Despite the recent "runaway car" incidents -which everyone should know that they need to put their cars in neutral whether it be a Toyota or a Ford, I think that all the foreign car makers "get" it when it comes to reputation and image. see full Toyota Prius review |

Camaro has a history for being a muscle car. Lots of power yet durable and fun to drive. Back in the day the muscle cars had a rep for having poor handling but with modern technology Chevy has taken car of that issue. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

There it is...the "Camaro Image." Years of Z-28's and IROC's have completely set the expectation (and not totally inaccurately, either) that Camaro's are driven by mullet-sporting, trucker-hat wearing, Lynyrd Skynyrd-rocking rednecks. Doesn't matter that Chevy now offers a machine that can out-corner a Ferrari 458 and out-lap...well, pretty much anything. It's still a redneck racecar. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |
