However I'd say that the Camaro, and partly the Challenger too, take a difference approach. They have independent rear suspensions and the Camaro boasts a direct fuel injection V6 engine and 6 speed gearboxes across the whole range. They seem to have upped the game for the Mustang certainly.
The Camaro looks like a very decent big and specious coupé, especially in V6 guise. Unfortunately I doubt there's much of a market for a big non premium coupe in Europe. And here most people don't knpw about the Camaro and its history.

imo, the independent rear suspensions and the 6 speed gearboxes were already absolutely required when the Mustang debuted, so the only thing about the Camaro that is worth to be notice is the direct injection.
I wouldn't buy them though, here or in NA, even knowing their history.
It isn't that they aren't worth the "few" money they are asking you, b ut I feel them as not so reliable, maybe because of the big fuzz built around them as if they were something groundbreaking or something. they are just cars in my book, nothing special.
