SEMA 2010: Chevrolet Camaro SSX Concept
Chevrolet has made it clear that the company has a strong interest in helping owners get the most out of vehicles like the Corvette and the Camaro on a race track. While the epic Corvette Z06X Concept was seemingly envisioned as the Bow Tie answer to the Dodge Viper ACR-X, Chevrolet is showing the Camaro similar love via the SSX Concept. The car makes use of a host of carbon fiber in places like the trunk lid, hood, fenders and doors to keep weight as low as possible, and while the company isn't saying exactly how many pounds it managed to shed compared to the standard SS, we've got to imagine that the figure is far from insubstantial.
In addition to putting the Camaro on a diet, Chevrolet also took it upon itself to play havoc with the 6.2-liter under the hood by bolting on tricks like new CNC aluminum cylinder heads, sliding in a new camshaft and swapping in a dry-sump oil system. Make no mistake, with around 524 horsepower on tap, this dog will hunt.
SEMA 2010: Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Concept
Chevrolet was kind enough to give us a sneak sampling of what the company has planned for SEMA 2010, and the star of the show looks to be the car you see above. Called the Corvette Z06X, the bruiser is effectively a race-ready behemoth with a host of suspension tweaks and a slew of weight-reducing materials on board. Built by the Corvette legends at Pratt and Miller, this Satin White machine started its life as a Z06 with the CFZ carbon-fiber package. Throw in an adjustable rear wing borrowed straight from the C6R along with a full SCCA roll cage and you've got the bones for go-fast trackday goodness.
Under the hood, the standard LS7 V8 benefits from a new low-restriction intake and a more robust coolant system. The suspension wizards at PFADT were so kind as to supply a set of mono-ball control arm bushings, adjustable stabilizer bars and a complete coilover suspension, too.
Chevrolet has also bolted on a new raised carbon-fiber hood along with carbon headlight housings to shave a few pounds. The biggest weight savings, however, has to come from the polycarbonate rear window which is also lifted straight from the C6R.
SEMA 2010: Chevrolet unveils custom 2011 Camaros
The Red Flash Show Camaro is a look-at-me V8-powered coupe that will certainly grab your attention out on the road thanks to its modified intake and exhaust system. On the other end of the spectrum is the XM/Accessory Appearance Package V6 Camaro that goes for a more subtle, not-so-flashy styling upgrade. The Synergy Series Camaro is the second version of a once-per-year limited-edition, and it features interior and exterior colors not available on any other model in the Camaro range. Finally, the SSX Track Car Concept rumbles on to the SEMA floor to tease us with the idea of a purpose-built track-day machine
SEMA 2010: 1955 Chevrolet E-Rod LS3 Pickup
While the wicked E-Rod LSA found its way into a Superformance Grand Sport Coupe at this year's SEMA show, General Motors decided to plop the company's new E-Rod LS3 into something a little more traditional. GM yanked the sheets off of an expertly-crafted 1955 Chevrolet pickup street rod. The project started by mating a minty-fresh Dynacorn body with the chassis of a Trailblazer SS. Throw in a 315-horsepower, 335-pound-feet of torque E-Rod LS3 and you've got the basic ingredients for one very lust-worthy pickup.
GM says that the new E-Rod LS3 will command a price tag of $7,150 when it arrives in 2011.

