Carlton SalmonJun 15, 2012 I have to say at those prices you get a lot of bang for your buck, but unfortunately it won't sell in large numbers here in the same way the Monaro didn't. Too big, too thirsty and no RHD all count against it. It's a pity, as I really like this car.
Bob ThebuilderJun 15, 2012 Of rather have an Alfa for that money
Phillip GreeneJun 14, 2012 Quality isnt an issue its not the same in aperance the bmw has more wood trim and is more flashy but honestly iv driven 06 and up 7s, 6s and a few 3 series models and I would still take the camaro 2ss or zl1 8 days a week over those " luxury sports cars" which dont seem to have much torque till about 3.5-4k, just sayin its all about what you personaly look for in a car and I agrea I dont think th...
Patrick JosephJun 14, 2012 That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. I'm a big camaro fan. I love this car. But no right hand drive configuration is a massive turn off for me. And what's with the price? Forget that. Terrible marketing right there.
Patrick SchalkJun 14, 2012 I guess Logan doesn't understand the way the world works haha.
Jackson MichaelJun 14, 2012 Ya idk what would've made him think that
Kyle AndersonJun 14, 2012 @Logan I'm not saying the Camaro is a better car than BMW or Benz etc. I'm just saying the reason it is more in the U.K. than in the U.S. is because it is an import, therefore try have to raise the price to cover shipment costs, customs etc.
David GrayJun 14, 2012 Does euro spec mean they've made the car out of quality materials this time? :-)
Logan LeMonnierJun 14, 2012 @kyle why do you think bmws are so popular in europe? Muscle cars may be special but they dont have the same quality. And if Europeans are going to pay a lot more due to taxes they should get right hand drive
Quinn ConnerJun 14, 2012 Comparable in price, NOT to be mistaken with comparable in terms of QUALITY like a Benz or BMW. Haha
Kyle AndersonJun 14, 2012 The only reason the price is so steep is because it's an import, a Camaro for the UK is comparable to a BMW or Benz for the U.S.
gammo66Jun 14, 2012 gorgeous car & its great to offer it over here in the uk but the price of our road tax & fuel prices will mean it won't sell well like the monaro
Patrick SchalkJun 14, 2012 It'll be interesting to see how the Brits welcome the Camaro. The price is a little steep though.
Phillip ChanJun 14, 2012 Yeah would be good if they bothered to convert it to right hand drive.
Hank AustinJun 14, 2012 Yeah it's sorta like they took the number and just put a euro symbol in front of it...
Zeus MochaJun 14, 2012 Damn that's nearly twice as much.
Josh GroveSep 27, 2012 To get the LEDs you have to buy a special package called the RS package. Available on the 2LT 2SS and a couple more trims. It's optional.
Luis Erick Marcano SchmilinskyJun 28, 2012 No, the 2LT and the 2SS come with LED, I hear they will make the LEDs standard issue for all models
Chris PenzaJun 15, 2012 Only Europeans get the LEDs?

Chris PenzaJun 15, 2012 5.4 seconds is that right? It seems too long for me
Shane ConnerJun 15, 2012 @charlie best, well said. Not a fan of many American cars. American makers give too many choices in their models. Make it 1-3 ways and that's it. Wonder why they needed a bailout. To many options and money investing in too many options.
Charlie BestJun 15, 2012 I must not know anything ? Ok well that's fine guys. All I was saying is that the camaro is not an impressive car in " my opinion". I would rather have a German or Japanese sports car. The only us cars that are impressive are the cts-v and the zr-1
Michael NascimentoJun 15, 2012 Richard Hammond probably got the 1st one!
Carlton SalmonJun 15, 2012 @ Cody. The Camaro doesn't have a live rear axle, the Mustang does. The Camaro has independent rear suspension.
Quinn ConnerJun 14, 2012 @avery
Like stated, uk prices.
this Camaro costs £40,000/$85,000
New GTR costs £53,000/$100,000
New BMW M3 costs £50,000/$90,000
I'm sorry, the choice would be very clear to me if I had to take out a loan. One would just ask for a GTR over Chevy
Matt PiccoloJun 14, 2012 If jack means an Evo or sti over a camaro I'm with him :) either new evo or 03-07 sti for me please
Rubo HarutunyanJun 14, 2012 I'm sorry sir but the GTR is no decent car it's a pure beast
Good day to u
Patrick JosephJun 14, 2012 85k in US money. That's what £40k is worth approximately.
Camaro all the way though. It's sad that you need a gtr or an lfa to compare to a camaro. It just shows that Japanese cars are either plain pooh or mad expensive "decent" cars.
Stephen Tyler LearnJun 14, 2012 I think he actually only stated three cars. The gtr Evo and isf. Different trims don't really count in my mind
Abraham MendozaJun 14, 2012 Change the rules? I thought you would compare this car with others Japanese cars of the same price range cause that's what you're supposed to do. You don't see people comparing a Honda Civic Si with a Nissan GTR. Come now meow.
Callum MckayJun 14, 2012 My '70 GTO is just as quick... If not quicker than that to 60
Avery WilliamsJun 14, 2012 @Quinn Clearly you didn't read the article. The UK Camaro is priced around from £35,025 to £40,025. So where you've saw 85K Camaro, i'm not sure.
P.j. SingletonJun 14, 2012 5.4? In the U.S. the V8 manual hits 4.5 and the V6 is 5.7. Who's doing the test run? Jeremy Clarkson's mother?
Patrick SchalkJun 14, 2012 Guess you didn't read the article Quinn.
