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.

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.

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.

I would love to see this car be a success in Europe but I really can’t see it happening.

That may be true of other American cars, but not the Camaro – which was engineered in Australia

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 )

Agree, one of reasons they fail is they drive and turn like whales,they need to set the car for the european market .

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.

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.
