We took the ten official 2010 Chevrolet Camaro paint codes and splashed them across a few cars for your full Technicolor viewing pleasure. galleryPost('camaroflavors', 11, '2010 Chevrolet Camaro Paint Jobs'); The available colors for 2010 are "Safe Bet" Silver Ice Metallic, "Statutory Grape" Imperial Blue Metallic, "Secretary Nail Polish" Red Jewel Tintcoat, "Rental Fleet" Summit White, "Always Dirty" Black, "You Bought A Camaro In That Color?" Aqua Blue Metallic, "Grandpa's Cadillac" Cyber Gray Metallic, "I Bleed American" Victory Red, " P***y Magnet " Rally Yellow and "Flame On" Inferno Orange Metallic. Now, these aren't official images or anything. (Read: Please don't eat us, GM.) What is official is the paint brochure these chop jobs are based upon. You can cop your very own Official Camaro Paint Chip Card at your local dealer while limited supplies last. ...

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!

NBC Today Show 's Matt Lauer is in Detroit, teased a production car live this morning at the Warren Tech Center. Despite rumors of the Beat's demise , it looks like it's the Chevy Beat . Lauer claimed the car would be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show — most likely in production form. Makes sense to us. No reason to include the Chevy Beat in the upcoming second Transformers movie if they're not planning to bring it to market. Of course, they're also including the Corvette Centennial Concept, and we don't think they've got plans to ever produce that. Video coming shortly.

Matt Dillon didn't Crash his rented 2009 Chevy Impala while traveling 106 MPH through Vermont, but the actor did receive a ticket for the Wild Things he did on the road. The 44-year-old actor was taken into custody last night after exercising poor judgment while driving more than 40 MPH over the posted speed limit. Had he been going slower he could have gotten by with a ticket but, at those speeds, it's considered reckless driving and excessive speeding. Bummer. On the other hand, we're assuming the rental car he used was a non-SS 2009 Chevrolet Impala, proving the vehicle can actually beat 100 MPH. Maybe he was just prepping for the sequel to Herbie: Fully Loaded ? [ E! Online ]

Do you want to build your very own Camaro GS Racer featured at this year’s SEMA show? GM Performance Parts has the answer for you with the new $7,000 2010 Chevy Camaro body-in-white. Starting early next year, GM Performance Parts will begin offering the 2010 Chevy Camaro body-in-white in their catalog. Marketed towards the competition racer set, the 2010 Camaro body-in-white will save both time and money. The package includes an assembled body structure, including front fenders, hood, front fascia, grille, roof, doors, rear quarter panels, trunk lid, rear fascia, complete floorpan and chassis rails. The cost of the package will run you $7,000, a far cry from the up-level SS model that would see the removal of 90% of its original content. The parts needed to complete the package will include a powertrain, fuel system, suspension, interior components, glass and safety equipment. GM Performance Parts offers many of these parts through its online catalog and with such a large assortment of...

Apparently Disney World's Test Track at Epcot of all places took delivery of their 2010 Chevy Camaro RS and a forum-head over at Camaro5 snagged shots which display a sweet, retro-style set of rallye wheels. galleryPost('camarorsrallye', 6, 'Epcot Camaro Wearing Retro Rallye Wheels'); The obvious throwback to the old school Camaro warms the car-guy cockles. We actually think this Camaro adds a certain degree of tough-guy attitude missing from the other Camaros. Now if it can be had with a stripe running around the nose, we'll be in hardcore Camaro fanboy heaven. Please Chevy, make it so. [ Camaro5 ]

Surprise! Here's the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox scheduled to make its debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show . Bet you didn't expect to see this on a Sunday morning did you? galleryPost('10chevyequinox', 6, '2010 Chevrolet Equinox'); The all-new 2010 Chevrolet Equinox builds on the the previous model with more of what segment buyers are looking for across pretty much every aspect. Better interior, better styling, better engines, better transmissions and smarter features. You can bet GM will be trumpeting from the heavens the new Equinox's 30 MPG city rating when optioned with the direct injection 2.4 liter four cylinder and standard six speed transmission, but we've seen the little SUV in the sheetmetal and we're happy to say the Equinox isn't just a fuel economy figure. The new Equinox takes styling inspiration mainly from the Chevy Malibu, but there are hints of other cars in the lineup as well. Outside we see the Equinox gets the new Chevy face, first...

We've taken a look at the 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS sedan and had a rollicking good time doing it, but who should buy such a car-shaped rocket ship? Why you should buy the 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS : You like the idea of hitting the drag strip and taking down cars costing twice as much. You want to be Paul Walker but you've got a pair of kids and a job and a wife and need a car that doesn't get whispered about at PTA meetings. Despite being a grown up, you hear the siren song of cheap drag racing and can't afford a money pit racer. You're a sixteen-year-old speed freak and able to fool your parents into thinking its just a boring old Cobalt. galleryPost('cboaltdeets', 6, 'Chevy Cobalt SS Details'); Why you shouldn't buy this car: You think cars with 82-way power seats, pop-up navigation systems and hand-stitched leathery bits are the last word in high-performance. Greasy bits like a high-tech turbocharged 2.0-liter direct injection four-cylinder, Brembo brakes...

Yesterday, we told you the 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS was a walloping good time. But how does it stack up when you’re not going fast? Let's find out. Exterior Design: *** The 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS , even in four-door form, makes us smile for some reason. To know how easy it is to take a plain vanilla econobox and turn it into a car with a much more handsome proportion, providing just a hint of the performance that lies underneath, without resorting to a SEMAgasmic display of leftover go-faster-looking parts, is quite an achievement. Certainly it's still a small car with a tall cabin and dodgy-looking lighting elements, but when lipstick's applied, it kinda makes ya want to pucker up a bit for the little pig. Interior Design: *** The two-tone, Alcantara sport buckets in the front and rear are magnificent. Grippy, firm, supportive – fantastic. It’d take something badged “Recaro” to be better. General space is good all around for the segment, even for the back seat passengers. The patented...

The 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS isn't the best car on the road, nor the best car in the segment, but it is one of the best cars for those interested in a walloping good time. As a practical matter, it doesn't matter where you grew up or what school you went to as a kid, every class had the one kid who got bored with his studies, his contemporaries, and his classroom because of his outstanding capabilities. He acted up, talked out of line, developing remarkably clever spit ball shooters or the most advanced in flying aerodynamic paper systems. That kid grew up to be the engineer for the 2008 Chevy Cobalt SS. The frenetic, brilliant, creative masterpieces which entertained his teachers immensely but inevitably earned a B for incompleteness are directly translated to his work on the Cobalt SS, a car so fun to drive you hate to mark it down. galleryPost('cobaltssreview', 6, '2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS'); With your foot planted resolutely on the accelerator pedal and sport mode...

GM's announced due to the Carpocalypse , it will halt construction on the new 552,000 square foot Flint Engine Plant responsible for the 1.4-liter inline four destined for the Chevy Volt and Chevy Cruze . Back in September GM announced it would construct an all-new plant in Flint, Michigan to produce the 1.4 liter direct injection inline four cylinder engine planned to act as a generator in the Chevy Volt and main power in the Chevy Cruze. GM Spokeswoman Sharon Basel would not say when construction might resume if government loans are made available, but asserted there is time in both programs to accommodate the delay, and GM currently builds the engine in Austria, so they "...have lots of options. The construction of the new plant is not going to interrupt our plans for the Volt or Cruze." Due to a tightening cash situation GM is immediately halting construction of the plant in an effort to stay afloat over the sea of bankruptcy. A delay in the production timing for both...
