Chevrolet->ke199 has just announced the new Camaro->ke248 with a long name. Whereas most versions of this muscle are two letters, this one is called the XM/Accessory Appearance Package. You might want to right that one down in case you need to remember later.
This version of the Camaro provides plenty of kit for a low price, something that the American car companies are quite good at doing. It will provide some appearance and accessory options for the 1LT model.
“The XM Accessory Appearance Package is all about affordable style,” said Russ Clark, director, Chevrolet product marketing. “Our intent was to create a special, customized model – including 21-inch wheels – that could be had for around $30,000, a popular price point for today’s Camaro buyer before they add accessories.”
The 1LT will offer up the base 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 with 312 horsepower and 29 miles per gallon, which is not as good as the Mustang->ke428. Add the package to the car and you’ll get a rear spoiler, unique grille, and 21-inch wheels. You can see this model when it hits the floor at SEMA.

The new Chevrolet Camaro is a major hit with consumers because of its blend of desirable power, efficiency and design. Another important part of the Camaro formula is value. Chevrolet developed the XM/Accessory Appearance Package to provide new accessory and appearance options customized for the popular and affordable Camaro 1LT model. A production version of this package will be offered in the spring of 2011.
“The XM Accessory Appearance Package is all about affordable style,” said Russ Clark, director, Chevrolet product marketing. “Our intent was to create a special, customized model – including 21-inch wheels – that could be had for around $30,000, a popular price point for today’s Camaro buyer before they add accessories.”
The XM Accessory Appearance Package is based on the Camaro 1LT model with the standard 3.6L direct injection V-6 engine featuring 312 hp and EPA highway fuel economy of 29 miles per gallon. The accessory package includes a rear spoiler, unique grille and Chevrolet Accessory 21-inch wheels. When it goes into production in 2011, the package will include a one-year subscription to XM Satellite Radio.
