Following a seven-year absence, Chevrolet’s reincarnated Camaro roars back on the automotive scene with a tantalizing blend of history and modernity. Exhibiting a muscular body strongly reminiscent of the first-generation version, this sexy ultra-designed 2010 pony car shares its platform with the Pontiac G8 and competes with the Dodge Challenger, Nissan 370Z, and Ford Mustang. This four-passenger sports coupe comes in three different trims—LS, LT and the $30,995, 6.2-liter V8 engine-powered SS. A special Transformers edition is even available. Exciting performance and refined handling characterize the Camaro’s personality while driving, and compared to its competitors the car is a sure value, offering plenty of raw power for the dollar.

The Camaro LS, the base-level trim starting at $22,995, can launch from 0-60 mph in a spirited six seconds thanks to its 304-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. While the Chevy ’s drawbacks comprise a cramped backseat, limited visibility and mediocre cabin materials, it does have, along with its devil-may-care manners, a 29 mpg fuel economy on the open road. Standard equipment includes front cloth bucket seats, folding rear seats, and a six-speaker CD/AM/FM audio system with MP3 and XM Radio capability. Depending on the trim or feature package, a rear spoiler, sunroof, iPod interface module, USB port, Bluetooth connectivity, limited slip differential, and leather-appointed seats are all available.
