2010 Camaro Not for Luxury Drivers

I just recently took a ride with my parents in the new 2010 Camaro with the SS Package.  I was fine, but both my parents had turned green, complaining that it was way too bumpy.  So for all you mercedes and lexus drivers, don't expect to be riding smooth in the Camaro.

Chevy Camaro Leaves Ford Mustang Sales in the Dust

   vs.   

Don't underestimate the power of commercialism at the movies!  Thanks in part to Chevrolet's marketing in the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen flick, the cash registers are ringing at Chevy dealers across America.  Ka-ching!

For the first time in 16 years, the Chevy Camaro has outsold the Ford Mustang -- 9,320 to 7,362.  Now the question is, do you think the Camaro can maintain its lead over the ever-popular Mustang?  Or will Camaro sales fade like a falling star?  

I think I see the beginnings of a muscle car rivalry here.  Whose side are you on?      

2010 Chevy Camaro Plays Hard to Get

Don't you hate it when you have your heart set on something, but you just can't get it?!  Well, according to USA Today's article published on July 29, 2009, Chevrolet is struggling to keep up with the demand of the hot 2010 Camaro.  

Popularity has been fueled by the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie in which Shia LaBeouf drives a sweet yellow and black Camaro concept car.  This car is HOT so it's no wonder that consumers are itching to buy one!

Don't expect to see many (if ANY) on the showroom floors, though.  Most dealers were only given one car and are taking orders only.  Last we heard, the wait for a 2010 Camaro is about 3 months.
