Chevrolet of Europe has officially confirmed that it will introduce the Camaro, both as coupé and convertible, into its 2010 model line-up.
The European market will get its first glimpse of the Camaro at the Geneva motor show alongside an all-new people mover based on the Orlando concept and the Aveo RS concept.
Chevrolet is planning to add five new models into its European range by 2011 with the Camaro positioned as its flagship.
Unfortunately for European buyers, markets which base tax on engine displacement are unlikely to find the Camaro affordable when it debuts with a 3.6-litre V6 engine and 6.2-litre V8 engine.
Exact European specifications for the Chevrolet Camaro are yet to be announced, although it is unlikely that we will see any major changes.
This is pretty much confirmation of an Oz bound Camaro. While some die hard Holden fans may be disappointed the Monaro wont be resurfacing, we will be getting its Grandson (spiritually)
I think this car will do great in Europe. The new styling of this Camaro really compares to the larger coupes that might already be on the roads over there.
This car will fail in Europe just like many American cars! The only advantage is price starting from 29,860 Euro. European car with same performance cost around 10,000 Euro more like BMW 335, Mercedes C350, VW Passat R36. Maybe it is a nice car but I prefer European car.

That may be true of other American cars, but not the Camaro – which was engineered in Australia
I disagree. I believe the Camaro can sell as Im sure the build quality is somewhat better than what the Yanks historically pump into Europe.
The car has also received heaps of publicity thru Transformers so any euro chappy who wants to stand out (in Europe) would consider one.
Lack of ability thru corners doesnt matter per se. There are many reasons as to why people buy cars and they arent all about driving.
the camaro is built on the ve platform they love the car over there !!!!!!
I think they should do what Honda did with Accord. One for US market and one for European market than maybe is will be a success in Europe. Otherwise is a good racing car. ( 24h Le Mans )
I would love to see this car be a success in Europe but I really can’t see it happening.
I think the Camaro might not work in Europe because of it being distinctly American. Europeans do not seem to like American automobiles – ask Cadillac and Chrysler. Now, the Camaro might work in Australia if it is priced well; 100k and you have a looser on your hands, 60k and you are on to a winner.
Screw Europe. Send it here so I can admire it on our roads. I don’t think it matters where your love of cars lies, this is a very good looking car. I’d happily see a shed load of these and the Mustang driving around in Aus. They are exciting cars.
