I think Europe is a pretty small market regardless of engine. Everyone keeps forgetting about gas prices. If it goes up to over $4 gallon for reg nationally in the US, buying habits change. At $5/gal things get a lot different. In Europe it is $8+/gal now. Chevy/Ford are planning on $5/gal soon. Inflation has got to kick in once this artificially free money is done, I am thinking around the next presidential election.

If the Camaro does not have a low fuel cost motor option then it must move up market IMO, compete more as a Corvette, and sell at lower volumes.
