Well it looks like the Camaro will make it to the UK officially, which means the boys at Topgear may feature it in this coming season.

GM UK has finally announced that it will begin official imports of Chevrolet’s American muscle coupé, the Camaro, this year.
The first official UK car will be on display at the Goodwood Moving Motor Show on Thursday 1 July.
The exact date for UK availability of cars, and their price, remains to be confirmed, but unlike those imported by third parties, official Camaros will have a UK warranty.
Residual values of existing imported cars are likely to suffer as a result.

Not sure if they will just be importing LHD models or if a RHD version will be available, I'm sure I remember reading GM were not going to bother with RHD due to costs and lack of demand from UK and Oz.
UPDATED WITH GM PRESS RELEASE:
HERE COMES THE CAMARO!
* Iconic Chevrolet will go on sale in the UK
* 6.2-litre V8 426bhp Camaro will arrive in 2011
* Official announcement at Goodwood Festival of Speed
One car is set to create a bigger buzz than most at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as Chevrolet announces that its Bumblebee themed Camaro marks the launch of the new model in the UK.
Building on Chevrolet's iconic US Heritage, the retro-styled Camaro has been on sale in the USA since 2009, and has already seen sales in excess of 200,000 as American retailers cleared their waiting lists.
And very soon, those waiting to get their hands on an official Camaro in the UK will have reason to celebrate - the car will go on sale as an official Chevrolet, complete with full manufacturer warranty, during the first half of 2011.
With looks that draw heavily from the styling of the legendary 1967-69 Camaro - immortalised in song in Bruce Springsteen's Racing in the Street and on the silver screen in both 2 Fast 2 Furious and Transformers - the car is a full four-seater, with an interior that also takes significant cues from the look of its forebears.
The Camaro will be available only in top level V8 trim - the 6.2-litre 426bhp powerplant is as much of a legend as the Camaro itself. It promises a top speed electronically limited to 155mph, and a 0-60mph time of less than five seconds, coupled to a dynamic chassis that, thankfully, owes little to the layout of more traditional muscle cars.
Final specification details and prices will be announced closer to the car's 2011 launch. In the meantime, potential customers can register their interest at
