It would be a very busy Valentine for employees working at the Oshawa plant in Ontario this year. Why? Because just two days after, that red-letter day would be the start of production of the much-awaited Chevrolet Camaro.

The Chevrolet Camaro, a "pony car" manufactured by General Motors in North America, was first released in September 1966 and it has been designed to compete with Ford Mustang.

According to Leftlane, these Camaros are expected to be available by late 2008, contrary to previous reports that General Motors will start its production later this year. Meanwhile, a more convertible Camaro is set to hit the automotive market by December 2009.

Chevrolet targets to sell 100,000 Camaros annually at a minimum price of $25,000 for the V-6 and $40,000 with the V-8 - a rate comparable to that of Ford Mustang.

With a Corvette-inspired engine, the 2009 Camaro concept was used in Transformers’ "Bumblebee". What’s the use of an Acura Integra water pump to this sporty coupe that features a 3.9-liter V-6, 6.0-liter V-8 engine, 250 V-6, 400 V-8 horsepower, 260 pound feet V-6, 400 V-8 torque, six-speed manual, six-speed automatic transmissions? Also, consumerguide.com revealed that these Camaros will look to be slightly lighter than the 2002 Camaro but will retain the trademarks of the original one including a long hood, short-deck, low-roof profile and small rear seat.

Inspired by the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro will be the fifth of the Camaro generation, thus, it projects a retro look with a set of four rectangular ancillary gauges at the forward base of its center console.

Now, that’s good news.
