There are only a few right hand drive markets. England and Australia along with SA, India and Japan. India is far too poor to be driving many Camaros, Japan has very highly regulated taxation for imports. Australia and England are really tiny markets, and England will tax the crap out of engine displacement. I think Ford pre sold 4,000 Mustangs for Australia.

So there isn't really a great business case here. The only hope is the ability to develop the RHD car (you would be shocked at the differences between LH and RHD) and certify it for those markets.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see it. I just would be surprised if we did. GM would have wanted/needed to make the ATS/CTS RHD well before the Camaro and has thus far not done that.
