European Chevy Camaro Gets Cooler LED Tailights

Matt Hardigree — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:30:00 EST

Americans invented the Camaro. Americans invented the lightbulb. Wouldn't it then make sense for Americans to get the Camaro with the best bulbs? Alas, shots of the new European Camaro show they're getting better, more fancy LED lights. Let's set fire to our mullets in protest! More »

Chevy Camaro gets hot for teacher in Super Bowl ad

Justin Hyde — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 09:30:00 EST

As part of GM marketing chief Joel Ewanick's Super Bowl ad onslaught, Chevy will get five different commercials (the Bumblebee commercial from two days ago is one of them), including a 30-second version of this spot found by the crew at Camaro5.com. It's total fantasy; Miss Evelyn could never see what's chasing her in a Camaro. More »

Mark Arnold — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:00:00 EDT

What you're looking at here is the GM AutoBook program set up for the 2010 Chevy Camaro. It's the 2SS additional options list, though unfortunately there's no pricing listed. Regardless, this gives you a good idea of just how many different boxes you can tick off when ordering your retro muscle machine. Just like the in old days, it's all about the details. More »

New Chevy Camaro SS Revealed, Officially And Underwhelmingly, At 2008 IndyBash

Ray Wert — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:30:00 EDT

While we're excited for the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS, the reveal yesterday was rather undramatic, taking place at an event held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway called the 2008 IndyBash. Yeah, and as expected, it was filled with all sorts of surprises — like — um, OK, so there weren't any surprises. What should we expect from the reveal of the "SS" version of what may quite possibly be the most over-exposed and vehicle in the history of the automobile? Not much, wethinks. So, on that level, the reveal met expectations. But, if you're interested in seeing the car up close — again — for the umpteenth time — check out the gallery below. Many thanks to the folks at the Camaro5 forum for snapping all of them for your viewing pleasure. More »

2010 Chevy Camaro SS, Officially Unveiled...Sort Of

Ray Wert — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 22:45:25 EDT

That's right folks —never mind the ad supplement, or the leaked pictures — now the first official press photo — or press rendering, we guess — of the new Chevrolet Camaro SS was just revealed on GM's Media site. We can't seem to find any other press release or official documentation accompanying it. But whatevs, we're just pleased as punch Chevy finally showed us what the new up-powered Camaro with the 6.2-liter V8 engine. Well, now that the strip tease is finally over, we guess we can all now sleep easy. Click here for the high-resolution picture. More »

Unofficial 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS Pictures

Ben Wojdyla — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 12:05:00 EDT

We're expecting official images of the ever-pending 2010 Chevy Camaro SS any day now, but the various photo shoots ahead of that day have yielded at least one gallery of good ones. An AutoInsane reader managed to get into a shoot and take some really great photos of the latest Chevy super sport. As we saw when Fergie showed off the Camaro SS, it looks a lot like the concept but with some real rearview mirrors and actual badging. More »

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS Revealed In Conde Naste Ad Supplement With Black-Eyed Peas Singer

Ben Wojdyla — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:40:00 EDT

The first official image of the production-intent 2010 Chevy Camaro SS debuted in a Conde Nast magazine ad supplement called "Fashion Rocks" aside some singer we seem to remember used to be in the Black-Eyed Peas. This makes way more sense than dropping it into say, a buff book or, you know debuting it online like every other car these days. But, although the SS looks similar to the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro we saw revealed live in Detroit recently, there are some tell-tale differences. More »

2010 Chevy Camaro Sales Reference Guide Proves GM Hasn't Fired Marketing Department

Ben Wojdyla — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 09:40:00 EDT

Here we are, months and months away from the sales-floor launch of the 2010 Chevy Camaro, and already those persuasive salesfolks are prepping, poring over this conveniently leaked sales guide, readying their pitch to get you into GM's new hotness. We took a look at the nine-page talking points memo and found it unsurprisingly chock full of marketing-speak. Things like "world-class cupholders" and a "Reverse mohawk roof" prove to us that GM really put a lot of effort into the sales strategy here — just look how hard they're trying. More »

Video: Bumblebee Shows Off His Newish Camaro SS Nose

Ben Wojdyla — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:12:31 EDT

It might be from a low-quality cameraphone, but here are the first images of the brand new 2010 Chevy Camaro SS-bodied Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie. In addition to the side shot we saw yesterday, this new shot gives us some full frontal muscle car action via a much improved look at Bumblebee's newish nose — which may very well be actual SS styling. And then there's the video — we can barely make out the sweet up-powered Camaro engine music. But the taste is all we need. More pictures below the jump. More »

Looks Like Bumblebee Gets An Upgrade To Chevy Camaro SS For Transformers 2

Ben Wojdyla — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:07:40 EDT

Update: We managed to snag some clearer pictures and video of the Bumblebee version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Caught hot on the set of Transformers 2, the next iteration of Bumblebee seems to have been augmented with a very snazzy, very different 2010 Chevy Camaro SS treatment than we've seen in the past. Could this be the first glimpse we get of the as-yet unseen version for the bow tie brand? We like to think yes, or it's just a piece of magic. As far as Bumblebee's new choice of wheels, we're a little disappointed, we always imagined giant, intergalactic transforming robots had better taste than that. More »

2010 Chevy Camaro "SS" Caught On Drive In The Mountains?

Mark Arnold — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 15:48:08 EDT

Oh look, it's another purported Chevy Camaro SS out testing. Not much more to see than what we've already seen before — hockey sticks on the side, big tomahawk-stripe down the hood. What's under the hood is the real question — is this an up-powered mullet-mobile, or merely a "prettied-up" 'maro tester like the highly accessorized Camaro we saw yesterday? [via Camaro5] More »
