^Yeah, it will hurt it, but the enthusiasts will buy. Just like you guys over there have bought SS's instead of the capable LT models since you wan't a V8.
And I don't think an American car will EVER be cheaper here then in the US, but this official release will push the price down. If the Mustang was officially sold in Europe, it too would be cheaper.

Did they say they were building the car at Oshawa or even that the cars sold in Europe are being built in North America?

^I'd consider it likely that it's still to be built in Oshawa. I'm pretty sure all the Vettes over here are built in the US.
Could be wrong, would be happy to be since that would drive down the price more.

I am so happy that my new 2010 Camaro SS manual is in my garage waiting for that damn snow to go away. Can´t it be spring here in Sweden soon....!! Ordered it end of May and it arrived to me early November. Odometer reading is only 100 miles. I want to drive my car! It was not cheap to import this car to Sweden and I want to enjoy it NOW!

What's it liking being probably the only person you'll ever see in your city in a Camaro? How do people react to seeing a car no-one else drives?

In Italy,for example, taxes aren't any more based on displacement since the beginning of 90's. Until those times, VAT on gasoline cars with displacement lower than 2.0L was 19%, while over 2.0L it was 38% IIRC. Currently VAT is 20% in any case. Every year we pay a tax based on how much HP the car has at the flywheel (...) and it's about 2.60 € per KW, based on emissions. It could be higher is the car is old, because it's assumed to respect older pollution laws. The only tax that is based on displacement is the insurance, but the difference among my 2.2 liters bmw and a 6,2 liters camaro SS is just 30 euros per year. The car prices is just a political matter: european cars are cheaper in the Usa than in EU, even if you have to cross the ocean to transport them and even if you have to pay import taxes. If OEM want to sell a car in a market, they have to fit the prices according to the local market. It doesn't matter if they don't gain so much money there: they will gain more money in other countries, tipically in Europe and especially in Italy. Prices have nothing to see with euro/dollar exchange rate, or with shipping costs, or with import duties. Otherwise, european cars should be crazy expensive in the usa lately. In europe, and especially in Italy, we have smaller cars, with smaller engines, because we have few space and a lot of people live in small areas. So, on small cars, OEM fit small engines, which should have low fuel consumption. This is not true, but people still have this idea in their mind, and OEM and governments push on it.

OK, the new Camaro Convertible available in Europe next year!? Are you kidding me.Chevy cannot even tell us when the 'vert will be available here in the US and NOW thet are saying they will sell it in Europe?--What is wrong with these people?--They are trying to drive the price up on the car already by coming out with this only 20,000 units the first year.--I am fed up.I am buying a 458 Italia instead.

No offense to anyone! But I sure hope they fill the US orders first! They would have to. There would be a lot of very people if not. I know I have been waiting too long now and stuck it out for it to go down like that!

Hey good news I see. Happy for you guys in Europe (Speciellt Sverige) that are finally able to get some fun "New School" American muscle.
Have fun and stay safe. // Chris (Formerly from Gävle, now in PA) |

What about what about the US? The coupe is available now and the vert goes into production in 1 year, give or take 6 weeks.

BTW, 20,000 units? The 2010 Camaro has sold 67,000 so far with 85,000 2010's built with a few months of production left.

Finally some love for eu. Hopefully this will bring prices down, this makes me wonder what the price will be in eu.
The tax is no big issue for me as in my country we tax accoding to weight not displacement. |

Well considering it's at 499 000 Swedish Crownes (roughly 49 500 Euro) for new pimorted 2SS/RS with auto transmission I'm expecting it to go down a bit at least. A new IMPORTED Mustang GT is at 435 000 Swedish Crownes (a bit under 43 000 Euro), so I'm hoping at least around there. If they keep it under 500 000 I'm happy.

I am glad to see that Chevy is taking the Camaro to Europe! I work with a couple of guys from Europe and they all really like the Camaro. I am sure it will do just fine.
