Front looks nice, still dont like the rear. Interior looks pretty rad, especially the screen between the gauges. Wonder if its like the new Audi Q7 that shows the sat nav there? Wonder if the VFII will get the 6.2 LT1?

Rumour VFII will come with the L99 which Is the AFM version of the LS3... Time will tell soon

[highlander_69r]

looks ok, rather the new corvette

[Xjas]

Damn that's ugly, interior looks good but I much prefer the fifth gen exterior.

Ew. Still more capacity but horrible collapsible lifters and shitty low-duration cam to hobble all the power.

[Ausmartin1]

Interesting sheet metal - the sharp creases, something that Skoda in the Czech Republic (Part of the VW group) next to Germany has already started since the metal press technology now allows it.
That's ok I like the hard edge, but I personally feel they put a few too many on the bonnet.
Looks sharp and glad they left out the lower chrome bling = black is classic.

One thing i don't care for is the horizontal "rim" around the bonnet, ideal place to drop some tools on at the dealership - but this is price of modern design.
Herd a rumour they intend to build RHD and export for the latest Camero version - is this really true ??, If so and it does make it to Australia.

I wonder how it will stack up against the Ford Mustang ? - Which is pretty pricey for a 4Cyl Turbo eco boost and even worse for the V8.

[QIKMIK]

Will the introduction of LT1 to Camaro pave the way for HSV keep a point of difference between its products and V8 Commodore? Something special for Gen-F Series II perhaps.

To me, that is porn on wheels! I love the front end........ :drool::jerk:

Wonder if we'll see both, L99 in the luxury cars and LT1 in the sports, the car has been snapped with bonnet vents and the L99 doesn't strike me as an engine that requires the extra air.

How often are vents actually functional?



It may grow on me but I can’t say I’m loving that new Camaro but that wouldn’t stopping me from considering one, though I don’t like our chances of seeing it here.

[Woodchukka]

Would be no complaints here if it was in my garage.

[QIKMIK]

I jumped onto the Chev website and it say they are functional. Engine choices are 2ltr Turbo, 3.6l V6 and LT1. 8-speed auto for the last two.

Can't say I think it is overly beautiful but it isn't ugly and really all I will care about is that Holden imports a V8 Convertible version. If so, I'll buy one.

Cheers, Matthew

8 speed auto's and 6 speed manual's, for all models...

http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2015/may/2016-camaro/0516-camaro-powertrains.html

From above,

"New Hydra-Matic eight-speed automatic transmissions.

All 2016 Camaro models are offered with new, Hydra-Matic 8L45 and 8L90 paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmissions.
The 8L45 is available with the Ecotec 2.0L turbo and 3.6L V-6 engines on LT models, and the 8L90 is available with the LT1 V-8 on the Camaro SS."

My comment wasn’t about the Camaro, it was in regard to the speculation the VFII will have bonnet vents.

[BigAnt]

I prefer the look of the Mustang. If they are sending something across the pond give us the Corvette.
Anyone else think the Camaro wheels look familiar? VZ Clubsport?

[Micks]

Seen both when in the US & really prefer the Cam. When I was a youngster...many yrs ago detested both Cars but the Cam. has grown on me.

[JJW501]

That dash is hideous.

The outside of the car still looks like a toy. It has no elegance or class about it.

How much does it weigh?

Is this actually a performance car or is it aimed at 17 year olds?

[dgp]

I love it.

[VX-SS-383]

Looks unreal id own one any day!

[Drizt]

I'd have one

[Xjas]

http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/2015/holden/holden-to-leave-muscle-car-market-to-mustang-51259

Make of that what you will.

[Drizt]

Holden is dead when the commodore dies.

[mjrandom]

Not much. He thinks the SS is getting an LSA.

[sjhugh]

It's not surprising to read the Camaro will be a no show.

I'd be surprised if we see the Corvette as the price point would mean even less potential customers than the Camaro.

[Blown 454 AWD]

I read a day ago we are getting the Corvette,::party:

Bosses say yes but operations man says no

http://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/corvette-for-australia-gone-in-24-hours-21299#.VVzsnvmqpBc

But as said, no Camaro :confused:

Keep in mind that VF SS starts at $42K, roughly the same as VW GTI, WRX etc so any GM offering should come in at this price point. Fords Mustang comes very close but will be the 4 banger 2.3T so misses the mark a little. All this talk of Corvette this and HSV converted Camaro that is a big fail when you consider the $$$. HSV Camaro or GM delivered Corvette will be a $100k purchase, dearer than VFGTS.

BIG FAIL GM!

Good luck for the future GM, currently 3rd in the global market behind Toyota and VW and descending, I suspect they will fall behind Hyundai within 3 years and they can only blame themselves. Toyota, VW and Hyundai are true global players, GM,....... not so much!
