2010 Chevrolet Camaro: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro marks the return of this General Motors division's iconic "pony car." It bows as a 2-door coupe. A 2-door convertible version is due in early calendar 2011. The 2010 Camaro shares some of its basic design with the now-discontinued Pontiac G8 large sedan; it wears body styling inspired by the 1969 Camaro. LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS trim levels are offered. Two engines are available--a V6 and a V8. The V6 is a 3.6-liter unit that produces 304 hp. It's available on LS and LT. SS versions with a manual transmission get a 426-hp 6.2-liter V8. Automatic-equipped SS models also get a 6.2-liter V8, but it makes 400 hp and features GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. V6 versions also offer a manual or automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. An RS Package for LT and SS models includes bi-xenon headlights, specific trim, and on LT versions, 20-inch wheels. All Camaros are available with 21-inch wheels. Rear-obstacle detection is standard on the 2LT and 2SS and optional on the 1LT. Other available features include a wireless cell-phone link, USB port, satellite radio, and remote engine start. Added during the model year was a Transformers Special Edition package that includes specific trim inspired by the movie of the same name.
