Euro 4 or Euro 5? :) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Andrei · 01-19-2009, 02:05 AM

Hi there, this is my first post and i would like to excuse my sloppy writing but i didn't have time lately to practice it

I am writing from Romania/Europe and as i saw the new Camaro will be shipped also to Europe. I am a big fan of the car since i was very little and i am looking to buy first thing it reaches europe.

Questions:
Does anybody know when it will be shipped to the rest of the world (europe, australie, etc.) and (i know this isn't a problem in the US) what is the emission standard euro because in my country the higher the CMC and the lower the emission standard(euro4-euro3 etc) the higher the first registration tax

Thanks

2004 Cadillac SRX
2004 Holden VZ Commodore

So far it seems that most of the 2007-2008 production models that have this type of motor have Euro 4 standards.
Euro 4 means i will have to pay 5000 euro's( aprox 6500 dolars) for the first registration tax :((
Euro 5 would only cost me 2-300 euros(500 dolars)

Camaroconvert · 01-19-2009, 12:48 PM

OUCH!!! Sorry to hear about the expensive registration tax, but I am glad to hear our Euro brothers intrested and enjoying an American Icon!!!!

drivingincamaro · 01-19-2009, 01:18 PM

i think the 3.6 DI is going to be on the g8 in 2010

cosmin haraga · 01-26-2009, 05:53 AM

even if its euro 5 you'd still pay euro 4. happened to friend with a honda.
there is no calibrating machine in romania for euro 5. as far as i know and believe me i checked. only 3 euro 4 : daewoo, renault and voluntari rar, all for euro 4 level.

Xanthos · 01-26-2009, 11:37 AM

That sucks... we don't even have emissions testing where I live...

Andrei · 01-26-2009, 02:14 PM

even if i tip the guy from RAR to give me an euro 5 pass....could that work?
If not, i'm hopping that by the beggining of 2010 things will change...just in time for the camaro here in europe

Europe loves their small engines even if their supercharged or turbocharged vehicles put out almost or as much co2 . They should just tax your gas as expensive as it already is the more you use the more you pay. You may buy this car to take out every few weeks and the guy with a moped that puts 100 miles on it every day is putting out 20 times as much CO2 as you but he pays nothing, and the environment is not any better off for it.
