As the performance and fuel economy mainly depends on the weight of the vehicle, the designers of Cobalt are planning to make use of the light weight materials with no change in the size of the vehicle.

The Chevrolet Cobalt will be released as competitor to the likes of new Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. The first model of the new Cobalt comes for the test drive in the autumn season of 2009 or at the early months of 2010 and Chevy is expected to release the original model in the last season of 2010.

The first Chevrolet Camaros were put out in 1967-1970. These were the years of the muscle cars, not only from Chevrolet, but also from Ford. The sleek look and great feel of the cars of this time are making a come back, and wanted by people in our generation, meaning the here and now. The first Camaro was a little different from those of later years, as the first Chevrolet camaro was based on the nova model. In 1968, the design of the Chevrolet Camaro did change more to the body style that most are known for loving so much right now.

The Camaro has one long unibody, but presently in manufacturing, that feature could change a bit. The structure was back a bit from the front window so there was a small space. The steering of course, back in 1967 was a bit slow but with modern automobile changes, the Chevrolet Camaro is one that is easier to steer, making it a great choice for driving all day or just for a short ride.

So, what did a Chevrolet Camaro cost back in 1967 when it first came out? The cost of the car was just over $2,400. Now you can expect to pay a lot more than that, but the sticker price is going to be based on what features and add ones you give your Chevrolet Camaro. You could pay $20,000 to $30,000 depending on what you want in your car. For those purchasing a Camaro in 1967 the V8 had a two-barrel carb, and either 325 or 375 horsepower.
