The active centenarian recently became the oldest-known living owner of a new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Despite initial concern from the sales associate, Coffman knew exactly what he wanted when he purchased the 400-plus horsepower, ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037503_drive-thrus-and-the-2010-chevrolet-camaro-not-a-good-match http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037503_drive-thrus-and-the-2010-chevrolet-camaro-not-a-good-match Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:27:00 -0400 A few weeks ago we posted some follow-up impressions on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. While nearly everyone here at TheCarConnection.com loves the way it drives and performs, this time we took a slightly more critical look, in a week of errand-running and daily-grind commuting. To make it as blunt as possible: when you let that adrenaline rush ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037483_disgruntled-2010-chevy-camaro-owner-yep-hes-real-honest http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1037483_disgruntled-2010-chevy-camaro-owner-yep-hes-real-honest Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:59:00 -0400 Here at TheCarConnection.com, we read a lot of automaker press releases. A week ago today, a pretty unusual one landed on our desks: GM was touting the text of a letter from a "disgruntled owner" of its new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Surprise, surprise, the owner wasn't actually unhappy. Instead, it was a mock complaint citing all the wonderful ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036334_this-week-in-camaros-z28-not-a-sure-thing-dealers-get-2011-convertible-preview http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036334_this-week-in-camaros-z28-not-a-sure-thing-dealers-get-2011-convertible-preview Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:41:00 -0400 This week's informative GM Fastlane chat session with General Motors VP of Chevrolet Brand Brent Dewar tells us the Camaro Z28 isn't guaranteed for production--contrary to earlier reports--and the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible was shown off to dealers this week, and "will come out soon." The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has been a hot seller for ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036306_2010-chevy-camaro-surprisingly-refined-predictably-bitchin http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1036306_2010-chevy-camaro-surprisingly-refined-predictably-bitchin Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:27:00 -0400 Through this year's upheaval at General Motors, the buzz around the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has stayed strong. Many months now since Camaros first started arriving, they're still driving traffic around Chevy dealerships. And on the road, as we recently experienced, it still makes people turn and look--with a grin. It's easy to see why. ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034928_rematch-2010-ford-mustang-gt-vs-2010-chevrolet-camaro-v-6 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034928_rematch-2010-ford-mustang-gt-vs-2010-chevrolet-camaro-v-6 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:06:00 -0400 Some rivalries just keep on. And just as Coke and Pepsi fans continue to stand their ground, so do pony-car fans. We just brought you fresh driving impressions on the bargain-priced 2010 Ford Mustang V-6 Coupe, which for about $25,000 will get you head-turning looks all around, a pretty lengthy list of standard features (including very ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034846_2010-chevrolet-camaro-outsells-ford-mustang-again http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034846_2010-chevrolet-camaro-outsells-ford-mustang-again Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:00:00 -0400 When comes to Detroit's Big Three, Ford is the belle of the ball these days: the company never accepted bailout dough from the U.S. government, and as a result, Ford's brand and its sales are both doing pretty well. However, one of the company's flagship models -- the Ford Mustang -- has recently been losing ground to one of its primary ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034490_wtf-friday-video-transformers-costume-really-transforms http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034490_wtf-friday-video-transformers-costume-really-transforms Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:15:00 -0400 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034464_future-cars-2012-chevrolets-get-smaller-greener http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034464_future-cars-2012-chevrolets-get-smaller-greener Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:00:00 -0400 Two weeks ago, TheCarConnection toured GM's design studios for a sneak preview of the future cars and crossovers planned for Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick. We've shared the Buick 2012 and Cadillac 2012 portfolios with you, but what's in store for GM's moneymaker? At its core, the 2012 Chevrolet lineup is getting smaller and smaller. And ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034412_2010-dodge-challenger-srt8-creeps-up-to-41230 http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034412_2010-dodge-challenger-srt8-creeps-up-to-41230 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:25:00 -0400 Things just got a little more interesting in the musclecar world: Chrysler has bumped up the price of the 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 to $41,230. That's an increase of $1010 over the 2009 model. What this might mean for the Challenger isn't sure. On the one hand, the price jump makes the 2010 model about $8000 more expensive than the similarly ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034202_muscle-car-meme-fixing-the-front-of-the-2010-chevrolet-camaro http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034202_muscle-car-meme-fixing-the-front-of-the-2010-chevrolet-camaro Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:51:00 -0400 Whenever you've got muscle cars, you've got accessories. Lots of 'em. Performance parts, body kits, interior mods, you name it. But the meme of the moment seems to be new front ends and grilles for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Yesterday, Bengt Halvorson reported on a Pennsylvania designer's plan to create a 2010 Pontiac Trans Am out of the new ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034187_2010-pontiac-trans-am-still-might-arrivesort-of http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034187_2010-pontiac-trans-am-still-might-arrivesort-of Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:48:00 -0400 In its previous life, the Chevrolet Camaro always had a Pontiac companion--the Firebird. And while Pontiac Firebird's top-performance version, the Trans Am, typically offered performance in line with the equivalent Camaro SS, the T/A was always a little showier--whether it be with pop-up headlights or, for crying out loud, the screamin' ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034167_chevrolet-camaro-convertible-running-late-still-coming http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1034167_chevrolet-camaro-convertible-running-late-still-coming Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:10:00 -0400 Yesterday was a great day for General Motors fans: some impressive details were released about the upcoming Chevy Volt, new products were revealed for Cadillac and other GM brands, and the company confirmed that a convertible variant of the Chevrolet Camaro is still on track. Not so long ago, the future of the drop-top Camaro seemed anything ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022078_muscle-cars-rule-even-in-tehran http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1022078_muscle-cars-rule-even-in-tehran Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:40:00 -0400 Even amidst the election protests and civil strife in Tehran, it appears that the city's muscle-car fans made time to meet and show off their V8-powered machines. We don't know a lot about the event shown--or when it took place--but a reader sent photos to The Atlantic's Daily Dish blog with the comment: Tehran's Camaro and Firebird enthusiast ..]]> http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1021882_transformers-bumblebee-boosts-buzz-on-2010-chevrolet-camaro http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1021882_transformers-bumblebee-boosts-buzz-on-2010-chevrolet-camaro Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:40:00 -0400 Remember when General Motors said the company wasn't going to be in a position to help promote Transformers 2 the way it had hoped? Turns out that's not such a big deal. Despite GM's cutbacks, and despite the film's lukewarm reviews, the product-placement payoff has been huge for GM. In fact, the company is expecting that sales of the Chevy ..]]>
