newVideoPlayer("/TodayVolt.flv", 506, 423,""); We knew the Chevy Volt would increase global levels of smugness. Here's Matt Lauer, crowing about being the first to drive it to CNBC 's Phil LeBeau — and that was only a test vehicle!

newVideoPlayer("/Star-Trek-Vette.flv", 494, 350,""); It looks like someone's snagged a bootleg of the trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie off the front of the James Bond flick Quantum of Solace . While Wert may have been focused on the Ford Edge , we noticed the trailer showing a young Captain Kirk driving a C2 Corvette convertible off a cliff in an effort to evade a masked flying motorcycle lawman of some sort. The ever-defiant Kirk bails just as the Vette slides off the edge, saving himself while killing the car. The trailer goes on to show off all the well-known characters from the Trekiverse along with what appear to be a host of new baddies, the ship, and explosions. Come on, let it out — you know that closet Trekkie nerd just let out a silent whimper of excitement. We know, and it's OK, we did it too.

newVideoPlayer("/transformerscommentary.flv", 494, 400,""); This new video may not be the clearest shot we've seen of the 2010 Chevy Volt , Corvette Centennial Concept , or any of the other GM product-placement-bots on the set of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen , but what it does bring to the table is behind-the-scenes commentary from real fanboys. The Transformers geeks inform us that Bumblebee, also known as "that muthafuka riiight there," is "the shiiit." You just can't get this kind of insight anywhere else.

newVideoPlayer("/CamaroLive_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); No, you didn't read that wrong. Our sources tell us those idling sounds you hear in the above video received anonymously from one of our tipsters (who we're still waiting for an e-mail back from!) aren't coming from a plain-Jane direct-inject 3.6-liter V6 engine. Nope, apparently the new Chevy Camaro painted hot rod red shown to journalists in Metro Detroit last night had either the big 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and its whopping 422 HP. That's enough power to take the Camaro SS around Germany's famed Nurburgring with a time of 8:20 . How do we know it was the LS3 and not the new Active Fuel Managed L99 V8 with the same displacement? Well, this particular Camaro's got a manual transmission. So yes friends, this is the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS — dressed up as a 2010 Chevy Camaro RS . Yeah baby, it's a sleeper! Nice. Also, see if you can spot Jalopnik 's fearless leader for some bonus points...

newVideoPlayer("/2010ChevyCamaro_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); Well, first driving video of the production version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro , anyway. Sure, there's been two-and-a-half years of spy photos, videos and what have you, but here's B-Roll of the real deal. It goes like a nice Chianti with the leaked photos revealed on Friday, some fava beans and the live reveal you'll see here tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 PM. Sure, we wish there were some sounds of the new Chevy Camarro to go along with the video. Unfortunately, some silly site* we liberated this GM PR video from (its from an 800-lb consumer site with the inside line on how to get video from Chevy) decided to do a voice over instead of giving enthusiasts the chance to really here that Camaro purr. Bad consumer site, bad! Whatever. Anyway, hit the jump for our galleries on the new muscle car from the General. galleryPost('2010CamaroProdRed', 9, 'Camaro Blushes'); galleryPost('2010CamaroProdYellow'...

newVideoPlayer("/2009_CorvetteZR1_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); We'd heard the long-lead media "drive" for the 2009 Corvette ZR1 was yesterday and it looks like the first in-car driving footage is now out on the web, less than 24 hours later. We obviously weren't there, primarily since we'd heard it was all magazines there. Frankly, we just don't need as much time as the glossies to put out a good story. We don't have character blocks to set in the printing press, no ink to squirt out and no parchment to unroll. So we guess it makes sense that we wouldn't need an invite to an event this far out. Of course, we also expected the invited media reps from the big n' bad buff books would, you know, drive the cars themselves. Instead, we're treated to GM test engineer Jim Mero — we think — driving one of the invited journalists around the road course at the General's Milford Proving Grounds. We know Mero's a pretty...

