The Car Doctor talks Camaro with John Fitzpatrick (radio replay)

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Our good friend John Paul (aka the Car Doctor), who hosts his weekly radio show on WROL, 910am Boston, had a chance to talk to John Fitzpatrick, Marketing Manager of the Chevrolet Camaro this past weekend. John and John discussed a recent 5th gen Camaro meet-up in Georgia, the new Camaro Synergy edition, and how great of a deal the V6 Camaro is. The entire show is an hour long but the interview with John Fitzpatrick is up first and lasts 16 minutes. The rest of the show is just as good, so don't stop listening after the interview. Check out the full show replay after the break.

Awards handed out in the automotive industry are as easy to come by as penny on the sidewalk.

Chevy is on a roll with the Camaro and it's currently outselling Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. That makes it just about the right time to introduce a limited edition run, wouldn't you think? So, starting in February and ending in May, Chevy will allow customers to order the lime green "Synergy Special Edition" Package in limited quantities. The Synergy Edition Camaro will run based on the 1LT package, featuring the 304-horsepower V-6 engine. Buyers can choose between a manual or automatic and the car also features a standard rear spoiler, Cyber Grey rally stripes, and 19-inch sterling silver painted wheels. The interior hue is also updated with Synergy Green trim. “Synergy Green continues a long tradition of dramatic Camaro colors,” says Camaro historian Scott Settlemire. “Some of the most sought-after Camaros are first generation cars – those from 1967 to 1969 – in Hugger Orange, Daytona Yellow, and Rallye Green. Just as those colors helped make the first generation Camaro an icon, modern colors like Inferno Orange, Rallye Yellow Transformers Edition and Synergy Green will define the 2010 Camaro.” Read on for more pictures and the full release.
