Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
GM in detroit seem to be the only ones in the world that cant build a car in RHD and LHD, everybody else seem to be able to do it. Funny thing is if Holden can do it then GM Detroit should be able to the reason they dont they dont care. They have the whole we will tell the customers what they want to drive instead of the other way around
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
i'd prefer a RHD vette here, i like the Camaro, but the vette is quicker.
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
Ford dont build their F-Trucks THD and dont plan too im told
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
The Camaro is a 4(ish) seater, where the Vet is a dedicated 2 seater.
I prefer the Vet but the Camaro might be more practical seeing as we already have a 2 seater.
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
It's a nice idea, but I'll belive it when I see it.
Holden will be looking to import models at a price point that encourages volume. They need cars through dealerships for both sales and servicing. Look at the manufacturers who are kicking goals business-wise, and how they do things as a hint. The biggest problem GM has is that it's run by yanks, most of whom can't imagine a world beyond US shores. Building world cars (like Toyota, Hyundai and Mercedes, for example) is just not something they 'get'.
They'll give us a Chinese made front wheel drive and tune it locally, or we'll get a rebadged Euro. And neither will do any good. Australian's associate Holden with locally made vehicles.

This is good news for Chev fans in a round a bout way. If the V8 Mustang is going to be around $60k then hopefully GM will be pressured into bringing the Camaro in around the same numbers. $60k for a Camaro starts to look ok.

FORD planned an international LHD/RHD platform from the start, a 700 day plan, it's also why it offers a 4 cyl engine, to get into europe.
As for the inclusion of a Line Locker, Why not , for fun, the guy in charge said.
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
Pretty sharp pricing for the Mustang. $55k for V8 Manual Coupe in 2015, that's about $2k cheaper than what a V2S1 manual V8 Monaro went for when released in 2001.
I hope I can get an auto V8 Camaro convertible for a similar to Mustang price in 2018. That would be great. Have to wait and see.
Cheers, Matthew
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
Things are looking pretty sweet for my impending mid-life crisis.
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
Meh, old hat.
Rather a new Mustang, would even go the ecoboost just for a bit of fun.

I find it interesting that the rims on offer are 19" alloys and are 9" in diameter??? The V8 version has 19" alloys with 9" and 9.5" diameters. Obviously these are car nuts writing about this stuff :doh:.
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
Yanks still have no idea when it comes to interiors and quality control, unless you ask them of course.. :-p

Ever been in a Cadillac CTS-V? Fit and finish just as good as Mercedes, not up to Audi's level but then again who is? In general though yeah the interiors are pretty average, every time i see the interior on the Mustangs i cringe.
Re: Holden Camaro IS COMING!!!
The latest Corvette interior looks pretty good as well.
