Lovers of American sports cars (and we know you're out there) rejoice, for the Chevrolet Camaro (above) will be made with right-hand-drive. In a press statement at the Geneva Motor Show, General Motors confirmed that all its new vehciles would be designed and built on a global basis, with right-hand-drive engineeered into all platforms from the get-go.
Global Chevrolet models, which until now have been exclsuvely designed and engineered in GM's Korean outpost (neé Daewoo) will now be shared with all brands as needs be, and development will be with world-wide sales in mind. Korea will still ahve repsonsibility for the next C-segment platform, which will create replacements for the Chevrolet Lacetti and Opel Astra, as well as a possible Audi A3 rival from Saab.
No plans to officially bring the Camaro to Ireland have yet been confirmed, but wouldn't it look great, sat in the showroom, between a Matiz and a Tacuma?
