By the way -- NEVER assume that you will not see the new Camaro in Sweden! We intend to offer this nameplate in many many countries -- and we know we have a VERY STRONG Camaro Club in Sweden! (I get their newsletters with regularity!)
Thanks and the same to you!

I know, I'm actually quite surprised that I've gotten this enthusiastic about this all myself. As said I wasn't that into cars before but really am now.

The remark about me not having a chance of seeing it was more about the reports of the trailer with the now photographed interior being driven up the polar circle trough Sweden.

I do not for second doubt that the Camaro will make an appearance in Sweden, in fact I've checked with a respected dealership and they confirmed that they are indeed importing it when it is released. I know that there is a BIG American car following here in Sweden. For many it stands for having something different then just your regular Volvo (and yes even Saab) and also for many it's a culture that's lived since the 50s with the imports of that time. The only real difference about the entusiasm about muscle cars around here and in the US I think is that around here muscle and American cars are so much more rare, I even get a bit exicted when I see a Charger and more so a Mustang because I know that these people are at least a bit on the same wave length as I.

I look forward to having my yellow Camaro with black stripes and fully joining my American car enthusiasts here in Sweden and taking part in many a crusing nights to come.
