Iconic to Its Core
The Chevrolet Camaro is more than just an
American muscle car. It has helped shape the automotive industry in the US,
inspired generations of performance car enthusiasts, and even influenced pop
culture – making the Camaro a highly coveted vehicle to this very day.
Born out of competition, the Camaro was
designed to be a leader in the personal coupe market. Since Chevrolet sold the
first Camaro in 1967, more than 5 million units of the vehicle have conquered
open and city roads in various parts of the world. In a span of more than 50
years and six generations, the Camaro has won various accolades including Motor

Icons
at the MIAS
The world’s fastest-growing vehicle
segment is the sports utility vehicle (SUV) and it was born wearing a bowtie.
In 1935, Chevrolet introduced the Suburban Caryall, an eight-passenger vehicle
built on a half-ton commercial truck chassis. Today, the Chevrolet Trailblazer
takes decades of Chevrolet SUV expertise and applies it to a tough yet refined
SUV package perfect for modern customers.
Alongside Chevrolet’s leadership in the
SUV segment is the brand’s more than 100 years of building strong, dependable,
and legendary trucks. The truck heritage DNA runs through every piece of metal
of the Chevrolet Colorado. With the power and durability of the latest pickup
truck offering from Chevrolet – the Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm – the
bowtie brands offers the market with a seriously capable truck that you can
have fun with.
The Corvette
is the world’s longest running continuously produced sports car and the
best-selling sports car in America, commanding a third of the segment.
Corvette’s legacy was forged in 1953 when it was introduced at the General
Motors Motorama show in New York City. The Corvette Stingray Coupe is the
latest iteration of the award-winning seventh generation of the legendary car. Each has
been defined by all-new or significantly revised design, architecture and
technology features – including powertrain and chassis/suspension technologies
– that have helped Corvette maintain its position as the best-selling premium
sports car in America.
