2010 Chevrolet Camaro

The 2010 Camaro is one of the few cars to come out of the design studio looking very much like it's prototype. Rather than deliver an updated fifth generation version of the Camaro, the sometimes overused retro theme was selected, hearkening back to the design cues that made the car such a big hit when it debuted in 1967. But Chevrolet did a terrific job of evoking the flavor of the past with modern creature comforts. But how is it to drive the new 2010 Camaro?

Camaro RS

Various trim levels are available to make the car suit your taste, but most people will look at one of two currently available models: the RS and SS variants. My first test drive was with the six cylinder powered RS (for rally Sport) version. This V6 is a version of the General Motors corporate engine that goes in many of their cars these days. With Direct Injection and other modern technologies, this engine makes over 300 horsepower. For reference, the last of the fourth generation Camaro's only made around 20 more horsepower, and that was with a V8.
