With the Chevrolet Camaro Concept at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, GM has been surprised us all with the help of South Korean designer Sangyup Lee. And now Camaros fans have been waiting for the return of the badge since the fourth-generation model ended production in 2002. On the other hand it's been more than 2 years and we’re still waiting on the production model. GM won’t debut the production model until later this year. Well - keep waiting.
The fifth-generation of the Chevrolet Camaro won’t hit dealerships until spring of 2009 as a 2010 model. Joining the 2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept was the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept exactly a year later at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show. Both models will go into production in January 2009 at GM’s Oshawa Car Assembly plant in Canada.
The Road&Track says that the model will be available in three different trim levels including LS, LT and SS. The LS trim will get a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 220-hp, while the LT trim will get a 3.6L V6 engine with direct-injection producing 304-hp. The range-topping SS trim will get a 6.2L LS3 V8 that produces up to 405-hp. A 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged version is still under review and may replace the 3.5L V6 in the LS trim, while GM has yet to release any technical details for the fifth-generation Camaro. And the pricing for the Chevrolet Camaro Concept is expected to start in the mid $20,000 range hitting $40,000 for the SS model.
