Wow.... $58,000 for a Camaro... I assume they are not going to be shooting for volume in the UK. Plus witht he price of Petrol over there... that will be one car with a high cost of ownership.

I'll believe it when I see it, but the rumour is getting stronger and stronger

The Holden Monaro (Pontiac GTO) sold over here for £36000, so I reckon the Camaro won't be any cheaper. And petrol is nearly £5/gallon, so it'll only sell in the hundred, not thousands.

Yeah that is very expensive. The best thing to do is buy this car in US (cheap prices, because of dollar) and then import it to Europe. The only problem is that we need to pay again 31% of tax on the invoice price.

I've done this with my Hummer H2 and I paid in total 45000€.

For the petrol price. We have in Europe LPG and this price is very cheap. With this it's even cheaper then the gas in US. 0,35€/liter.
