The new Camaro will make its European debut in Paris next month
Chevrolet will reveal its future line-up at the Paris Motor Show, with the Volt the latest to join the selection on offer.
The company will debuting four major new brands at the show in an attempt to prove its commitment to expanding its market share in Europe.
The first car on show will be the Cruze, taking its world bow in Paris.
On sale in the UK next spring, the localised British version will feature a range of 1.6 or 1.8-litre petrol engine, plus a common-rail 2.0-litre diesel.
Next up is the Orlando show car, Chevrolet's first entry into the European seven-seat compact MPV market.
Thirdly, there is the production-ready version of the Volt E-REV (extended-range electric vehicle).
Powered at all times by an electric motor, with a petrol engine to operate as a generator when the battery is depleted, the Volt can apparently go up to 40+ miles with no emissions.
Finally, the production Camaro is making its European debut at the Paris Motor Show.
The styling is faithful to the 1967 original, but has an advanced chassis and a robust 400 PS, 6.2-litre V8 engine.
Europe will see the new Camaro on sale in 2010.
