Summary
Although the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car par-excellence, what is interesting to note is that it is based on a rear-drive platform that was engineered in Australia and is being manufactured at a General Motors (GM) assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Troy Clarke, president of GM North America, described the 2010 Camaro as "the redefinition of the classic American sports car." Gene Stefanyshyn, the GM Vehicle Line Executive in charge of performance cars, noted that there were engineering resources available there to work on the platform that had been developed there. Stefanyshyn said that they had to set the car up to accommodate "four powertrain cubes," by which he means the assorted engine/transmission combinations. While the 2010 is by no means an economy car, it should be noted that even with a 6.2-liter engine and a manual transmission the estimated EPA numbers are 16 city/24 highway -- even with all that muscle.
