New GM cars coming, bankruptcy or not

Chapter 11 isn't stopping General Motors from launching a summertime product assault.



1 of 7


Performance car No. 1: Chevrolet Camaro


• Camaro: GM's power play



Roll-out: Now
Price: $22,245 - $33,430
Fuel economy: 18 city, 29 hwy with V6

Yes, General Motors is in bankruptcy court with lawyers picking the fat off its bones, but regardless of that, the automaker is aggressively pushing five new vehicles to market.
These will join the two new cars that GM delivered to showrooms just before its Chapter 11 filing.
When this is all over, the new leaner GM will emerge from bankruptcy with some nice new cars.
For a company that's supposed to be concentrating on fuel economy, the Camaro muscle car might seem like the wrong choice for a leading role.
But with an optional V6 that gets 29 mpg on the highway, the Camaro just hitting the streets now does offer decent fuel economy. Much more importantly though, buyers are lining up for a GM car that doesn't need rebates to sell.
Camaro buyers shouldn't be disappointed. With either the V8 or V6 engine, performance is powerful and sophisticated. Both versions come with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
While the Camaro's interior makes voluminous use of hard plastics, the sort of stuff GM has long been criticized for, the artful design more than makes up for that. By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNNMoney.com senior writer

I like the new SRX but o man do I like the interior of the lacross. I saw a CTS at work yesterday and I was impressed by the interior too. Finally GM is straying away from the hard plastic interiors.

 

Is it me, or does the CTS Wagon look like a Magnum?

 

Looks more like a volvo to me.

 

I like what I see...I think the Camaro is my favorite!

I kinda like the new Equinox too, i'm not an SUV fan, but if I HAD to buy one, I would consider the Equinox, especially for its fuel economy!

The new Buick is nice too....it actually looks pretty sporty!
