Monaro or Camaro
Discussion
Hopefully not a repost!
Well, these guys reckon it's a Camaro underneath the cut down Commordore platfrom. That would make sense as we know it's due next year........but did they have to make the window quite as close to the old Monaro?

That's the 2nd picture I've seen; it's a shortened Zeta platform (hence the rear door looking off) and it's pretty much certain that that is the first Camaro test mule.
Hopefully soon we'll begin to see the actual camo'd cars appearing (although works aren't finished on the tooling so it may take a while).

Apparently the car used for Bumblebee in the Transformers movie was actually a REPLICA of the Camaro concept, they put the Camaro concpet body on ^^^ that platform (the commodore one - possibly the one pictured above). Cant remember where I read that. Or was is it a documentary?
Anyhoo....

Ive read that the Camaro will be available in RHD. Whether Holden rebadge it like the Pontiac GTO was who knows. But I cant see GM these days developing 2 rwd coupe's with IRS at the same time, Makes no sense.
Camaro production is supposed to start Oct08 with availability Q1-09, coupe first then later on convertable.

Yes Bath thats what I think too. Swap some trim and badges and call it a Monaro. The name holds more weight in Oz as thats what they are used to there, not Camaro's.
Over here its a different story, will be interesting which way they decide to go as Vauxhall have been pushing the Monaro name since 2003, the old Camaro's died out before then and didnt really get the positive press the Monaro did, so maybe it will be a VX8 or something Vauxhally?

Chevy are selling it here - not Vauxhall. They've already said as much - in fact, ALL new Chevy models will be coming here in RHD; including the next Vette. Cool.
Bumblebee was a GTO (5.7, '04 model) with the exact molds from the concept used to create the body. So when you watch it, you're watching a Monaro.

I heard that when Chevy Camaro does come to UK it will be marketed through Cadillac dealers the same as Corvette is. Probably a better move than putting it in a showroom with Matiz and Tacuma. I can't imagine anyone going to buy one and coming out with the other. Still might leave room for a badge engineered Monaro then as well.
