Camaro Faqs

The fact that the economy is in the dumps could affect the sales of GM’s new 2010 Chevy Camaro. For months consumers have been waiting expectantly for it - but with the looms of something bad in the air they are not sure if it is something they can afford. In order to boost the appeal GM is offering the model in more trim levels.

But is seems that this will do little to help true Camaro enthusiasts. The main reason for this is the starting price. Consumers are having a difficult time trying to pay MSRP for a car that they in turn will be stripping.

GM will be offering the Chevrolet Camaro with four-cylinder engines and also with V6 and V8 engines. This is to keep up with the economical cars that the U.S. has to offer. They believe that only 30% of the Camaro sales will be with the V8 models and will feature a 400bhp-odd version of the 6.0 litre block that can also be found in the Corvette.

The bulk of sales will be of the 3.6 V6 (as used in the Cadillac CTS, developed for around 300bhp), at least until the four-cylinder models - probably using the turbocharged GM Ecotec 2.0-litre - arrive. However, a 425bhp top-line SS model is still said to be under consideration.

General Motors has plans to show off the new Chevrolet Camaro in 2010. The Camaro - which was first discontinued in 2002 - has been designed using a bit of a retro and modern look to it. GM is hoping that it will beat out the famous Ford Mustang.

Romanians are some of the top on GM’s list to buy the car. That is because many consumers in Romania are interested in the muscle cars like the Mustang. They just have to convince them that the Camaro is better.

Production for the new Camaro should start in 2009 and be ready for purchase by 2010
