Hehehehhe.... I live in Etobicoke and i have a deposit on one.Dealer took my $1000 deposit real quick. Never said they aren't for sale in Canada.Mind you GTO didnt pass Canadian safety standards,and you couldn't get em here.

We get screwed price wise up here, so the states should be quite a bit cheaper.

Please send me the name of the GM Employee that told you that.

it's irresponsible simply because NO ONE at GM knows what we're going to charge at this point!

If the price isn't decided then there must be alot of calculators bursting into flames and worn down fingertips down at the bean counters offices between now and Nov 3..lol....

Visit the RIV web site to find out how to import a car into Canada.

I saved 17,000 on my Silverado.

I went to the Ford site and built a GT500 and I too think the ZL1 should be at least $62k or less. Any more would be ridiculous. Makes no sense pricing would be way more than it's own competition (GT500).

Any more than that and I'm canceling my order and sticking with my 2010 SS.

Price = $54,989.00 in Canada. Add tax, $6599.00, and total out the door is $61,588.00.
Now I KNOW you can buy them cheaper off the lot...so I'm SURE GM Canada has done their homework, ....cause if they are intending to come in at equal to or less than the Shelby price, I'm sure most people would be ok with that.

I also think many people may opt for a Shelby here in Canada if the price is higher on the ZL1.

Boss's are quite a bit cheaper..48-49 msrp up here, so that would be an option for many if ZL1 $ too high...yeah they are only 440hp, but still a cool car , and more power than the SS ..The BOSS is also quite different than a regular GT.

The "Different" factor being the important thing here, because a lot of people considering a ZL1 are partially doing so to separate themselves from the tons of run-of-the-mill SS's, mustangs etc. People tend to like semi-exclusivity, besides the extras the cars have to offer. This is also why Camaro owners desire for different colors is so great. Color choices are a cheap ticket to more exclusivity(?) for customers of all levels, which is why I have a hard time with Chevrolet not providing more color choices for people...but I am skewing from the topic..
Camaro's have always (pretty much) been a car you can set yourself apart from others with. Thats what people want out of a car that is more than just transportation. And Camaro's and Mustangs are and have always been MORE than just transportation to their owners.
peace out.
