In an interview with AutoWeek, Fritz said that he’s feeling optimistic about the upcoming Chevrolet Spark, Cruze and the Orlando 7-seater – all due for a 2011 model year.

As for the Camaro, Henderson says that while the muscle car is great halo vehicle for Chevrolet, “it can also be a core model” since the V6 Chevy Camaro gets 29 mpg on the highway.
