With much of the American auto industry in peril at the beginning of the new decade, it may seem like an unlikely time for a company like Chevrolet to stage a successful comeback - but with sales of new models of some of their classic designs on the rise, they seem poised to do just that. Car trends may come and go, but convertibles have demonstrated an enduring appeal, thanks to their unique combination of luxury and excitement. Even people who know next to nothing about cars usually have fantasies about driving a convertible down the highway with the wind in their hair and the sun on their back. Unfortunately, not all convertibles are created equal - and if you want the full top-down driving experience, you're going to have to choose your convertible with caution. Chevy offers two models that are excellent choices for convertible fans: The Camaro and the Corvette.

The Chevy Camaro is an American icon, but in recent years it has begun to seem dated and fallen out of favor with car buyers. In 2010, however, Chevy reintroduced a Camaro with an impressively updated design that is sleek and modern without sacrificing the classic Camaro look. Fuel efficiency on the vehicle is also better than ever - an important consideration with the rising cost of gasoline weighing heavily on the minds of motorists. And, perhaps even more significantly, the auto experts at Ward's recently awarded the Camaro with one of their prestigious Auto Interior of the Year Awards. Like the car itself, the interior of the Camaro combines modern sensibilities and technology with the classic look that made the Camaro famous all over the world, and the end result is every car lover's dream. Gauges are easy to read yet elegantly unobtrusive; an ambient lighting system creates a luxurious mood for your driving experience; and USB ports allow drivers to hook up mp3 players so they can listen to their music in style, among many other features. The Camaro is no longer synonymous with a bygone era of muscle cars; instead, it is a viable and exciting option for modern drivers from all walks of life.

Similarly, the Chevy Corvette is a vehicle that established itself early on as an icon of American culture. Even little girls pretended to drive their Barbie dolls around in model vettes. Yet, somewhere along the way, the Corvette began to slip in popularity in terms of actual purchases. Fortunately, much like the Camaro, Chevrolet has decided to revamp and revitalize the brand for an entirely new generation of car owners, as well as classic Corvette enthusiasts eager for a brand new model for 2010. For fans of American sports cars, there is simply no better brand than Chevrolet. Whether you prefer a Camaro or a Corvette, it's clear that Chevy convertibles are making a huge comeback in the twenty-first century auto market.
