2019 Camaro launches in Russia with wannabe SS model

So Chevrolet announced that the new 2019 Camaro is coming to Russia. But it's kind of strange, they will only offer a model pretty close to a 2LT RS with the 4 cyl engine. But the frontend will still offer the SS styling


You can also see the typical export model changes like clear sidemarkers, bigger mirrors or no SS badges.

Still butt ugly. Why do they always fail with the refreshes? Got some contract with interns that need something on their resume or do the real designers bail after the debut of a new generation?

That’s because all the regulations on cars are based on motor liter size.

Displacement based taxes, tell me about it...

They basically force you to pay a gas guzzler tax every year without any consideration of actual mpg (l/100 km) values...

That’s still somewhat reasonable, here it’s over 5K Every year. Hence the 4 cylinder

Same here in Italy (taxes are close to 6,000.00 EUR per year), of course excluding insurance costs!! The V8 is now getting a new ecofriendly fee of more than 2,500.00 EUR at the first registration!

See you!!,
