This morning, we told you how GM CEO Rick Wagoner had just announced the automaker would put the Chevy Camaro Concept into production for the 2009 model year. Since then, some more details have emerged. According to trade publication Automotive News, Wagoner said unlike the Ford Mustang , the 2009 Camaro will have independent rear suspension. He also said the car might use GM’s cylinder deactivation technology to improve fuel economy. Even without that, he said the car will get good milage. “Remember, we produce Corvettes now that get over 400 hp and get 28 miles to the gallon.” Lastly, he hinted a convertible version may also be in the work. The car will come “in many shapes and sizes,” he said. Wagoner reiterated his belief that GM can sell 100,000 Camaros per year. [See our full coverage of today's event with 11 new images here].
