After hearing and reading all the hype about the newest Camaro, a one-week test drive seemed a tad disappointing. Yes, the exterior shape is very eye-catching. But the reality is after the first, second and third body scans, what’s behind the visuals really do matter. Interior-wise, the all-new Camaro captures the muscle temperament with splashes of metal amid chiseled gauges. Buttons and knobs are right-sized—not too small, not too big. Front seats are supportive and comfortable, but the back seat is very small—providing 29.9 inches of legroom compared with more than 42 inches in the front seat. When going forward is the only thing that matters, the view is great. But beware of the compromised views that result from chubby A-pillars. Even worse, the rearview is severely impaired. The test driven Camaro was fitted with a 3.6-liter direct injection V6 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with tap shifting (upright pointer-flaps indicate the push-button shift-spots on the backside of the steering wheel). The V6 produces 304 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 272 pounds-feet of torque at 5200 rpm while the Camaro SS is fitted with a 6.2-liter V8 that can provide up to 426 horsepower. The V6-powered Camaro is fast, but it just doesn’t feel super-fast. There’s no back-pressed-against-the-seatback impact when the accelerator is depressed on the Camaro with the automatic transmission. The 2010 Camaro, which gives a nod to the first-generation sports car produced from 1967 through 1969, is the first with a standard independent rear suspension. Estimated mpg fuel economy for the 2010 Camaro 2LT Coupe is 18 city and 29 highway. MSRP of the Camaro 2LT Coupe is $26,580.
