2010 Chevy Camaro Review

2010 Camaro
The 2010 Chevy Camaro is going be the car that brings back the charm and style of a sports car. Unlike the previous Camaro's, this new style Camaro is going to offer a smooth ride with a custom design. The horsepower of the Camaro promises to be a toy collectors dream come true. The LS-2 6.0 liter V8 offers up more horsepower than any other Camaro. The 400 horsepower engine is going to come in close behind the Corvette, but it will still have enough horsepower for the road. The car offers a smooth ride without any of the engine noise or any shaking and rattling that was apparent in older models.

When the 2010 Chevy Camaro comes out, it is going to have some competition from Ford and Dodge with the Mustang and Challenger, but it will still come out on top with the sporty look and superior horsepower. Whether you drive the manual transmission or the automatic transmission, reaching top speed will be no problem for those of us thrill seekers. If Chevy stays on plan with the independent rear suspension and MacPherson struts in the front, they should have a car capable of blowing away any other sports car in it's class!

The look of the 2010 Chevy Camaro is inspired somewhat by the original 1969 Camaro, but with bolder lines and a much more aggressive body style. The look of the car from the back is what is going to draw attention. Looking at the back window up to the roof, you see a smooth delivery that enhances the look of the car. When the 2010 Chevy Camaro first appeared at the Detroit car show, it was soon realized that that this was going to be a collectors dream. Although there is still some speculation as to when the car would come off the line, we now know that the new Chevrolet Camaro is going to become a reality.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro The only thing stopping everyone from owning this car is the release date. The original MSRP of the various models is still unknown, but with all the horsepower and custom design that will make this car "The car of the century" one can only imagine it will be worth every penny. Chevy dealerships around the country have already been flooded with the same question over and over, which isn’t how much is it going to cost, but when will it FINALLY be released. We finally have the answer. September 19th through the 21st, 2009 at the Brickyard event in Indianapolis, IN. Chevy officials will be on hand with several different trim styles and engine types, as well as all of the specifications you are dying to know about such as their horse power, gas mileage and MSRP.

If you owned a 1969 Camaro (or wished you did), you are definitely going to love the 2010 Chevy Camaro. It is destined to become equally as memorable and sought after as the 69 Camaro. Remembering back, collectors were willing to pay top dollar for a project car and cars in supreme condition went for more money than it costs you to buy a nice little house. It will be intriguing to see how the 2010 Chevy Camaro compares to the original in the long run.

Chevrolet Volt To Feature BlackBerry, iPhone App [American All-Electric Car To Use Mobile Phone App To Control 'Some' Car Functions]

The American car industry may be in trouble, but they’re still trying new things. Last week at the LA Auto Show, American car giant Chevrolet gave a press conference on the Chevy Volt, their all-electric car, and revealed a quick PowerPoint slide that the carmaker was developing a mobile phone app to control ’some car functions’.

A source within General Motors (Chevrolet’s parent company) leaked to Volt blog gm-volt.com and revealed that the app will first come out for the iPhone and BlackBerry, and will be released before the car’s release. The Volt mobile phone app will allow users to set specific schedules for their car’s recharging cycles, like at night when the power usage rates are lower.

The GM leak also said that some features from GM’s OnStar in-car safety system could be incorporated into the mobile app. gm-volt.com’s writer speculates that things like when the car is fully charged, and possibly a warning that the car is not plugged in could also be incorporated to the app.

No information on pricing was released. It would be nice if a free download code for the apps were quietly tucked inside the glove compartment when you took the car home from the dealership – but considering the state of the American car industry, they’ll probably charge you $9.99
