Default The new 2010 Camaro is here at Lone Star Chevrolet in Houston!

We finally took delivery of the new 2010 Camaro in at Lone Star Chevrolet! We have about 15 right now, with a total of 50 being delivered in the next few days. These are the only 2010 Camaro's in the Houston area.











If you were thinking about pre-ordering one but wanted to actually see one in person before buying, come by Lone Star Chevrolet and ask for Jay, he can show you the cars and get you set up with a pre-order.

If you aren't familiar with the area but want to come by and check them out, the address is:

Lone Star Chevrolet
18900 Northwest Freeway
Houston, TX 77065

NOTE: YOU CANNOT TEST DRIVE THESE CARS, THEY STILL BELONG TO GM.

ya the radio doesn't give you any aftermarket options... of course most vehicles are going to that sort of deal nowadays.

Chevrolet is putting on an event soon where you can test drive all the new Chevy models under a controlled environment. They will then be sold as an "executive demo" sometime later on.

The ride n drive is at Sam Houston Race Park, about 10 minutes away, which is why they were all delivered to our dealership.

$30k for a loaded 2LT. That's not horrible i don't think. I would rather opt for the SS 2LT and that's gonna cost ya $37

I don't care...that is too much. You want to sell cars...you need a price everyone is dying to pay.

I hope GM does not make the mistake of sending all top of the line cars to dealerships. I want a strip down model.

You do realize that is for a loaded v6, and if you get the stripped down model you can get it for low 20's right?

A fully loaded, all equipped camaro v6 yeah...The v6 starts at 22k.

Any fully loaded V6 car cost about 30, mustang and challenger....so your still getting a dam good deal with a fully loaded Camaro v6.

I walked into a chevy dealer yesterday and could order a 1ss with the rs package/hocky strip and sunroof for $34k. Not to bad for 425hp car that actually looks good inside and outside.

+1 for that being a loaded V6.

Compare the pricing on a new Mustang or Challenger V6, hell even throw the Genesis Coupe in the mix and I am sure that you won't be dissappointed in the pricing anymore.

And..........I highly doubt most of us are too concerned with V6 pricing at this point, who with a modded LS1, is going to buy anything but the V8?

Yes, they are all V6's that I know of... remember these cars are not for sale, they are just for the ride n drive event, so I doubt GM would bring such a high powered car to a test drive event... which is why they don't bring the Z06 to these events. But they will all look almost identical except for a few options.

I have a question- I subscribe to Automobile weekly, Car and Driver, consumer reports, etc. Anyway, they all had the exact same ad about the v-6 camaro, and they gave different fuel estimates. Two of them said 18-27 mpg, while the other two said 18-29. They are all the latest issues, and the ads are duplicate with just the mpg changed. I noticed the sticker said 29 mpg. Is that the official estimate?
