2010 Chevy Camaro Coupe
February 23, 2010
The 2010 Chevy Camaro Coupe is back! After taking a hiatus from production, the car that stole the car enthusiast’s heart from 1967 until 2002 is back in 2010 and looking better than ever before. After its debut in Michael Bay’s film “Transformers” as Bumblebee, the car is finally getting back to the road where it belongs.
The new Camaro remains sporty, fast and affordable. Its best enhancements are eco-friendly with a fresh design. It is said to get an estimated 29 highway miles per gallon and starts at only $22,680. Choose from a V6 or V8, an assortment of colors, accents, stripes, and several other packages that are available.
It’s a great looking car, and is great speed or for everyday use. You can go onto the Chevrolet website and create your own Camaro with a choice from the LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS and 2SS models, or pick from one of the pre-personalized Camaros already built and delivered to Heritage Chevy. For more information come ask the experts at Heritage Chevy-Buick in Owings Mills, Maryland.
Chevy Reintroduces the Camaro. Better than ever before.
February 24, 2009
As it was then, so it is now. The Camaro, born more than 40 years ago as Chevrolet’s reply to the Ford Mustang, is coming out of retirement (since 2002) for a new fight with the namesake ponycar.
As expected, the Camaro will be available in LS, LT and SS guise. The LS and LT models will make do with a 3.6L V6- with either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission – and will produce 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Despite having more power than the V6 versions of the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, the V6-powered cars will return 26 mpg on the highway.
Both the LS and LT models will ride on GM’s FE2 suspension. An RS appearance package will be available on LT model, and will include HID headlamps with an integrated halo ring feature, spoiler, specific tail lamps and 20-inch wheels.
With four-wheel independent and Stabili-Trak stability control standard, the Camaro will tip the scales at about 3,700 pounds, but is said to have a near ideal 52/48 weight distribution.
Although the V6 models will do battle with low-end Mustangs and Challengers, a turbocharged four-cylinder is still not out of the question. The automaker hopes to sell as many as 100,000 units annually.
Overall, the body shape looks very similar to the Camaro Concept. GM has added a B-pillar to the Camaro’s body structure for added strength. Otherwise, the car is virtually unchanged from the concept, as GM has promised.

2008 Chevy Orlando Concept
October 10, 2008
The Orlando is a new crossover concept based on the upcoming Chevy Cruze sedan.
Sitting on the same Delta II platform that will underpin the Chevrolet Cruze, the Orlando rides higher and taller. General Motors said it “explores the potential of combining the versatility attributes of a sport utility, a family van and a wagon in a single execution.” We think it looks quite a bit like a 2008 Dodge Caliber, particularly in its C-pillars and its exaggerated fender flares.

2008 Chevy Corvette Coupe
October 10, 2008
If you just want a fast car yet don’t want to spend a ton of money, the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 makes a lot of sense.
It’s pretty amazing how far the Corvette has come in the past fifty years. The current, sixth-generation ‘Vette now gives you 430 horsepower, endless torque, better steering feel, and a better chassis than any Corvette in history, and enough rock-solid durability to drive to Africa and back. It’s a pretty far cry from the days of ladder frames and three-speed automatics.

September Sales: The financial crisis looks worse than the fuel crisis
October 10, 2008
September sales: The financial crisis looks worse than the fuel crisis.And this time, no one is spared.
If zooming fuel prices earlier this summer killed sales of pickups and SUVs, then the faltering economy and now the credit crisis have pretty much choked off sales of the remainder of the market. While August saw the pain spread to all major brands, save Infiniti, Mini, Nissan, Subaru, and VW, in September, every one of those holdouts found themselves underwater, too. The only nameplates to post gains in September were tiny niche players: Maserati (up 30%), Lotus (up by 3 cars – yes, 3), Lamborghini (by 2), and Rolls-Royce (by 1).
