With 2022 now winding down, it’s a great time to reflect on what transpired over the last year. Indeed, 2022 was chock-full of interesting stories and developments at GM, including for the Chevy brand. Now, we’re rounding up the top 10 most popular Chevy stories of 2022.
2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 Debuts
It should come as no surprise that the debut of the all-new 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 tops this list. As the next level in performance for the C8 Corvette lineup, the Corvette Z06 packs a wallop thanks to the mid-mounted, 670-horsepower 5.5L V8 LT6, singing its naturally aspirated song up to an 8,600-rpm redline. Further go-faster Vette variants are expected to debut in the near future, but for 2022, the arrival of the Corvette Z06 was the big headline.
2024 Chevy Camaro Set To Offer Heritage Edition
The ultimate fate of the Chevy Camaro nameplate remains somewhat uncertain, with the current sixth-generation Chevy Camaro likely exiting for the 2024 model year prior to the nameplate’s reintroduction as an EV. However, before it makes its exit, the 2024 Chevy Camaro will offer the Heritage Edition package to mark the Camaro’s ICE roots.

Happy New Year!
I have been a strong Chevy buyer from 1965. My new 2016 Silverado HighCounty ha engine and transmission issues from day one. Chevy changed the transmission fluid but didn’t fix it.
They still won’t do anything to fix there design issue. Faulty engineering.
I or my family won’t be buying anymore GM products. John
