I so wish that GM had actually done what they said that they would and gotten the Camaro on the road in Australia.

I dont care what they badged it as – badge it as a ford for all i care if thats what it takes to get it here!!

Would rather it was sold as a Chev here though as that is what it is. I think a lot of die-hard Monaro fans would be screaming blue murder if it was sold as a Monaro though – I would know I live with 2 of them!

Having driven one of the old 69 Camaros I would love to see how this thing handles in comparision. Badge it as a Chevy, sell it at a HSV dealership and get it out on the road

holden & chev are family so why not share the camaro with us aussie’s after all we could use something new to boost holden sales.

Whooo boy, I think all three yank retros look good, Mustang, Camaro and Challenger.

Noname/Cupid Stunt, most of my kms are highway/small city. One of these would suit me fine ;-)

Shelby GT500 Super Snake, that’s what this country needs, or the return of the GT-HO..

..and sooner rather than later!

It looks far too retro, Mustang has taken styling cues from it’s past and blended them nicely into a modern design. Unfortunately this is far too close a copy of the ’60’s original.

New Mini, Beetle, Fiat 500 and Mustang all show how it should be done.

Tis nice and i’m sure we’d all love one but it ain’t PC. Is there a real need for a 373Kw daily driver in a congested urban environment. That what I really struggle with.

Where do I sign & how much?????????????

C’mon Holden, I know the Monaro is at least 2 years away from being re-released, why not capitilise on a market that needs a car like the Camaro to help boost sales.

Only downside to it all would be the 18-25 year old “doff doff” lovers going out and buying one and then wrecking it with fake Transformers stickers

I would like to see Australian engineered Camaro be sold here in Australia. I don’t really care how they choose to, as long as it is sold here.

Either sell it as a Chevy with its bowtie and all, in Holden dealers, or set up a new specialty dealer (so other brands can also come in) or… just slap on the Holden logo, and a Monaro badge. Save money in having to set up a new dealership network.

Is there anything wrong with a Camaro being badged a Monaro? I would delay my saving up to get into the property market to get one of these.

Camaro or Monaro, bring it here (in RHD of course)!!!

I’d rather see Holden sell Chevsy in selcted dealerships [alongside HSVs] instead of those god damn ugly caddies.

That way there is the possibility of us getting the new
HH-R Nomad which would be perfect as a modern version of the iconic Sandman

Having said that I actually prefer thle ook of the Challenger which Dodge/Chrysler should try to import as theyve got virtually nothing else left in the way of a Real Car

Selling the Camaros in Holden yards would make them more accessible and therefore make more sales.

On the other hand, adding Chevrolet in the GM Premium Dealships (next to Saab, Hummer and so-to-be Cadillac) would allow them to add other Chev cars, like the Corvette, so the line-up. That could be good…..

Definately they should bring it here. Lots of people think it’s a good looking car, inside and out. And seeing as we’re not getting a Monaro anytime soon, this will fill that void nicely until the Monaro does come back.

Also, given that Americans will get the car fairly cheap, surely it can be sold here without being stupidly expensive.

If the Camaro SS was the same price as Commodore SS I’d certainly consider one….

I’m not sure why there’s so much hate around this one…I love the yellow color and the inside looks pretty comfortable to me – I’d drive it!

Oh geez lets not get into this bloody price argument again please!

I’m pretty sure Holden has already made public that if they sold the comaro in Australia it will be sold as a Chevy and will be sold through the new Cadillac dealer network that will pop up next year when Cadillac is launched in Australia.

Probably cost around 60k is my guess

Joober…..Not just population size we have more taxes on everything including cars! BUT i wouldn’t want Australia to have Americas health system, social security system and all the other things that make this country great! So i won’t complain too much!!
