Review: 2016 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible
Chevrolet introduced the sixth generation of the Camaro in 2015 as a 2016 model year, either as a coupe or a convertible, the latter being designed mostly for leisure cruises.
When Chevrolet followed the retro-design trend and introduced the fifth generation of the Camaro, it was a blast. It resembled the original 1967 version, and it rocked the pony-car scene threatening the Mustang. The sixth-generation continued the same design idea but with a meaner front fascia and a choice of three engines, including a turbocharged inline-four.
Its front fascia was slimmer, with a more angular, aggressive look. It seemed like the headlights were peeking through a narrow gap. On the bumper, Chevrolet installed a broad grille that cooled the radiator, and it was flanked by a pair of triangular air-inlets. The thicker A-pillars that supported the windshield were raked and short, while the back of the car was quite tall for the car's size. As an option, the carmaker offered a lip spoiler on top of the trunk.
Inside, the Camaro greeted its customers with bucket seats at the front with enough bolstering to help them stay in place during high-speed cornering. The bench in the back, on the other hand, offered limited legroom. Still, it was enough for two adults on short trips.
Under the hood, GM pulled some engines from its part bins and offered a choice of three powerplants ranging between 275 hp and 455 hp, the latter being a naturally aspirated V8.
