Possibility of Camaro making to Oz.. again

Holden Commodore | GM | Chevrolet Camaro | Detroit Motor Show

It's interesting to note that US fuel consumption legislation could limit the number of Commodores sold in the States.

It'd be good, but I think it will depend how far "beyond" $75,000 it gets.
Nice car, but it'd be a shame to see the prices jacked to the Corvette levels to get one here, is it any cheaper to get is assembled here and would that dodge a lot of tariffs etc?

If anyone wants to pay 75 grand for a VE with different shaped metal on the lid then good luck . I don't think it should be more than the price of shipping difference

I'd think about it. It's a wee bit different to a VE. Just depends if they improve the interior or not between then and now.

I'd have one.. in Z28 spec of course.

The funny thing is if HSV offer one, Aus might get a Z28 before USA ROTFL.

Z28 will get the LS9 in 2011 if those GM pussies let it get built so there's 550ish HP right there.

I would take a Commodore in exchange for the Camaro.

awesome, i always loved camaros, if i got one id have to debadge it, chevy badges are ugly IMO

[S.O.S]

If they can't offer the camaro in between holden top end and hsv low end cars, don't bother selling it. It must be priced between both.

instead of everyone plonking Chev badges on Holdens, they could put Holden badges on Chevs

Agree.
Its not refined enough to be at the upper end of the car price spectrum, but its also above the average bear as well.
In any case, they would see well if they choose not to gouge the **** out of people for what is essentially the VE platform with a few mods and different sheet metal.

Perfectly said. What is basically VE shouldn't be priced as premium.

Regardless of it's quality, as said it will only appeal to a niche market. Sure the car is only worth so much, but along with all the tariffs and extra costs of bringing the car over (unless by some miracle it can be assembled over here) and ensuring GM/Holden/Chev make a profit, it will be priced at a premium above it's value. Unfortunately because it is a sick car but it is just a souped up Commodore with a different shaped body with a big V8 in it. It's like buying a Mustang over here. They're worth like $20 - $30K in USA but over here they're $100 +.

I reckon anywhere from $75 - $90K will be the price tag.

$75k was the number I hear from GM mother ship. It won't be assembled here. Comparing the price of cars in Aus to overseas doesn't work either due to exchange rates and different tax structures. Holden do have the advantage of a heap of export credits that they can/will/do offset against their imports to lower the tarrifs.

True. Though I think it's still a little overpriced for what your getting, due to reasons you have previously stated as well as myself and others.

[Dz811]

i may be treading sacred ground here, but although i absolutely LOVE the front of the camaros.... is it just me or does the back look ugly?...

[HamaTime]

Don't get me wrong, they're a tough looking car. I love them!
