Here's the drive through a rather green-looking Sepulveda Pass on the 405 Freeway. Great for finding that perfect Whitesnake song to blast down the highway to….Īnd the open highway is one of the areas where the Camaro really shines. I was however, a big fan of the Boston Acoustics audio system with iPod interface. If I were buying a Camaro though, I'd do without the optional colored interior panels. You won't mistake it for an Audi or a Benz, but it got the job done. I haven't spent a lot of time in luxury cars, but the quality of Camaro's interior didn't seem that bad to me. One glance into the side mirrors and you can see the car's sculpted rear quarters dominating the view. It may not be for everyone, but the 'Maro is no doubt overflowing with personality. The Camaro has been on the streets of the USA for nearly a year now, and still I couldn't drive more than a hundred yards without out getting a long stare, a thumbs up, or an approving nod from a pedestrian or fellow motorist. Let's just say that a new orange Camaro isn't a car for introverts. Once I adjusted myself to the Camaro's proportions though, I could see that the car was a very capable and comfortable performance machine – and not a bad value either. After a few days behind the wheel I began to get used to it, but it's still a little disconcerting not knowing where the front of the car is. For sure this is the biggest drawback of the new Camaro, along with its size and weight.

Jumping into the car, my first impression was the serious lack of visibility. Not only am I hundred dollars richer, but I have an Inferno Orange Camaro SS to drive for a week.ĭino wrote about his experiences with a nearly identical car in Japan, so for this story I'll focus on cruising the Camaro around California. After being teased with the concept version of the Camaro for years, my dad doubted the car would ever make it to showrooms, especially given GM's financial troubles over the past year or so.įast forward a year. I actually won the money from a bet with my dad. In fact I won the money long before my week-long test drive of the 2010 Camaro SS. After all, it's the car that won me a hundred bucks. I might be just a little biased in favor of the new Chevrolet Camaro.
