    You obviously have never owned or driven one. They are just slightly better then a WB Ute on it's side!

    Camaro maybe badged as a Monaro (with some Aussie style changes) would make most sense. Being a VE/VF undercarriage it's partly Aussie anyway and better looking overall.

    GM Worldwide needs "world" cars to survive.

    The Camaro was originally to be sold here as a Holden Camaro I remember reading, but whilst the car just survived the GFC it didn't survive in RHD. It was fully Engineered here in Australia for RHD though. I bet it drives better than the Corvette too. I read a magazine article comparing the Camaro with the Mustang, they couldn't believe how much better the Camaro was.

    Believe me, a CV8 drives infintely better than a WB! The best way to describe how my CV8 feels to drive is "like a go-kart". You sit low to the ground, stiff suspension and no-profile tyres means lots of bumps are felt, you can steer with the throttle or the steering wheel and it is fun to drive. My only regret is they never fitted the 6L80E box to them, if they had there would be many less manuals sold than were!
