Camaro Convertible Recognized as “Muscle Car of the Year 2011”

Love it or hate it, the Chevrolet Camaro convertible is here to stay. While some might think that having especially a hefty V8-wielding drop-top is a bit silly, the convertible model has brought more options to the car-buying public and more attention to the Camaro model in general. As we found out from General Motors, this has resulted in the Camaro’s most recent recognition. It seems that the folks over at Evo Middle East magazine are quite fond of the Camaro convertible, and have chosen the model as “Muscle Car of the Year 2011.”

The guys over at Evo Middle East, a magazine distributed across the Middle East region dedicated to the “thrill of driving,” were fans of the fifth-gen Camaro coupe when it was first introduced. According to them, the convertible model added even more edge to the iconic muscle car.

When the magazine announced their selection for the Muscle Car of the Year honor, Editor-in-chief Bassam Kronfli told GM, “We were big fans of the Camaro Coupe when it was launched in 2010. Now it’s available without the roof, which means there’s nothing between you and that glorious multi-cylindrical woof. All the better for really soaking up that muscle car feel.”

Equipped with most of the same features and configurations as the coupe models, the Camaro convertible definitely broadens the choices for automotive enthusiasts looking for a little bit of open-air action. With an optional V6 or V8, we can see why Evo was instantly taken by the car.

President and managing director of General Motors Middle East Operations, John Stadwick, responded to the Camaro convertible’s recognition by Evo, saying that GM is thrilled with the award.

Congratulations goes out to General Motors for the recognition of the Camaro convertible. With the ZL1 set to hit the market soon and the convertible ZL1 model announced, we can’t wait to see who else recognizes the Camaro models for their dominate presence in the automotive market.
