Originally there were to be 100 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro's built. That was the idea from the
Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog, page 44, in 2010. To get one you had to call an (800) number
on October 19th 2010 at 12:00 E.S.T. and cross your fingers. All 100, were "snapped up", in under
3 minutes. They were to be delivered in April 2011 but that didn't happen. Those of us on the list were
informed in March 2011 that they would be delayed till mid-Summer, 2011. Once they were built and
shipped, only 75 of these cars were built in total ( 30 Manual and 45 Automatic transmissions ). There
was no actual explanation as to why the additional 25 were not built.
This one was built on July 5th, 2011 and was the 12th one produced. They were shipped in enclosed
trucks. I picked mine up on July 11th. Each of these cars has their very own Birth Certificate as well
as a window sticker with a M.S.R.P. of $75,000. Aside from the COPO Camaro, these are the rarest of
the 5th Generation Camaro's made.
I spoke to the actual company that painted the cars for G.M. in Michigan. I got ahold of them to see if
I could get some of the paint they used so I could paint the rear difusser the same as the body. They were
very helpful. The person I spoke to said G.M. asked him to paint a dozen cars then they wanted to see
them in person. When they did see the cars, they said the paint was too perfect. They wanted the "orange
peel" finish on the cars to look like all other factory painted Camaro's. Then he asked me which number
I had and I told him, the 12th. He said I got one of the "good ones". I asked him his opinion as to how much
it would cost to paint my other Camaro the same color. He said over $20K, easily, as they dismantled the car to
paint it. If you open the hood you will notice the engine bay is gloss black. Besides, this tri-coat paint is really expensive.
The window sticker calls the paint "Bordeaux", which is not the actual name after all.
The color is "Mystic Bronze Metallic". You will notice that is does not actually photograph all that well.
When you see one in person, depending on the light, it looks purple, brown, bronze or burgandy.
The paint on this car is perfect. No scratches, chips or dings. It has only been washed 1 time in 19 months.
It has been waxed 9 times. It is kept in an air conditioned and heated garage, under a silk Cover-King cover.
It has never been driven in the rain or even parked outside over night. The top has only been down 5 times.
Before it had 20 miles on it it went to Pro-Tech and got a clear bra treatment . It covers the entire front, lights,
mirrors, rocker panels and bottom rear quarter panels. They did an awesome job then jabbed me with a $1,600 bill for it ( worth it! ).
 Now, last thing regarding the paint. Devious Designs, here in Las Vegas, is the best in the business when it comes to painting cars.
 The owners literally said that this car has one of the best paint jobs they have ever seen in regard to quality, the wet sand, and the clear coat.
They are also the people who painted the other parts on this car.
The stock, all original car was , yes, really cool. But, I have never been one to leave it at that. Keep in mind that
I have all the O.E.M. parts and the car can be returned to "stock" with ease. In my opionion, I took over from where
the designers quit. Like I mentioned prior, I had the rear difuzzer smoothed and painted the body color. It just
looked unfinished and it really made a big difference. While we were doing that I had a Borla A-Tac cat back
exhaust installed, with an X pipe. It needed to sound like a Camaro, not a sewing machine. After that I installed
the roll bar. With the top down, it looked like it needed to look "tougher", and now it looks really much better than before.
The rims were exclusive on the car. The polish that was done it extremely nice but they didn't accent the cars
colors. My thought the Amber interior would benefit from a gold center mesh rim. I got ahold of Forgeline Racing
and told them what I wanted to do. Not only did I want a "one off" rim, but I wanted a center lock rim. They make
a custom kit that eleminates the lug nuts. They are very light, very cool and over $2,200, each. While that was going
on, we installed Eibach Pro springs to lower the car 1 1/2 inches, all around.
There was something bothering me about the front grille. There was no accent and looked like most other Camaro's. I
ordered the Heritage grille and had it painted the matte gray that the windshield frame came with, another big difference in appearance.
The windows got the latest 3M tint applied, not too dark , just right. The engine is left stock. It's hard to return a car to original if you start
doing motor work. It's a really rare car so I want the value to stay as high as it can. It got an oil change at 500 miles. The car has 960 miles on it.
That from going to some car shows and the Saturday morning car club meets. That is an average of 1.7 miles per day but is no "daily".
This is a great car to add to a collection or as a display for a car audio company.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax reportedly dead after 2022

