The Camaro Goes to China
Camaro Officially Named 科迈罗 (Ke Mai Luo) for China
2011-03-22
Earlier today, SGM announced that Chevrolet will introduce the legendary Camaro sports car at Auto Shanghai 2011 in April. The Camaro will have a sonorous Chinese name - 科迈罗 (Ke Mai Luo). The Ke Mai Luo with a 3.6-liter engine will be priced around RMB 500,000.
In recent years, China's luxury sports car market has been flourishing, highlighted by the midsize luxury segment (priced at RMB 400,000--800,000), which grew 141% in 2010. At present, this segment is dominated by cars with European design. The Camaro, with its "masculine" styling, will be a welcome addition.

They sell the Camaro in Korea as V6 only as well. There are very very few V8 vehicles in China. They are extremely expensive to purchase and fuel. I think the only V8 GM sells in China is the Escalade which is about $140k US there.
