One of the most anticipated cars set to come out, the 2010 Chevy Camaro has chosen ExxonMobil’s Mobi 1 as the factory and service fill endorsed motor oil for its new line of vehicles. The new 2010 Chevy Camaro is equipped with the high-performance Corvette-inspired LS3 engine, which is a 6.2 liter, V-8 engine that can deliver up to 426 horsepower enabling the Camaro to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. It is available in either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and gets an estimated 24 mpg on the highway.

With such a powerful engine from one of the highly anticipated cars set to be released, there is no question why Mobi 1 was selected. The 2010 Chevy Camaro is set to be released by 2010 in North America. A convertible version will also be available by 2011. The vehicle is currently available in Middle East.

Bad news for people who were looking to find comfort on the 2010 Lotus Evora. Though many expected it to be a car built for 4, it looks like it will only be built for two.

Lotus plans to keep the Evora hype going by adding new features to the car each year – including a paddle-shift gearbox and a high-performance supercharged variant – culminating in a roadster model in 2012. However, to make room for the convertible top, Lotus engineers had to do away with the Evora’s rear seat.

“It’s not going to be easy to fit the roof in,” Steve Crijns, the Evora’s exterior designer, told Autocar. “It will have to go in front of the engine, where the rear seats are now. The rest of the car has been designed with the cabrio in mind; the doors, for instance, are styled so that they can accommodate the system without any changes.”

Crijns also revealed the Evora will do with a soft top rather than a retractable hardtop. The decision to use a more conventional soft top will not only save on engineering time but will also keep the car’s weight down.

Car owners are trying to wise up their vehicle needs by turning towards own maintenance measures rather than buying new vehicles in the market. And to make sure that they properly maintain their cars, 3M has an array of products for their vehicle maintenance needs. Americans now look at their cars as valuable assets worthy of investing time and elbow grease to keep them running and looking good, so shows the second annual 3M “Elbow Grease Economics” national study.

In “Elbow Grease Economics”, a study of 1,835 car owners in the United States, 3M Car Care found that a growing number of consumers are taking their car maintenance into their own hands — and on their own driveways – as their household budgets continue to tighten and their economic fears grow. And the younger generation of car owners ages 18 to 34 is even more focused on caring for their own cars, creating a new wave of automotive do-it-yourselfers.

Key findings of 3M Car Care’s “Elbow Grease Economics” include:

• Just over one-third (36%) of car owners consider their car to be one of their biggest investments, although for those making between $50,000 and $75,000 annually, this increases to 42 percent.
• Nearly half (49%) of car owners are dependent on their cars to get to work or find a job. This is even higher among men ages 45 to 54 at 65 percent.
• More than one-third (34%) of car owners feel they have to take better care of their car now because they can’t afford a new one.
• For some respondents, the economy is so worrisome that 3 percent say they are afraid they might have to live in their car if their home is foreclosed.

3M Car Care offers an entire line of consumer car care products, all based on its high-performance professional products, to make it easier for consumers to take care of routine maintenance and car appearance projects. It also offers easy to use kits for tune-ups, headlight restoration and other tasks with all of the products needed for the job in one package.
