2009 Chevorlet Camaro
It debuted in concept form at this year's Detroit auto show, but all indications point to a production version of the Camaro in the not-too-distant future. Various suppliers have already said that GM is expecting to put the car into production by 2009. The big question will be how close Chevrolet's designers and engineers can get the production car to the concept. Compared to the original '69 Camaro it was based on, the concept had very different proportions. Although both are the same length, the concept car sits on a 2-inch-longer wheelbase and measures over 5 inches wider. It's also slightly taller than a '69, despite its low roofline. No doubt some of that extra height comes from the 21-inch front wheels and tires and 22-inch rear meats. Assume that the production version will have more realistic wheels and tires along with dimensions that are less stretched out. The most likely holdovers from the concept are the 6.0-liter, 400-hp V8 and six-speed manual transmission, but even that could change in the next three years. Don't get me wrong, this dosn't mean I'm going to be a big fan of Domestics now, but I thought what they are trying to do is pretty cool. Even if it is a rip off of what Dodge did.
