Well, I work in Port Melbourne, and I drive past HEC (Holden Engine Company) every day. I see Pontiac G8's at least 3 times a week, and all manner of assorted things. I've even see a Daewoo badged Statesman.
Anyway, they're all a bit naff, but yesterday arvo I spotted a Camaro, taped and masked up, being towed out of the HEC gates. Couldnt have been anything but a Camaro, was very distinctive. I wonder if the rumours of a Chevy return to Aus might be a little more accurate than first thought? |

GM doesn't own Chrysler or Dodge. Charger is powered by a 6.1 Hemi, not an LSX. Charger Vs. Camaro is like Falcon Vs. Commodore. They'll be direct competitors.

But they are completely different engines altogether. The Chrysler is a Hemi for a start.

Hmmm, Holden powered Mustang. Theres no big coincidence at all. Its just a number that measures displacement, any company could make one the same displacement, with wider or narrower V, longer stroke with shorter bore, or vice versa. |

Unfortunately if we do see the Camaro (which we will) it will most likely be badged as a Monaro.

Holden is doing the development for the chassis of the US Camaro. There is a video on Youtube about the Camaro prototype and the PR executive of Chevrolet states they are getting help from "our aussie friends down under".

I can't tell you how many times you were wrong in that sentence if you were serious. As for Camaro - Bring it on. Ford failed to bring us Mustang, Chrysler won't give us the Challenger, but Holden might allow us to own a Camaro. Probably going to be better than a Mustang, that's for sure.

GMH are well advanced in the Camaro program, although, as said previously, I’m not sure what they will call it here.
