Tom – I doubt that those who are looking at a V8 Sports Coupe would also be looking at a V8 Family Sedan and vice versa.
Therefore; If the Camaro is released in Oz its very unlikey to take sales away from the SS Sedan or Ute as they are in different sectors of the market.

If it is released here Holden would do better to rename it the Monaro as it has more of a History in Oz.. Just as the Monaro was called the GTO in the USA..

Although I doubt they will sell the Camaro/Monaro here.. there’s more chance of Holden making a new Torana A9-X Coupe

I’d love a Camaro SS, but the thing I dislike about my VE SS?
Can’t legally use it’s performance on any road.
It cruises beautifully at 140km/hr, which is virtually a “park it over there Son, & we’ll give you a lift back to the Station” type speed.
It has so much grip you can’t exploit the handling at any legal speed, & I’m very often stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

I’d buy one of these in a heartbeat, but it would be too frustrating to own.

Danman, this is an amazing car for what it is, go back to 2004 and it would have been faster and more sophisticated than the BMW m3 of the time, worth over twice as much… Be realistic.

No it wont come here…
GM doesn’t have the money. God does no one here read the business pages?
Share price the lowest since 1953 this week.. ‘talks with chrysler’ this week. Bankruptcy this year?

You’re probably right – GM won’t bring the Chevrolet brand to here.
A while ago GM/Holden did seriously consider selling Corvettes through HSV dealers. There’s no good reason why selling Camaros through HSV wouldn’t work – I’m sure there is a market for them.
As I said, I think it will depend on other RHD markets wanting the Camaro for us to be in with a chance.

GM won’t bring the Chevrolet brand to Australia as a “Premium” brand as Chevrolet replaced Daewoo in Europe a few years ago. Europe gets the Captiva, Epica, Lacetti (Viva), Aveo (Barina) and Tacuma (7 seat MPV not available here). In effect Chevrolet is GM’s “Cheapo” brand. I thought it was quite funny when I came to Australia and saw Commodores with their Holden badges removed and replaced by Chevrolet ones.
