The newest iteration of Chevy's long-running muscle car proves that raw power and macho looks never go out of style. Today's Camaro holds just as much appeal as the original when it comes to sheer excitement for the money.
What's New for 2016
The Camaro has been completely redesigned.
Choosing Your Chevrolet Camaro
The Camaro wears a slightly smaller, more exotic body this year and has dropped some 200 pounds. Perhaps the most startling news is the turbocharged four-cylinder that serves as the base engine. A convertible model is expected to join the coupe later in the year.
The 2-liter turbo puts out a robust 275 horsepower, enough to make the Camera suitably quick while achieving 30+ mpg in the highway. The last year's optional 3.6-liter V6 returns with a bump to 335 horsepower. The mighty 6.2-liter V8 is now good for 445 horsepower, 29 more than before. Both the V6 and V8 feature cylinder deactivation for enhanced efficiency.
The entry-level LS trim has been dropped, leaving the popularly-equipped LT and V8-only SS:
All Camaros can get a sunroof and a performance exhaust system as standalone options. In addition, navigation can be added to the 2LT and 2SS.
The Camaro's base price has increased by about $2,000, but most of that can be attributed to the discontinuation of the LS. All models are now well equipped, and the LT will fully meet your needs unless V8 power is one of them. For tire-smoking goodness, there's no substitute for the SS.
