Review From NWAutos
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is a visual reminder of the 1969 Camaro but with a flair provided by bulging fenders and large wheels. A windshield and side windows give passengers the feel of being behind gun slits in a military vehicle.
The new Camaro is substantial, too. The base car, with V-6 and manual transmission, weighs nearly 3,800 pounds, which is akin to a Chevy Colorado Crew Cab pickup truck.
At 75.5 inches wide, the Camaro is wider than many sport utility vehicles. And with 304 horsepower in the base model, it offers much more power than base versions of the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger.
In addition, starting prices for the Camaro — $23,040 starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, for a base model with 304-horsepower V-6 and manual transmission and $31,040 for one with 426-horsepower V-8 and manual — are higher than those of the major competition.
The new Camaro, which started production in March with 14,000 orders on file, is built on a modified rear-wheel drive platform borrowed from the Australian affiliate of Chevy’s parent company General Motors Corp.
But it’s clear in driving and riding in it that detailed work was done to the suspension. Struts with coil springs handle things up front. In the rear, a well-designed, independent, 4.5-link configuration works great to even out road bumps and maintain control during spirited driving.
In city traffic, the ride can feel compliant without being soft and mushy. In twisty mountain roads, the car can feel taut and well-managed without being hard on passengers.
Brakes in the test Camaro, the mid-level LT, worked well, too. I just wish the steering felt more precise.
Engines and transmissions are engineered for fuel economy and strong power.
The 3.6-liter, double overhead cam V-6 with direct injection and variable valve timing that’s in the base LS model as well as LT has enough “oomph” to move the sizable Camaro forward easily. Torque peaks at 273 foot-pounds at 5,200 rpm, which is more than what’s in the V-6s of the Mustang and Challenger.
In the tester, an optional Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission delivered the power smoothly, and the car always felt responsive.
Six speeds, rather than four or five, help get the most out of every gallon of gasoline, and the test car was rated the highest for any Camaro at 18 miles per gallon in city driving and 29 mpg on the highway.
Fuel mileage drops when the Corvette-derived 6.2-liter, overhead valve V-8 is under the hood in the Camaro SS. This powerplant, which can be had with manual or automatic transmission, ratchets up the sporty factor with as much as 420 foot-pounds of torque at 4,600 rpm.
The fuel mileage rating from the federal government declines to 16 mpg in city driving and 24 or 25 mpg on the highway, depending on the transmission.
Both engines sound wonderful, with just the right exhaust notes.
The Camaro interior includes cues from 1960s Camaros — notably deep-set gauges with thick needles and old-style lettering and numbering. I’d forgotten how difficult it can be to pinpoint exact speed with this kind of speedometer, which has tightly spaced hash marks.

The Chevrolet Corvette can be found near Plainfield, Illinois at Advantage Chevrolet.Already bargain priced for the handling, power and iconic status it delivers, the Chevrolet Corvette ratchets up its value-for-the-dollar appeal this year with a new Grand Sport model.The first Corvette with the Grand Sport name since 1996, the new model slots below the pricey Corvette Z06, which has a starting price tag of more than $75,000.The Grand Sport, in comparison, has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, with destination charge, of $55,720 for a coupe and $59,530 for a convertible with at least 430 horsepower. This is $5,840 more than a base Corvette coupe and $5,000 more than a base Corvette convertible.
But the Grand Sport, which borrows many body panels from the Z06 and adds a taller spoiler and wider tires than the base Corvette has, looks a lot like a sinister, 505-horsepower Z06 on the outside.The Grand Sport also has an advanced suspension because it mixes in some suspension parts from the much-revered Z06. Brakes are updated from the base Corvette for solid performance, and buyers can add Grand Sport fender stripes as an option.The result is an eye-catching, showy two-seater with a noteworthy — even memorable — ride.Want a quote on a Chevy Corvette near Plainfield, Illinois?

Equinox is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 8 trims, ranging from the LS 2WD to… the LTZ AWD.
Upon introduction, the LS 2WD is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 182-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 32-mpg on the highway. The LTZ AWD is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 182-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 29-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.
What car and driver said about the Chevy Equinox…
“The nearly all-new Equinox is far more praiseworthy, a fact you can tell simply by scanning its winsome styling. Like its big, three-row brother, the Chevrolet Traverse, the 2010 Equinox is sleek and rather large for its class. It’s expressively styled, with a hunkered-down road stance and more sparkling body jewelry than a Las Vegas cancan dancer’s. Fat fender flares break up the tall body sides, and blackout D-pillars visually shorten what is ultimately a long vehicle by wrapping the upper rear end in what looks like one piece of glass. Body seams are kept to a minimum, with paper-thin slits replacing the outgoing model’s finger-thick gaps. Slick.”
Swank, Spacious Interior
“More glitz can be found inside. The Equinox’s dashboard is easily the most futuristic and detailed in its class, with silver-trimmed, Camaro-like “squircle” gauges bracketing a classy LCD containing an array of trip- and vehicle-related data. The dash and the door panels are rendered in a variety of silver, gray, and chrome materials. They’re mostly rigid except for the main touch points, and the center-stack button arrangement takes some learning. We sampled three different color choices: all black, chocolate and black, and black and stone gray, with our favorite being the latter. Each is subtly enhanced with red seat stitching and red rubber liners in most of the storage cubbies (of which there are lots). The elbow-deep center console is equipped with a power port, USB and aux jacks, and, most important, a light in the event that you drop something into that deep abyss.”
