Spotted new Camaro

[Falcon Coupe]

Driving home this afternoon i spotted a new Camaro driving down the Sth Gippsland highway, maybe heading to Lang Lang proving ground.

It was black with white camouflage patches all over the upper body, i did not get pics as it was driving in the opposite direction, a friend of mine with connections to HSV said he is taking delivery of one at the end of the year.

Even with the camo there was no mistaking the tough look :

That is not the Camaro.. Do you actually read or just go "oh pretty pictures" :

It is the Buick Lacrosse (Epica/Vectra replacement).

I wonder what they will retail for, are there any more details on what we will get here, power plant wise?

[sfr rob]

Sadly I have spoken to the Chrysler people and the Challenger won't make it here within our life time. If it was I would not be driving a GTP.

bugger,well theres a good business idea for somebody, import Chargers and Challengers, im positive theres a market for them, especially the Hemi's.

I thought they were only going into production in the US at the end of this year. Regardless is this a definative answer that they will be available here in Aus?

It has already been anounced that the Camaro is confirmed for Australia. It is definite.

Can you send me a link to this confirmation? My missus is a camaro nut and wants one of these to park next to the one she already owns. Sadly she hasnt been able to find out anything about Australian release.

Those Challengers are almost as sexy as the originals. I'd still rather one with a 426 hemi and a 4 speed...... when am I gonna win lotto dammit!

They shouldnt be under camo, they are being driven around without camo as it is here in Australia.

hahaha sorry, but no he is not.
HSV maybe but not a private buyer (sorry if you meant he works for HSV and he will be driving their test car)

The strange thing is, if you look closely at the 2 pictures of it, the white camo one in the outback and then the black one on the road, they both appear to have the same Vic rego (WHH011). Holden obviously swap plates over on a regular basis on their test cars.

Sorry, all I see in that photo is a mid 70's F100... Will have to google "Camaro"

[rennie]

That interior is well.......unique ;)

[flappist]

The car is prototypical of most things american. From the outside, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, it is new, powerful, advanced, ground breaking, refreshing, leading and desirable but as soon as you look closer and go inside it is ugly, banal, chaotic, confused, idiosyncratic, gauche, anachronistic and parochial.

I suspect it will do as well here as the FTE Mustangs..........

Unlike most FPVs and HSVs eh Flappy :-) :

No, HSVs & FPVs are the opposite, stylish on the inside and ordinary on the outside, which is probably not a bad thing.......
