Title: New camaro will be available in RHD..
Post by: philoldsmobile on March 22, 2007, 04:48:53 PM
stolen from pistonheads..

The following is cut from an internal news letter on our intranet (we're an vehicle finance company).

So, a RHD Camaro - woohoo!

"All future Chevrolets to be built as RHD models
ALL Chevrolet cars will be developed as world cars in future - and they'll be available in right-hand drive.

General Motors has restructured its product development for the brand, so different global technical centres will have responsibilities for different platforms. This means future Chevrolets will be developed all over the world, including Europe, with less reliance on the GM-Daewoo technical centre in Korea.

However, the decision comes too late for the retro-styled HHR mini-MPV. This US-built car was launched in Europe at the Geneva Motor Show, but as it's only built in left-hand drive it won't be coming to Britain. However, GM has confirmed that the new Camaro muscle car will be built in right-hand drive form, which makes UK sales as an image-leader for the brand a distinct possibility.

The first products of the new structure will be replacements for the Kalos and Lacetti models. These will be developed in Korea, which has responsibility for the C platform, and future Vauxhall Astras will share underpinnings. (Newspress: March 8)."

I wonder, no actually I don't really. But you can bet if the Camaro does ever make it here it'll be overpriced and under powered most likely with few options. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/down.gif)

I'll guarantee the rear bumper will be cluttered with "after-thought" fog lights and a massive cut-out for the Reg. plate . . . . Much like the fourth gens.

That being the case I'd opt for a US-spec one.
