C7 release date????
G'day,
I was reading the motoring supplement in the Melbourne Herald Sun last Friday www.carsguide.com.au and saw an article titled "Aussie's Chevy chase" and it mentioned the cars that will be available at outlets called "GM Premium Brands" here in Australia. Currently these outlets sell [B][I]right hand drive Saabs and Hummers. Plans are to sell Cadillac and Camaros when they are certified for right hand drive.
The article goes on..."Chevrolet will follow Cadillac, probably in 2009, with the new Camaro, which has been developed in large part locally by Holden, using the same architecture as the VE Commodore."
"The retro-styled coupe won't be king for long though. The Corvette is expected in 2010. GM Premium Brands spokesman Neil Whitehead has confirmed that the classic American sports car is coming our way. Australia will get the replacement for the current C6 model, which is due in three years."
So there you have it. The C7 will be built in right hand drive and be available in 2010, but will more than likely come out shortly after the LEFT hand drive C7 is released in America and Europe.