Quinn ConnerJun 14, 2012 You would start to change the rules. This will be the last time I prove you wrong since you will just complain and change things to your liking. :)
Gtr is 90k. This camaro in the uk cost 85k. I think that is a very fair comparison. Lol
Abraham MendozaJun 14, 2012 First of all, those Lancers are not mass produced and last I checked they cost around
$60,000. Camaro to GTR? I know I said cars that could beat it, but I didn't mean cars that cost almost triple the cost. Guess I should've been more clear.
Patrick SchalkJun 14, 2012 Hahahahaha Quinn you crack me up. Do you know how retarded it is to compare a GTR to a Camaro SS.
Matt PiccoloJun 14, 2012 Yea I'm pretty sure v8 is closer to about 4.7-4.8... It's definitely not 5.4
Quinn ConnerJun 14, 2012 1/4 times
V8 camaro, motor trend rates at 13.1
GTR spec v, 11.5
GTR r35, 11.7
Mitsubishi lancer mr fq400 12.2
Mitsubishi fq360 12.6
Mitsubishi fq340 12.8
Lexus is-f 13.0
That's 6 that (quote) " beat a v8 camaro!!
Have a good day
Abraham MendozaJun 14, 2012 Japanese performance? Name 6 new cars that beats a V8 Camaro.
Domi BsaibesJun 14, 2012 Numbers are wrong. Should be 4.5
Patrick SchalkJun 14, 2012 Haha Charlie must not know about anything. The numbers are WAY off.
Cody FullertonJun 14, 2012 *cough* live rear axle *cough*
Charlie BestJun 14, 2012 Camaro is a joke guys. Mustang blows it away, Chevy just can't keep up with ford's performance or the Japanese performance. Sad
Charlie BestJun 14, 2012 5.4 0-60? That sucks! 426 hp and that's all she's got? Not impressed at all for that engine or price. Major fail.
Cezary KoralJun 14, 2012 Those numbers are way off
Tom McleodJun 14, 2012 0-60 seems way slow considering the V6 does it in just a few tenths of a second slower.. That can't be right.

Patrick JosephJun 15, 2012 Pj did you not see I said I was looking forward to this. How is that hating. I hate the fact that Chevy just took the piss out of us and presents the camaro as a supercar worth 80k in your money. No wonder they nearly went out of business.
Ryan BiesbroekJun 15, 2012 Well this beats drivin your moms camry around....
P.j. ReaganJun 14, 2012 Well someone is a hate *cough* Patrick *cough*
Patrick JosephJun 14, 2012 All models sold......
I hope not a single one gets sold. It'll teach Chevy to go big or go home. What are we? Fools? I was really looking forward to this. What a disappointment. I feel let down.
Eli DirkJun 15, 2012 I think the lights look awesome on this camaro.
Cody GillardJun 15, 2012 i like those tailights they look pretty cool
Phillip GreeneJun 14, 2012 Afterburner kit looks better these look like a cheap led strip set
Matt PiccoloJun 14, 2012 Not a fan of this car either way, but those tail lights are nicer than ours for sure!!! Lol
P.j. ReaganJun 14, 2012 @Christopher, the next camaro generation is comeing out in 2015
Jamie PerigoJun 14, 2012 Tail lights look better than Us version
Patrick JosephJun 14, 2012 It looks dated cause it took its inspiration from the original camaro. Then I guess the challenger looks dated too. I find it to be bang on. That's just me though.
Christopher Alex MohamedJun 14, 2012 The look of the camaro is staring to show its age. An update is needed. Just a cosmetic update. No offense to camaro lovers.
Weston PilleyJun 15, 2012 Not a single US state offers a European-spec plate. I wish because I've checked and suggested many times to my local DMV that they offer Euro-spec, they just look more sophisticated.
Shawlyn WiesnerJun 15, 2012 This car looks freakin dangerous
Patrick SchalkJun 15, 2012 Do Europeans need bigger mirrors because they suck at driving?
Phillip GreeneJun 14, 2012 Those mirors are so bad looking and not the bad as bad I mean goofy as hell bro
Phillip GreeneJun 15, 2012 Yeah kinda but there auxilary gages most cars dont even have them at all its really just to be retro cuz the first gen had 'em
Paul DickeyJun 15, 2012 Those gauges are pointless down there.
Phillip GreeneJun 15, 2012 What ever dudes its all opinion, leather is leather, I like the sumple classic look I think bmws are too buisy and im 6'2 and I have no problem with head room or visibily and yes if I had 40k to blow I would definatly ditch the galant for a white 2ss with a flat black mowhawk
Domi BsaibesJun 15, 2012 Yep visibility is really bad. Challenger's interior is much much better than this
Ceyda Deniz GurlerJun 15, 2012 Hey philip, why you're so angry dude? Did you buy one of these And told to people.. Hey guys this car is awesome especialy the interior :D
Wilson LaFaverJun 15, 2012 Ya I have sat in a couple and visibility is really bad. Bad even for a sports car.
Matt PiccoloJun 14, 2012 I was in one a few months ago and yes, they need better quality interiors no dout.. They also need to make it so you have something to rest ur arm on if ur under 6"6 as I'm 6"1 and couldn't rest my arm anywhere... They also need to prove visibility!!
Phillip GreeneJun 14, 2012 Dude your so a picture whore go sit in one if these and then tell me it needs a better inerior you cant see quality in a picture you tool
Ceyda Deniz GurlerJun 14, 2012 Actually this monter deserves a better interior.
Riku HerukkaJun 14, 2012 The original camaro steering wheel looks better
I have to say at those prices you get a lot of bang for your buck, but unfortunately it won't sell in large numbers here in the same way the Monaro didn't. Too big, too thirsty and no RHD all count against it. It's a pity, as I really like this car.
