All About the Camaro

Take a look back at the history of the Chevy Camaro, and how it has evolved until it was re-invented in its current retro form. Courtesy of Howstuffworks.com: bit.ly/UJ02pU

 

 

"During those two years after the debut of the Mustang, Chevy worked to develop a car that hued to the long-hood-short-rear-deck pony-car template, but unique styling and a range of high-performance engines quickly established Camaro as the ride pony-car enthusiasts turned to first for affordable power.

The pages of this article examine the Camaro model year by model year, revealing the look, the equipment, and the spirit that garnered it a legion of loyal fans that continues to this day."

GM Ready for 500,000 Electric Vehicles by 2017

GM has big plans for the future and their part in it. Check out this press release from Autoblog.com to see what they'll be doing in the years ahead: bit.ly/QMACwg

 

Speaking (via satellite) to journalists at the General Motors Electrification Experience in San Francisco yesterday, Mary Barra, GM's senior vice president of global product development, announced that The General will have 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. That's only five years away, and implies 100,000 such vehicles sold in each of the next five years. The asterisk is that Barra most certainly did not mean a half-million GM plug-in vehicles will be on the road by then, since electrification here includes everything from the small electric helpers in its eAssist vehicles to full electrics like the Chevrolet SparkEV. Using those parameters, GM will sell 50,000 vehicles "with some form of electrification" this year alone. As of the end of October, GM sold 19,309 Volts, and the final 2012 tally will likely be around 25,000.

But, the interesting aspect is that Barra says GM's future "focus" will be on plug-in technology. She didn't say that GM is leaving things like hydrogen and biofuels behind, just that, "The plug-in offers a unique opportunity to change the way people commute. Plug-based solutions will play a significant role in our technology portfolio going forward." The Volt, Barra said, is fulfilling its role as technology leader, spawning not just the Spark EV but also the planned production version of the Cadillac ELR concept shown above. Right now, only those privy to GM's secret future plans binders know how many "children" the Volt will have by 2017.
