Camaro Named Great Road-Trip Car
More accolades for the Camaro, this time in pretty fun form. CNN recently released a picture article showcasing their 7 Favorite Road-Trip Cars, and lo' and behold, there was the Camaro taking another prize. Claiming it to be one of the most fun cars one could possibly hope to sit behind the wheel of for an extended amount of time, I can totally agree. They do state that anymore than 2 people and the road-trip turns sour, as those rear-seats are just glorified luggage holders so far as I'm concerned, but say that's ideal, fun, sporty, and efficient, making it ideal for a couple on a road-trip looking to have some fun. Don't typically think of sports cars as ideal road-trip cars (unless it's a convertible and you're road-tripping to the beach) but I'd happily drive anywhere in my Camaro. How do you feel about it?

2010 Camaro now in Top 3 for World Car Design of the Year
Recently, I updated that the 5th Generation Camaro had been put on the short list for World Car Design of the Year. The award finale is coming up on April 1st, and the Camaro looks like a very strong contender for the win. The list of 4 had been:
Chevrolet Camaro
Citroën C3 Picasso
Kia Soul
Toyota Prius
World Car finalist Prius has been eliminated, which almost seems laughably obvious now based upon the recent news of runaway Priuses bombarding CNN, Fox, and every other news source around and inbetween. The Kia Soul is a nice little car, especially considering the price tag, but it is nowhere near the same class of car as the Chevrolet Camaro. The C3 Picasso is a little trickier to judge though, as I've never seen one in person here in America. Of course, the images I've seen of it, do not inspire much desire or awe:
In fact, it looks like a car Scion has been making for years now. Based upon the competition, I truly think it would be a travesty if the Camaro lost this prestigious award. Seriously, if you want fantastic design, just look at this:
That's a masterpiece right there, and a clearly deserving winner. Here we go Camaro, let's try and add this award to the shelf!
