i don't think this will ever happen.
have a look at the corvette's prices.

US MSRPs
C6 Coupe $48,930
C6 Conv $53,580
Z06 $74,285
ZR1 $106,880

German MSRPs
C6 Coupe 65,290€ = $89,447
C6 Conv 74,950€ = $102,681
Z06 88,150€ = $120,765
ZR1 135,990€ = $186,306

any doubts that the camaro will share the same pricing destiny?

Wow, and I thought OUR dealers are bastards.

Just made a rough calculation:
2SS for about $38000.- (under 40000.- swiss francs)
shipping over the pond in a container for 2000.- swiss francs
tax and importtaxes SFr.3500.-
all the stuff to get the car on the road: SFr.4000.-
that sums up to about SFr.50000.- ($46500.- / €34000.-)

Dont know if I forget something important.

It makes me very sad that the article referred to the lack of 4-banger as "unfortunate." We have a hard enough time convincing people that a V6 is a real Camaro, and some people want to see it with 4? I know gas taxes are ridiculous over there, but come on!

I don't really have time with exact numbers now, but the Chrysler 300C with the 5.7 HEMI starts at about 425 000 SEK (about 42K Euro) and that has a slightly higher starting price in the US IIRC, so a SS under 500 000 SEK is not a unrealistic notion.

I certianly don't mind a strong turbo four, tune them right and you get awesome performance. But it's just not the right kind of engine for the Camaro.
