KPOJ · 21-03-2009, 08:13 PM

Are these going to be released in Australia.

kenz · 21-03-2009, 08:29 PM

I thought I saw a silver one about a month or so ago and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me

azaxr8 · 21-03-2009, 08:40 PM

I'm not a fan of chevies, specially that.

EL_futuraistic · 21-03-2009, 08:43 PM

I don't think its coming here, however Holden is doing most of the research and engineering work as underneath is based on the ve global rear wheel drive platform.

Ive seen a black on LHD and a silver one also around Melbourne.

XR6_190 · 21-03-2009, 08:48 PM

Holden has done the chassis, and it was meant to take over the Monaro's place in GM Holden's local lineup. However due to GM's recent cash woes, the RHD version is one of many to get the chop, so sadly for some no camaro for Australia (not me, I was never a fan of the new camaro).

SVTVNM · 21-03-2009, 09:40 PM

Seen a black one inbound on the Calder FWY about a month ago!

KPOJ · 21-03-2009, 09:42 PM

A black one lives around the williamstown area, seen about 5 times from a distance.

I quite like them with the "Bumble Bee" paint scheme.

BPXR6T · 21-03-2009, 10:13 PM

I'd buy one in a heartbeat of they went on sale here.

snappy · 21-03-2009, 10:17 PM

I buy one even if it came with a holden badge, Looks mean ,aggressive 2 very important things to me when it comes to styling . Sleek and stylish just aint me.

Yeh, Holden would've put their badge on only for the Holden folk to put the Chev badge back on, like they do with the SS's etc.

But I do like the styling, except for the front that looks a bit wierd.

Who needs brakes when you have a gm 7 litre pushing you along.

XR_Strider_GuY · 21-03-2009, 11:55 PM

I let Monaro go, if this makes it here in RHD this will be my next car if the prices are CV8 equivelant.

You have to make it to the cliff first, did you think of that

Powdered Toast Man · 22-03-2009, 12:56 AM

Like XR6 190 said it was going to be sold here but due to GMs financial woes the RHD version has been axed.

Yeah Fishermens bend is doing much of the engineering here since it is based on the Commodore's platform. I have seen numerous LHD test vehicles on the Monash.

I think they were actually going to sell it here as the Chevy Camaro to make the most of it's heritige. It would just be wrong to re-badge it as a Holden.

That pic posted is of the concept car. They actually used the concept car when they made Transformers. The stunt drivers had to be very careful not to damage it.

Kaan · 22-03-2009, 12:59 AM

Not my type. I would rather bmw m6

open your eyes, they're right there.
The transformers movie was filmed with that prototype, so it has brakes.
As if anyone would bother to build a car without brakes

KPOJ · 22-03-2009, 02:39 AM

Maby the calipers get in the way once transformed.

KPOJ · 22-03-2009, 02:45 AM

Even GM makes mistakes. At least they have identified the issue.

But seriously it has tine brakes for a muscle car, or are they keeping 60s traditions.

GTpilot · 22-03-2009, 09:02 AM

Passed one on Thursday night heading nth on the top end of springvale rd. (Melbourne)
was Silver Convertable. Also LHD.

Only noticed it because it was LHD car.

Nikked · 22-03-2009, 09:06 AM

Its big...

bangm001 · 22-03-2009, 10:02 AM

Nice with the bumble bee stripes, must be more yellow tho! The Top Gear guys turned me off of this after there review, although they did test it with 2 others cars (cant remember now) that made it look stupid!

dave289 · 22-03-2009, 10:04 AM

some nice angles and lines with this car but the grill looks shocking.

Elks · 22-03-2009, 11:03 AM

I also saw that burgundy car 10.00pm ish Burke Rd Camberwell. Looks good.

the brakes are fine, they look small because the rims are big. 60's brakes were drum brakes, so i don't think there is any comparison there. Massive discs and calipers are either for circuit racing or for

factor. They don't stop you any better, they just fade less.
