| Chevrolet Camaro gets “Hottest Car” inaugural SEMA Award Posted: 03 Nov 2010 08:05 AM PDT  Not that it needed any more appraisal, but the Chevrolet Camaro was recognized as the “Hottest Car” in the Inaugural SEMA Award, which is given to the most accessory-friendly new models at the show, based on the number of vehicles exhibited. "A booth space is a ballot, and the models these exhibitors have selected represent their vote," said Chris Kersting, SEMA president and CEO. "More than any other venue, the cars exhibitors and attendees bring to SEMA embody the passion and excitement of car enthusiasts everywhere," said John Fitzpatrick, Chevrolet Performance Cars marketing manager. "Based on the sheer number of Camaros displayed on the floor, and parked in the adjacent lots, the Camaro is clearly the hottest car of the show." [Source: GM] Post published on Rpmgo.com   |
| Volkswagen Golf VI Cabrio production to start next year Posted: 03 Nov 2010 05:22 AM PDT  In a recent press release about the Osnabrück plant future plans, Volkswagen announced that the Golf VI Cabrio will be manufactured here. With the introduction of the Eos, the previous generation Golf didn’t get a convertible version too, but things look like they’re gonna change with the Golf VI. Not sure what VW is up to with the new Golf Cabrio, because it would basically rival the Eos, but perhaps they’re going to place it a little more down-market and make it a little more affordable than the Eos. “Over the decades, some of the most beautiful models in the automobile world have left the assembly line in Osnabrück. We will be carrying on this tradition from 2011 with the new Golf Cabrio,” Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen said during the tour of the site. Lower Saxony’s Minister President David McAllister said “Many people dreamt of the Beetle Cabrio, the Karmann Ghia or the Scirocco. It is wonderful to see this tradition being continued now and to know that automobile production in Osnabrück has a future. The new Golf Cabrio will be a great car. The extensive expertise in cabriolet construction that is available here is being harnessed.” [Source: Volkswagen] Post published on Rpmgo.com  |
