Geiger Cars Brings 2010 Chevy Camaro to Europe - €39,900 for a V6, €50,600 for a V8 SS

GM's decision not to sell the new 2010 Chevy Camaro in Europe (at least not in the near future) has opened the 'import' doors to companies like Geiger Cars. The German firm, which is also known for its tuning division, has announced the availability of Detroit's latest pony car to European customers. Though Geiger hasn't disclosed a standard list price, we found three brand new Camaros with zero miles (okay, kilometers) up for sale on its official site.

First up is a yellow-mellow Camaro 2LT with the 304HP 3.6-liter V6 engine matted to an automatic transmission. It is priced at €39,900 (apparently for the German market) or about $56,600 at the current exchange rates. In the U.S., prices for the Camaro 2LT start from $27,375 (MSRP) which comes to around €19,310.

The other two Camaros up for grabs are a red SS with an automatic transmission and a black SS with a manual gearbox. Both of course are equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers 426HP when paired to a manual transmission and 400HP when linked to the 6-speed automatic. Geiger has priced both cars at €50,615 or at about $71,800. If you live in the U.S., a manual Camaro 1SS will cost you a quite more reasonable $31,040 (€21,900) while the slightly better equipped 2SS, $34,225 (€24,150).

Chevy Cruze Transformers Bumblebee Edition: Made in China

From what we know, Chevy has no plans of introducing any other Bumblebee Edition model other than the one based on the new Camaro Coupe, but that didn't stop an avid Transformer fan in China from giving his Chevy Cruze sedan the full Autobot treatment. We're not sure if the project includes anything else other than the yellow paint finish with the twin black rally stripes and the matching details, but you can check out the modded Cruze in all its glory in the photo gallery after the jump.

GM: New Camaro Convertible to Hit Showrooms in Early 2011

Even though some media reports suggested the opposite, General Motors spokesman Terry Rhadigan set the record straight officially confirming that the convertible version of the new Camaro has not been canceled and that it will be available in the market sometime in early 2011. "The convertible was never canceled. It was retimed. It will be the first quarter of 2011 for the start of production," said Rhadigan. The GM spokeperson told Automotive News that the company's original plan was to introduce the Camaro Convertible that will be equipped with an electric-folding softop in early 2010.

"We always thought it would be one year after the coupe," he said. "Instead we are going two." As expected, Rhadigan told AN that the production version of the Camaro Convertible concept will be offered with the same V6 and V8 engines as the Coupe model that recently went on sale in the U.S.
