Who cares? It's completely irrelevant to the thread.
He is not a petrol head in any way but he has had numerous cars for this his wifes Megane convertible brand new was 2500 for the year again less than depreciation. His current car is a Mitsubishi warrior.

Once you've paid an additional 25% in import and VAT fees, paid a grand to have the lights converted and it SVA'd and MOT'd, and paid 2k to have it properly shipped over, it's a damn fine line.
But you'd get the exact spec you want, possibly even in RHD? So I'd say it's worth it if you don't need the car in a hurry!

No RHD - not unless you import it from Australia (or pay an immense fortune if you can find a specialist to convert it) - but then you'll be paying about 30% more on top of the original price

Thought fox said he allways used to lease his cars so he's gonna be stretching himself to this i would have thought, also an american V6/8 is hardly practical is it
Yea he must be poor as he leases a 5 Series. Awesome logic there

28K and 40K bit out of your price league i would have thought maybe just lease a Mondeo or something until you can afford to buy something nice
Dont you currently lease the BM?

yeah that could easily be taken to mean g/f wants the camaro as the current family/couple car, the current one being the 5 series, dont be so daft.
This is costing 2X the national average take home pay.
He's got a 5 Series he leases with his work car allowance. This is completely independant of his girlfriends car choice and his girlfriends employment.
It might well be a pipe dream but we've seen nothing to suggest his girlfriend cannot afford the car, no stupid questions which give it away as another stupid dreamer thread, so to link the thread to the fact he leases a 5 Series is completely irrelevent.
Yeah you're right. It's me that's being silly.
Much as it pains me to say this....the LLT V6 actually might be the better option. 312hp from the MY2011 cars onwards, more than reasonable fuel economy, and with tuning goodies just as available as they are for the LS3 and L99 V8s. Jay Leno had a Camaro with the V6 built for SEMA the other year with a couple of turbos bolted on. It made all the horsepower of the LS3 V8 motor (426hp is what GM will admit to for the LS3 in the Camaro, quote it any higher and the insurance companies would run for the hills
), but with better economy and lower weight.No RHD - not unless you import it from Australia (or pay an immense fortune if you can find a specialist to convert it) - but then you'll be paying about 30% more on top of the original price
They're coming in RHD
edit: Odd. Official GM statement says yes, other sources say no. So maybe?

No, they'll be LHD still - as they'll just be imports, sold on by specialists or some instances associated main dealers
WTF are you on?

You sound like a jerk. Funny, but a jerk.
