Default Chevy camaro UK review

http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/chevrolet/camaro

Just found this on a brit car website and wondered how much we would be paying for one of these here in Oz ?? UK price works out around AU$53,000 am guessing it would be a tad more here

I dunno what a rawer is, but they seem to like the camaro. if it's anything like the HSV, they'd be blown away with the FPV.

tweeked, grey imports of the camaro are 130,000-150,000.

From the article:

From that point of view, it makes a fine grand tourer, a bit like a rawer, more involving and less sophisticated Jaguar XK.
Rawer = more raw.

I can't believe they failed to mention the horrendous visibility from inside the cabin. I haven't driven a new Camaro yet, but I've sat in one, and the windows are slits and the A pillars are massively thick.
