    HSV Camaro auto only

    Huge assumption all Aussies want Autos! Very disappointing!

    Interesting to see ballpark a price , am sure they will find buyers but auto only would surely put some off.
    Hope it's safety rating is better than the Mustang.

    Going on the listed specifications these should actually perform quite well.



    I also think they compare quite well on price to the last of the VF GTS HSV so I don't think they will have much problems selling at least the first batch of them.
    (I can actually imagine a bit of a waiting list for delivery.)




    Hey at least it's a start, be interesting to see what upgrades & special editions come out in the next few years.

    Yes but at least Ford with their Stangs offered both, even if their interior/consoles were a bit clunky!

    Yeah, I would actually prefer a six speed manual to an eight speed auto as well!

    that is the $64,000 question
    why isn't SPECIAL vehicles doing something special? NOW??

    the whole thing (inc the trucks) seems to be a token offering from Holden to keep HSV alive.

    Loss of manufacturing AND loss of HSV.... can you imagine the uproar?

    Re: HSV Camaro auto only

    And they’re only bringing the coupe. I suspect it’s auto only to keep the conversion process cheap and simple. One spec, Choice of colours.

    I’ll wait for the factory RHD convertible auto. Hopefully with all the internal machinations in GM it will actually happen.

    Good to see Holden and GM are still giving the middle finger to the Australian public.
