Camaro sells out in Japan

Looks like the "American Revolution" is extending across the Pacific. Even though the Chevrolet Camaro has not even gone on sale yet in Japan the country has met its maximum amount of orders planned. 120 orders have been placed for the V6 and V8 versions of the pony car which will be available with a price from around $45,000 to $56,000.
It is interesting that the American straight line pony car would be so popular in a country all about drifting and flashy body kits (watch "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" for examples).
The Camaro has also been a big hit in the states and has outsold the Ford Mustang over the past few months. Something that hasn't been done since the beginning of the pony car era.
It will be fun to see what the kids in Japan will do with the iconic car.
