year of Directions and Connections service

* MacPherson strut front suspension and Z-link rear suspension, with 16-, 17-
and 18-inch wheels

* Standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control with rollover sensing,
traction control and anti-lock brakes

* Fuel-saving, rack-mounted electric power steering

* Unexpected levels of quietness, smoothness and refinement for the segment.

All models share an interior characterized by upscale materials and a lengthy
roster of equipment usually found in larger and more expensive vehicles.
Available technologies include Bluetooth and a navigation system.

Cruze's 1.4L Ecotec turbo performs like a larger engine when needed, but retains
the efficiency of a small-displacement four-cylinder in most driving conditions;
it is standard on Eco, LT and LTZ models. Rated at an estimated at 138
horsepower (103 kW) and 148 lb.-ft. of torque (200 Nm), it enables a cruising
range of more than 500 miles (800 km). Cruze will lead the way for Chevrolet in
the use of small-displacement, turbocharged Ecotec engines that are highly
fuel-efficient and power vehicles that are fun to drive.

Standard on LS models is a 1.8L Ecotec four-cylinder rated at an estimated 136
horsepower (184 kW) and 123 lb.-ft. of torque (166 Nm). Both engines are
designed with fuel efficiency in mind, including technology such as variable
valve timing that optimizes performance and fuel economy.

Backing the Cruze's engines are six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
Each contributes to excellent fuel economy.

Chevrolet engineers have already logged more than 4 million miles in quality and
durability testing worldwide, making Cruze one of the most real world-tested
products prior to a U.S. launch. It is backed by Chevrolet's
five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty – the best coverage in America.

Chevrolet Corvette C7 To Utilise GM's Global Design Strength

[Chevrolet-Corvette-Stingray-Concept-25.jpg]

GM is about to try something new: making Chevrolet's Corvette appeal to international markets. The General is soliciting designs from all ten of its styling studios, meaning that more than just American-market brains are weighing in.

Ed Welburn, GM Vice President of Global Design, said that Chevrolet will draw from the General's global talent pool in designing the new Corvette.

Welburn said that the global approach to the new Corvette - a Chevrolet icon traditionally designed entirely in the US - will give the sports car an international flavour and a stronger appeal for younger buyers both at home and in the European market.
