Japan edition Camaro???
So, I realize that other contries may have some different restrictions on cars, but I don't get why the grill would need to be different?? Anyway, saw this on a Japanese show Best Motoring. No clue what they were saying but they pitted it against some Mustang and like a 2005 Mercedes???? Anyway, kinda interesting to see.

Oh, I know. I was thinking of some of the worried comments about features on that car making it here...

It would be SO easy to integrate the turn signals into the mirror on the existing model without turning it into a pregnant guppy! Whassup with that? Sheesh. I can only imagine all the aftermarket things Japan will make for the grill...glowing strobe for a bowtie for starters. The yellow reflector almost looks like an afterthought from an RV bumper.

Yeah, I'm not upset that we didn't get these features!! Oddly, the bowtie on the rear had the same black 'guard' around it. Not nearly as clean looking on any of it really. Those mirrors really could use some help too!

The "yellow reflector" you mentioned, will actually be rest of the world spec amber LED turn signals,fitted to differentiate between flashing brake lights. That conversion does look a bit cheap though. |

The only thing I scratch my head about is the bowties... the rest makes perfect sense. Though it may be cheap and ugly, its a DOT requirement overseas.

Reflectors are for Sissies... (and apparently, the Japanese).
I DO like the recessed bowtie in the front grille, though.

Btw -- is there any way to tell if Chevy was responsible for this car, or an aftermarket seller? I'm curious, because I thought they hadn't entered foreign markets with the car, yet. |
