GM to drop Chevrolet brand in Europe!!
Woo hoooo! Only the corvette will be sent to Europe from now on.
So I guess the refresh failed and now maybe they can do away with the euro-influence and get back to building the Camaro with an American muscle look. There is now hope for the 6 th Gen. Woo hoo

I am sure it's about trying to increase sales of Opels and Vauxhaulls, since both have been losing tons of money in Europe. Taking Chevy out of the picture will hopefully increase their market share.

Actually, if you're going to quote their statement accurately it says',"General Motors will pull most of its Chevrolet brands from the European market - except for the Corvette" and goes on to say [it will] "tailor its presence to offering select iconic vehicles -- such as the Corvette -- in Western and Eastern Europe..."
I think the second quote leaves the chance of continuing supplying Camaros to Europe, a possibility. Camaros may well fit into the category of "select iconic vehicles".

Regrettably, this is confirmed by Left Lane News.
On the sales side, this makes sense. There's Vauxhall, Opel, and Holden selling vehicles similar to Chevrolet internationally. It really doesn't make sense for a failing brand over there to continue when there's a ready replacement already present.
