Well, the V8 Camaro SS have been selling for as much as 1.3 million RMB, and V6 used to cost about 700K RMB. (The unofficial imported ones in China)

There are tons of really nice cars like M3, 911, GT-Rs in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, while the Camaro is not as nice as the cars I mentioned(let's face it, Camaro is a great car but it's not the same class like cars like M3, 911, and GT-R), it's a lot more rare and really stands out. Some of the rich people in China will pay the extra bucks to get a nice car that's a little more rare. And money is not an issue to a lot of them.

Plus, the 'Transformers' effect will also boost Camaro's recognition in China. so if GM is smart, they should release a special edition Camaro in China that's the exact same as the Transformers 3 Bumble Bee and charge a 25-30% premium for it, and people will buy it.