2011 2012 Chevrolet Orlando Minivan live presented in Paris 2010

On the first day of the international automobile salon in Paris, 30 September 2010, the company Chevrolet showed just 4 premiere. One of the most striking was a completely new car in the line of Chevrolet - minivan Orlando.
Concept car, which was created on the basis of a new model was first shown here - in Paris in 2008. Serial machine will please future owners of the seven-seat interior, a practical and flexible "interior and" off-road "look.
The new car, on a plan the company's management should strengthen the position of the Chevrolet brand in Europe. "We believe that Orlando will bring fresh impetus to the class of the family mini-vans and help us to increase sales volume and level of presence in Europe, attracting more potential customers to the brand Chevrolet», - said Wayne Brannon, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe .
Designs are applied when creating a Chevrolet Orlando, the car made a spectacular and enjoyable time. Fairly compact appearance combined with a spacious cabin. Low roofline Chevrolet Orlando supplemented extended wheel arches, under which can accommodate wheel sizes 16-18 inches. Three rows of seats arranged one above the other, forming a kind of amphitheater, which is surrounded by numerous capacities to store small things. However, when it comes to cargo, "theatricality" disappears: the seats fold down, and Salon Orlando partially transformed into a large boot (one of the largest in class). With regard to the front of the console, then it is arranged as comfortably as possible, ie equipped with a large container for small items, and is also equipped with audio system and USB-port for charging an MP3 or IPod.
Basis for Chevrolet Orlando were taken of development, which are already known to motorists who are familiar with the current "hit" Sales - Chevrolet Cruze. The latter is popular in many European countries due to ride, good handling and excellent design. According to these characteristics Chevrolet Orlando will not assign a dynamic colleague for the brand. Under the hood of the family minivan are planning to install three choices of engines to choose from: one petrol, the volume of 1.8 liters and 141 hp, and two-liter diesel engine (131hp and 163 hp). The standard equipment includes the Chevrolet Orlando: electronic stability control, six airbags, air conditioning, power mirrors.

Paris 2010: Chevrolet Cruze hatchback looks good in Paris, would look better in America
You know, the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback is a pretty good-looking little C-car. Sure, many of the show car bits will be removed when this five-door Cruze goes into production, but on the whole, General Motors has impressed us with this attractive hatchback version of its new compact car.
Unfortunately, the five-door Cruze is not slated for North American consumption – we'll have to make do with the still-good but less-functional (and less-attractive) sedan. GM may think that Americans don't buy hatchbacks, but according to recent sales data of hatches versus their sedan counterparts, The General would be very, very wrong. Regardless, Europeans will get to sample the Cruze Hatchback when it goes on sale in the old country in mid-2011.
Thus, we are left to sit and stare at the Cruze hatchback as it shines under the lights of the Paris Motor Show.
Paris 2010: Chevrolet Aveo is ready for global B-segment battle
The Chevy Aveo might look a little awkward from certain angles, but it's sure to be a wholly better machine than its predecessor. Still, the new design is a big step forward for General Motors, and we like certain cues like the rear door handles being integrated into the C-pillar and the mean, Spark-inspired taillamps. This Aveo you see here is actually a "show car" for the time being, as the production car will receive minor tweaks and changes depending on the market in which it's sold.
When it goes on sale in America next year, the new Aveo will more than likely be powered by The General's 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine good for 115 horsepower, though Europeans will have up to four engines from which to choose including a 1.3-liter diesel. Along with a huge interior refresh, the Aveo should now be better poised to compete with offerings like the Ford Fiesta and Honda Fit.
Paris 2010: 2011 Chevrolet Orlando offers frill-free utility
Chevrolet has debuted its Orlando people mover here at the Paris Motor Show, and while we were originally a bit nonplussed at being promised the car in the U.S. only to have General Motors later recant, we're no longer upset at its absence. Inexpensive and frumpy smallish MPVs still manage to find an audience in many European markets, but having fiddled with the Orlando today, we suspect that it probably wouldn't have fared that well Stateside.
Our first impression is that the Orlando is rather Dodge Journey-esque, albeit a bit smaller (it's Cruze-based, but bigger than it looks). Still, it shares the Dodge's seven-seat configuration and value-oriented bent, though it makes use of a range of smaller, Euro-friendly powerplants, including a 141-horsepower 1.8-liter gasoline four-cylinder and a pair of diesel fours offering 131 hp or 163 hp.
The interior is basic yet functional, with a much better resolved dashboard and center stack than the aforementioned Dodge. That said, the Orlando is built to be an inexpensive offering and it very much feels that way, with a nondescript crossover-like exterior (disappointing after the much better looking concept) and a competent but character-free interior. The three-row stadium seating is a nice touch, but as with most vehicles of this size, the 'way back' will be reserved for short trips, particularly as there's almost zero space for cargo when the rearmost seats are deployed.
Orlando production is slated to begin this month, with the first deliveries slated for early next month.
