  • Camaro gets right-hand drive

    Jun 02, 2008 1:26 PM

    Chevrolet has confirmed that the new Camaro will be converted to right-hand drive for the European market.
    Wayne Brannon, Chief Executive of Chevrolet Europe, said, “We can have a maximum of 1000 right-hand-drive coupés, and 1000 right-hand drive cabriolets, so the UK should get a good number of models.”
    Exact numbers of the 400bhp, 6.0-litre Camaro due to be officially imported to the UK are undecided, but senior sources suggest that it will be about 300 units of each variant.

    Big mistake GM, this car will get hammered by the europress. This will be a matter of the wrong car in the wrong market at the wrong time; the Vauxhall already fills this segment nicely.

     I don't agree that it will fail. No, it won't be up to European expectations, but neither is the Mustang or the 300 and you see plenty of them around. Their target sales are small and there are sufficient people around with enough desire to sell these - even in these benighted times.

    Personally, I don't want one, can't afford one and won't get one, but I'd love to see the odd one around - but then again I live in Spain and there's one Mustang and two 300s on this island, so I'll probably have a long wait.

    Isn't the Camaro off the Commodore platform?

    If the Camaro gets the OK for right hand drive, then there won't be room for Holden's Coupé 60.
