The 2010 Camaro will be available with a 296 Hp 3.6-liter V6 engine or a 416 Hp 6.2-liter V8, combined with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic transmission. The Camaro features an all-independent suspension setup and a StabiliTrak stability control system that promises to keep an eye on the coupe's buttocks. Braking power in the SS will be provided by 4-pot Brembo brakes while it is also reported that the coupe's 1,700 kg (3,750 lbs) weight will be split 52% up front and 48% at the rear.

2010 being early next year i.e 2009

For some strange reason the Yank model years are always +12 months

Looks quite good, the interior DOES look good, i like the guages at the bottom of the centre console but with touch screen LCD screens with sat-nav slowly becomming standard in most cars, that blue thing in the middle looks pants..

The interior looks a bit cheap to me. I like the back of the car more than the front actually...

Still, in 10 years, I may well get one.

My mate just told me that he read last night that it will be at the London motorshow this week, happy days as we're going to that so I can have a proper look...

They also say it will be sold in rhd.  Shame the engine will scare people off what with fuel prices, and GM will make sure they don't sell any by adding 5 grand to the price of what it should be (ie the price of bringing one over yourself).

Ignoring the interior, price or mpg for a moment, the biggest difference with this car is it handles

According to Doug Houlihan, GM's chief engineer for global rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the Camaro SS ran the 'Ring in 8:20.

To put that into perspective, the BMW E46 M3 and the last generation BMW M Coupe, followed by the Lotus Exige S and Porsche Cayman S did it in 8:25.

Ed Welburn, GM'S veep of global design, concedes that the Camaro's shape is merely adequate from an aerodynamic standpoint, with a coefficient of drag on the SS of 0.35 and on the LS/LT models of 0.36 – largely a result of the recessed headlamps and full-width grille.

Houlihan went on to say that their time at the 'Ring allowed them to dial in the steering response and suspension settings, and that the StabiliTrak traction control system on the Camaro will be the best GM can offer. Settings on the SS model allow drivers to choose between track and performance modes, along with completely disabling the system. A launch control feature will also be available on the SS.

It ain't no Mustang

That's true. You've been able to buy and drive a new style Mustang for nearly four years now.

GM missed the whole 'retro' fashion thing by miles and will finally start selling their big V8 car when the rest of the world will be selling smaller more efficient cars due to stupidly high oil prices.

Having said that, I wouldn't say no if I was given one to drive...

Hell, during the crisis in the early seventies, Cadillac thought it would be an excellent idea to produce the massive 500ci and put it into their production cars !

Go against the flow, I say.
