Chevrolet Camaro, 2010


More than 40 years after it debuted as a muscle car competitor to the Ford Mustang, the Chevrolet Camaro re-emerged in the spring of 2009 as a 2010 model after a several-year hiatus from the manufacturer’s lineup.

The Camaro is available with V6 or V8 engines and in five trims, all of which attract immediate attention. The rejuvenated, fifth-generation Camaro resembles the Mustang in design. But it simultaneously brings the long-standing coupe a new, modern identity and retains the good and bad traits from its now middle-aged history and reputation
East Coast laugh at us whenwinter weather’s arrived.” In Sacramento, that usually means mid-30s, rain and sometimes fog. But there was snow and temperatures in the high 20s with during my week the 2010 Camaro. It’s nice to have a heavy muscle car during inclement weather. In the instance of the Camaro, that only meant it furthered controlled the road.
When it was clear and crisp and visibility was good, the Camaro was even more of a star. People gave a “thumb’s up” to the guy who delivered the car. A guy in a grocery story parking lot was all over the car . . . in a good sort of way. The young woman in the coffee-to-go kiosk I frequent might have left her husband for me — as long as she could drive the car.The car turned heads everywhere I drove it.The retro squared gauge dials on the instrumental panel and lower console are masculine and perfectly fit the car’s image. At night, the combination red and teal-blue colors are complementary.The Camaro coupe may be the longest car I’ve ever driven that has four-person seating but in reality only room for two passengers since there’s little leg room behind the front seats.
