Chinese Camaro fan gives life to the first ever Bumblebee Cruze! - Camaro Forum - 2010 Camaro 2011 Camaro / Camaro Z28 SS Forums

As featured on homepage.

I got a real kick out of this one. No you're not seeing a photoshopped stretched Bumblebee Camaro. What you're witnessing here is the work of a BIG camaro fan in China who decided that he couldn't afford the $200,000 price tag of a Camaro in China. What does one do in that situation? Take your current GM produced car (a Cruze in this case) and paint it up not to resemble any old Camaro, but the Bumblebee Camaro!

Thumbs up to his engenuity and efforts

That's great.

But GM needs to hurry the **** up and get this car stateside...

Agreed! Good to see GM's marketing reaching all parts of the world.

Jferrell88 · 06-04-2009, 01:12 PM

Thats BA, best looking cruze I've seen

Steeler NY · 06-04-2009, 01:16 PM

Does abybody find it odd that a CAMARO cost $200,000 in china???

Good job on on the hot looking car!

mjrchabot · 06-04-2009, 01:19 PM

Very nice. I was up in the air still about the Cruze, but those pictures may have assured me it can be a sweet looking ride.

pinkcamaro10 · 06-04-2009, 01:30 PM

awwwh it's cute!

ClaymoreZ28 · 06-04-2009, 01:32 PM

Very cool and really nicely done - thanks for sharing this

I recently had chance to visit Shanghai and was blown away by how many American Brands I saw there.
American cars are viewed as very desirable and high quality

Scarily enough they love KFC and they are now seeing Starbucks popping up all of the place

THE EVIL TW1N · 06-04-2009, 01:41 PM

looks like a dodge front end.

nUcLeArEnVoY · 06-04-2009, 01:51 PM

WTF, why is the Camaro that expensive over there? Get this kid a Camaro! That Cruze is pretty sweet, though. Next best thing, I suppose when the Camaro is that pricey over there.

moto-camaro · 06-04-2009, 01:59 PM

woah! cool!

just curious, any idea why the front and rear bumpers had to be removed?

Nova65 · 06-04-2009, 01:59 PM

If Camaro's are worth $200k in China, I would gladly sell my car !

Suskam · 06-04-2009, 02:02 PM

That is rediculous.

my guess is because of the shipping fees and costs, and there's probably a bunch of taxes and fines in order to bring in a foreign car. the horsepower and engine type may also cause some taxes and fines. but, these are just my guesses...

ssrsheaven · 06-04-2009, 02:08 PM

Looks like imitations are everywhere, other than that not bad.

DDustiNN · 06-04-2009, 02:12 PM

Morepwr · 06-04-2009, 02:16 PM

Not bad at all. And he probably didnt even have to pre-order!

diddiyo · 06-04-2009, 02:17 PM

i think we should be happy that somebody out there is this enthusiastic about a GM car

RyanG · 06-04-2009, 02:24 PM

Next year I want to get my wife a Cruze just as a daily commuter, if it looked like this, I buy one faster.

I'd have a Camaro and a Camaro Jr.

I wonder if he put all the Autobot emblems on it...

I'm guessing that's not in US currency, $200,000 in chinese currency is $29,265.01 in US

LAWMAN · 06-04-2009, 03:09 PM

LOOKS KINDA NEAT,...YOU WOULD HAVE TO THINK THE $200,000 IS NOT AMERICAN DOLLORS THOUGH,.......?

Has to do with Exchange rate 1 us dollar = 6.83318 Chinese Yuan Renminbi.

So with that said They would cost as follows....

Camaro LS $23,040 USD = $157,436 Chinese Yuan Renminbi
Camaro 1LT $24,675 USD = $168,609 Chinese Yuan Renminbi
Camaro 2LT $27,375 USD = $187,058 Chinese Yuan Renminbi
Camaro 1SS $31,040 USD = $212,102 Chinese Yuan Renminbi
Camaro 2SS $34,225 USD = $233,866 Chinese Yuan Renminbi
Plus import tariffs I'm sure.
