While gas prices climb, Chevrolet is on the verge of reviving the Camaro sports car. It’s an unusual move considering the current prices of gasoline. While a sports car may not be exactly what consumers want these days, Chevrolet expects that most customers will be buying the V6 powered Camaro rather than opting for the gas guzzling V8 variant.
The upcoming Chevrolet Camaro is due in 2010, but already the vehicle is getting plenty of buzz. At auto shows, consumers have been drawn to the Camaro’s retro styling, and almost guaranteed performance. In addition to buzz at autoshows, dealers such as San Diego Chevrolet , have also seen increased interest in the Camaro. However, by the time it hits dealer show rooms, the more conservative V6 engine is going to be the engine of choice for more buyers.
The Chevrolet Camaro is expected to have a 3.6 liter V6 engine that will produce 27 miles per gallon and with direct injection technology it could produce as much as 300 horsepower. Although the V8 will attract enthusiasts, most buyers will be content with the powerful V6 says Rio Rancho Chevrolet dealers and others throughout the South West area. Chevrolet also expects many V6 buyers to be women.
Chevrolet execs have made it clear that they don’t have an expectation that gas prices will go down by the time the new Camaro comes out since gas prices don’t appear do be decreasing dramatically any time soon. Additionally, the upcoming Camaro could even be powered by a four cylinder engine. The V6 Ford Mustang has remained a strong selling model at Used Cars Richmond dealers and elswhere due to the lack of competition following the demise of the Camaro . GM could be working on a 2.0 liter turbocharged engine that could produce around 260 horsepower and 260 lb ft of torque.
