Austrailia killing the manual in the Camaro... smh

https://carbuzz.com/news/chevrolet-c...before-arrival Hoping this trend doesn't phase into the U.S. Losing manuals in popular performance cars anywhere is a bad thing.

Woah, that makes for an expensive Camaro regardless of transmission!

So is Australia the only RHD market where GM will sell the car?

Seems odd to make it LHD and convert upon import on a new car.

I'm not sure. But it's a bad sign for the next gen camaro. If they decide to go with a performance DCT. Maybe no manual might be fine? But as good as my 8 speed is... I'd love the DCT.
