Smile Ordered the first "Italian" Camaro 2.0 Coupé EU version.

Hi there!,
I'm so happy to tell you guys that last Saturday I've finally signed the contract for my brand new Camaro 2.0 Turbo Coupé!!

I had the opportunity of having a test-drive with a car on lot and.. fell in love with it!

Ordered my European version with the following extras:
- Mosaic Black metallic paint
- Jet Black interiors
- Power sunroof
- Convenience & Lighting Package
- MyLink with navigation
- 20" inch wheels in Medium Android finish

The European version comes as the American 2LT car but with RS package + Heavy-Duty Cooling and Brake Package + 8-speed automatic transmission + Performance Brake Upgrade Kit Brembo 4-Piston Front as standard. Unluckily, they have deleted the bumper vertical LED DRLs.

I can't wait for September to come..

See you!!,
Eos

I've read the threads and seen all the issues that some cars had with Mosaic Black.. of course I will double check my car VERY WELL before I take acceptance of delivery. I'm very sorry for your bad experience and poor customer service.

I really hope it won't be necessary any kind of claim..

See you!,

Congrats Eos, too bad about the DRL's, they always do stupid stuff to these 'import' cars due to legislation.
How did the car feel performance wise compared to the other cars we have running over here. Anything you can compare it with?

I'm impatiently awaiting your pictures & review
Nick

They have been removed in order to get some extra air intakes for the Brembo brakes (they're standard). Don't misunderstand me: the main signature LEDs in the main headlamp units are still there. You will not see the vertical ones put into the bumpers.

Well.. I'm used to high power cars (Aston Martin's V8s and V12s) and of course the car is less aggressive than a 400hp Vantage. I must say that it drives well and quite fast, once the turbo is working 100%, but you can still feel a little bit of turbo lag when you push down on the accelerator. To be honest, I found the 2.0 Turbo very comfortable and smooth: I would define it is a fast car, not strictly a sports one. The chassis is big and heavy and the suspensions are not too stiff, but this is something positive if you want to drive it daily as I will do.

Me, too!! But it will take A LOT of time to get the car here in Italy.. :frosty:

See you!!,

Got no choice: the European version of the 2.0 Turbo Camaro only comes with 8 speed automatic transmission. The V8 can still have both, instead.

See you!,

See you!!,
