Chevrolet Camaro Extends Its Lead In US Sports Car Market

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

One look at the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is all it takes to understand the surge in sales, a surge that beat Camaros own January, 2010 figures by 21 percent. According to Chevrolet, “The Chevrolet Camaro extended its lead in the U.S. sports car segment in February, posting 6,482 sales.” Camaro total sales have outpaced other sports cars including Nissan 370Z, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Challenger for nine months in a row. And not only are the competitor cars experiencing lower sales than Camaro, many non-traditional Chevrolet customers and those owning competitor cars are trading them in for the Camaro.

And who can blame them? Visually appealing, the Camaro moves from the big screen to the highway losing none of its testosterone spewing star quality. All it takes is the open road and a driver that respects the exceptionally designed and engineered vehicle to understand Camaros extreme popularity.

The rebirth of Camaro in early 2009 was eagerly anticipated by auto and Camaro enthusiasts. Since the launch, Chevrolet has sold 75,000 Camaros and sales continue to climb with Texas, California, and Florida accounting for about 25% of all retail sales. Texas owns the title for ‘top 10 U.S. dealers for Camaro.’

With buyer demand being stiff GM’s Oshawa Assembly Plant in Ontario Canada has been running Saturdays since June 2009 to keep up with demand for the fifth generation Camaro.
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro comes in five trim levels, the LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS with the LS and LT packing the 3.6L GM LLT V6 making 304 horses. The spine tingling SS offers a manual transmission geared up with a 6.2L V8 that rocks 426 menacing horses.

There are times when a photo or the actual experience speaks louder than the most researched article. This is one of those times. Why are sales for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro ahead of its competitors’ sales? If you need to ask, it is time to visit your local Tulsa Chevy dealership, Roberts Auto Center.

Chevy Tahoe – Summer Concerts and Camping

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

The Chevy Tahoe a big ride for families or businesses on the go; those who carry their gear with them on a regular basis or tow it to the next adventure. There are many vehicles that can do most jobs routinely: commuter cars, sports cars, crossovers, and pickups but sometimes nothing gets the job done and in the style desired like Chevy’s full-sized SUV, Tahoe.

The 2010 Tahoe offers a quiet ride in a cavernous cabin that seats up to nine people (however the third row of seats won’t fold flat requiring it be removed should that space be needed for cargo), a creaseless powertrain, and towing capacity of up to 8,200 pounds. The Tahoe comes in three trims: LS, LT, and LTZ. No problem deciding on which engine power because the 2010 Tahoe offers one standard version: a 5.3-liter V8, with E85 capability.

Also new for 2010 are front seat-mounted side airbags and a USB audio connection. Each trim offers a full array of various luxirious features like dual-zone manual climate control, rear air-conditioning, leather-wrapped tilt steering, OnStar, six speaker stero with CD player, satellite radio, and auxiliary audio jack and USB audio jack, blind-spot warning system and much more.

Tahoe offers a six-speed automatic transmission standard and rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive models are also marketed. For 2010, Chevy also offers the 4WD Tahoe with a choice of traditional two-speed transfer case or a single-speed unit.

Expect figures like these when talking performance, zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds and EPA estimated fuel economy tested out at 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined either in 2WD or 4WD.

This great versatile vehicle can be purchased for a suggested MSRP of $37,280 and will take you just about anywhere you and your friends and family wish to go in unique Tahoe bigger than life style!
