Chevy Trans-Camaro & No 2010 Impala SS
There’s a nice mix of good and bad news coming out of Chevrolet this week, on the heels of General Motors posting a $6 Billion dollar loss in Q1…yikes. Let’s start with the bad news – it comes as no surprise with all the cutbacks and angling towards a more eco-friendly future that Chevy will not be producing a 2010 Impala Super Sport. The SS Impala has been a successful offshoot of the Impala brand for years, but Chevrolet simply can’t afford the extra production. GM is placing their entire performance department on hold for now, with no date set to reactive the production of more SS vehicles.
Now for some good news – the folks at ASC Tuners have come up with a Camaro concept that not only intrigues our muscle car loving side, but also keeps alive Pontiac’s beloved Trans Am segment. The Trans-Camaro is a DUB version of the new Chevy Camaro with Trans-Am styling. Only a few concept drawings are available, but we’re hoping some kind car fanatic soul will fund a production ready model. Even if we can’t buy one, we’d still love to see videos of it on youtube!
Wow. All i can say. I have been thinkin about such possibilities where the impala would be idolized from chevy. Bravo and we need more creative ideas such as this in today’s auto industry. congratulations and concieving a masterpiece for the imperial model that is the Impala.
Is this the new for 2010 Trans-Am? Just when rumor had it that Pontiac was dead it raises from the ashes like the famed Aztec, um, Phoenix. Shaker hood, rubber-nosed, split-grill, yep, it’s back! But why now? The poor excuse for a GTO conceived and built in Australia never warmed the hearts of muscle car fans ’cause it looked to much like a family hauler. Now this. Too late for ‘couda, shouda, done that. The ‘excitement division’ of GM needed this car about 10 years ago. Now, if you were to stick this front end on a Camaro, and bring back the 400 cubic inch engine…
2010 Chevy Impala Sport sedan has a good reputation of better handling, fuel economy, and exceptional mechanical features.