newVideoPlayer("Bumblebee1.flv", 494, 371,""); It might be from a low-quality cameraphone, but here are the first images of the brand new 2010 Chevy Camaro SS -bodied Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie. In addition to the side shot we saw yesterday , this new shot gives us some full frontal muscle car action via a much improved look at Bumblebee's newish nose — which may very well be actual SS styling. And then there's the video — we can barely make out the sweet up-powered Camaro engine music. But the taste is all we need. More pictures below the jump. galleryPost('bumblebeelaurel', 3, 'Bumblebee Buzzing Around Set'); [via TransformersLive ]

newVideoPlayer("CitroenAveoTransformer_gawker.flv", 494, 350,""); Whether it's a C4 on top of a parking garage , the same C4 showing off a penchant for ice-skating or a Chinese man just looking to score with the ladies , Citroens like to transform. In fact, so much so they've already been made fun of once before in a faux ad for the 2CV . But now another automaker's getting into the act in a new ad from the brand all about the 'merican revolution in a commercial for the new Kalos-replacing five-door hatchback Aveo econo-box . That's right, Chevy — the very last brand you'd ever expect to be knocking a badge for advertising their love of cars that transform into robots. We're guessing someone at Chevy's ad agency may have forgotten Chevys like to transform too — heck, they even have a toy version of the Aveo named " Swerve ." Talk about the heights of hypocrisy. Unless Chevy's just making fun of Citroens for dancing...

We know you've seen the 2010 Chevy Camaro plenty of times by now, but trust us, you haven't heard it quite like this. It must be the fanboys at Camaro5 's response to Lexus trying to steal the spy video thunder with the LF-A video from earlier. Because thunder is exactly what the Camaro's big 'merican V8 sounds like as it races around the famed German track. The video is over six minutes of rumbling goodness, so you might want to let it load a bit before watching. Ooh, and look, a Pontiac G8 GXP was there too.

newVideoPlayer("80_Chevette_Dealer_476.flv", 494, 413,""); You Chicago-area folks might remember Timmy of Long Chevrolet in Elmhurst, in which case you've already been inoculated against the effects of this stunning combo of Malaise Era machinery, bad suits, brain-scouringly bad UHF production values, and Timmy's shouts. Chevettes Chevettes Chevettes!

newVideoPlayer("BikiniMatiz_Jalopnik.flv", 463, 387,""); Though fairly pedestrian by most standards, this humorous Greek ad for the Chevrolet Matiz hatchback is, by American carmaker standards, too hot for TV. It's just a girl in a bikini suggestively washing a car, but the implication of sex means running afoul of any number of conservative family groups that get a hard-on every time they have something to boycott or complain about. Completely safe-for-work unless you work at the Family Research Council. [YouTube via CarScoop ]

newVideoPlayer("camaroblackdriving.flv", 475, 376,""); While yesterday we showed you the first spy photo of a purported 2010 Chevy Camaro SS , now we've got some video of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro driving around in that slick black paint we've seen spy photos of it wearing . Ok, so it's no Camaro SS but... ...we're still of the impression black is the best looking color we've see so far on the General's modern reinterpretation of the muscle car. Though maybe that's just because it hides the ugly of those headlights which we're still hoping, praying and believing are strictly for the pre-production version and not so much for the showroom.

newVideoPlayer("CorvetteZR1Harlan_gawker.flv", 475, 376); Man, myth and long curly-haired legend -- Harlan Charles is the man behind the team that brought you the newly revealed 620+ HP 2009 Corvette ZR1 . We've had the opportunity to spend time with Harlan "Corvette Commander" Charles in the past, and he's always got something new to say about the 'Vette -- whether it's wearing a devilish blue stripe, or something more mundane. Without further -- you know, stuff -- here's Charles giving us a quick minute on the new shiny parts on the new super-Vette. At the Detroit Auto Show next month we'll sit down with the product manager for something more in-depth. He doesn't know that yet, but trust us, we will. galleryPost('2009ChevroletCorvetteZR1P', 6, '2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1');

newVideoPlayer("CorvetteZR1HotLap_gawker.flv", 475, 276); var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Inside_the_650_HP_Corvette_ZR1_during_hot_lap_at_Laguna'; A few weeks back we broke the new the new up-powered model of the 'vette we've been talking about at length for the past year now -- the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 -- would be taking a hot lap or two around the track at Laguna Seca. We knew we'd get some pictures of the hot lap -- even posting a contest on it -- and we hoped for some video . What we didn't know was that the passenger of the ZR1 would be holding a camcorder. So, thanks to our friends at Corvette Quarterly, here's the exclusive video of the hot lap 'round Laguna Seca with Corvette racer Johnny O'Connell. It's epic and we think we just may have wet ourselves. While we clean up, we'll let you take a gander -- and listen to the sweet, sweet engine sounds. We certainly don't think you'll be seeing a look at the new...
