The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has barely been seen in public, but there is already talk that there may be a special edition based on the “Bumblebee” version seen in the upcoming Transformers 2: Rise Of The Fallen movie.
The Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 is an amazing sports car, but there are always some who think more power makes a better car. European tuner Geiger has created an upgrade package for those people, calling it the Corvette Z06 biTURBO.
The Korean-built Chevrolet Aveo, universally accepted as among the worst cars ever created, has been living on borrowed time since being introduced in 2002, and continues for 2010 with yet another facelift.
While Ford Middle East still peddles leftover four-banger versions of the 2009 Ford Fusion in the GCC, the redesigned 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is making waves in the United States. Drivers trained in mileage-maximizing techniques were able to get an extraordinary 2313 km out of a single tank of petrol during a fund-raising road-trip and publicity stunt. They did it by averaging 2.88 litres per 100 km, using a non-modified Fusion Hybrid straight off the showroom floor. The Fusion Hybrid already calls itself the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in North America.
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has barely been released in the United States, and already it has been hit by a factory recall. It is a problem that causes the V8-powered Camaro SS to shut down, and a few American owners have experienced it. The issue is a battery cable that runs from the boot. Its insulation wears off from rubbing up against the starter and eventually causes a short, which ultimately causes the car itself to shut down.
Italian auto design firm Stile Bertone, now under the creative direction of former Pininfarina designer Jason Castriota, revealed their much-hyped new supercar called Project M, which turned out to be nothing more than a rebodied Chevy Corvette ZR1, calling it the Bertone Mantide.
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, based in the US is known for tuning up GM sports cars such as the Chevrolet Corvette. They also beef up the exterior to give them a more aggressive look. They haven’t disappointed with the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.
In all honesty, we have never driven the new “improved” Cadillac CTS. We kept asking for one, only to either be given something else or altogether forgotten. Now we will never get to drive one, because GM is going bankrupt and they have stopped giving out test-drive cars already. Even then, American tuner Hennessey may have figured that even the latest CTS-V is lacking in certain departments, and is offering performance packages to boost power to insane levels.
The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is an iconic version of the American sports car that was last seen in the early 90s. It makes its return, at least in the U.S. market, sporting its trademark double-hash stickers and a host of upgrades over the standard Corvette C6.
The Ford F-150 is the top-selling light truck in the United States. The latest redesigned 2009 version is available in hundreds of variants in America, even while GCC dealers are still trying to offload leftovers of the previous version here. Expanding the American line-up is the all-new 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor, a purpose-built high-performance off-road truck built by Ford’s SVT performance division. As Ford teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, it is a last hurrah for SVT before quietly winding down operations.