Fri, Mar 18 2022

The Buick Encore will not get an encore, and the Chevrolet Trax is dead in its tracks. Separate unverified reports say the two crossovers, which are essentially identical underneath the sheetmetal, will retire at the end of the 2022 model year without being directly replaced. Citing anonymous sources, enthusiast website GM Authority wrote that production of the Encore and the Trax is scheduled to end in the third quarter of 2022. Both models are manufactured in Bupyeong-gu, South Korea, and General Motors will reportedly use the extra production capacity to build more examples of the Trailblazer, which outsold the Encore and the Trax combined by a significant margin in 2021. General Motors hasn't commented on the report, but we wouldn't be surprised if the end is indeed near for the Encore and the Trax. Buick released the Encore for the 2013 model year, and Chevrolet launched the Trax for 2015, but the model made its debut as the Opel Mokka in 2012. It's at the end of its life cycle, and sales figures reflect this: 20,072 units of the Encore were sold in America in 2021, a drop of 52% compared to 2020, while 42,590 examples of the Trax found a home, a 60% decline. It's further proof that Americans don't like small cars. Viewed in that light, the decision not to replace either crossover makes perfect sense. If the report is accurate, the Encore GX (which is not related to the Encore in any way) will enter the 2023 model year as Buick's entry-level model. The situation is a little more complicated at Chevrolet: The pocket-sized Spark is on its way out in 2022 as well, meaning that the Trailblazer will become the entry point into the range. It's a different story in Europe: Opel, which is now part of the Stellantis group, released the second-generation Mokka in June 2020.

GM to build next-gen Chevy Cruze in Mexico

Tue, Mar 24 2015

As one of its global products, General Motors builds the Chevy Cruze for local consumption at assembly plants around the world: in Australia, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, China, India, Kazakhstan, Russia, Brazil and Ohio. The automaker is expected to trim those locations for the next generation of its compact sedan, but its latest announcement has it adding a new site to the list: Mexico. As part of a $350-million investment, GM's plant at Ramos Arizpe in Coahuila will gear up for production as one of several sites that will be charged with building the next-gen Cruze. The General has yet to announce just which plants those will be, but it has confirmed that the Lordstown, Ohio, site will once again be among them. The plant in St Petersburg, Russia, which has produced the current Cruze, is being shut down, as is the Holden plant in Elizabeth, Australia. The Ramos Arizpe assembly plant currently puts together the Chevy Sonic and Captiva as well as the Cadillac SRX, but has over the course of its 34-year history handled a variety of models for the Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Saturn, Opel and even Saab brands. The site handles a quarter of GM's production in Mexico, and exports 87 percent of its capacity to other markets. Invertira GM 350 mdd en Ramos Arizpe para fabricar siguiente generacion de Chevrolet Cruze 2015-03-23 - Se consolida GM de Mexico como el sexto productor global de vehiculos para General Motors Company Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila - General Motors de Mexico anuncio este dia que invertira 350 millones de dolares en su Complejo de Manufactura Ramos Arizpe, para fabricar en estas instalaciones la siguiente generacion del modelo Chevrolet Cruze.

Hernandez, Presidente y Director General de GM de Mexico. En una reunion de trabajo en la que participaron Ruben Moreira, Gobernador del Estado de Coahuila y Rogelio Garza, Subsecretario de Industria y Comercio del Gobierno Federal, el Presidente de General Motors en el pais aseguro que el Complejo GM Ramos Arizpe se ha consolidado como un iman para las inversiones de la compania a nivel global.
