As a symbol of how confident GM is of the resilient Chinese car market, here a sampling of their ads for the new Camaro. Bumblee would have been pleased…but it goes to show you how different markets would react. My two centavos would be: they couldn’t get away with this in the US.

Chinese Camaro AdsThe running ads seem feature a slight nod to the Transformers 2 movie. While I have yet to interpret the ad, looks like GM is is featuring the Camaro against another new supercar: the Audi R8. Sound familiar: Bumblebee versus Sideways. Of course, the eventual victor would be the Camaro V8.  It does sound plausible that a car that costs 3x less than an Audi would offer similar performance: Camaro 426hp and the R8 has 420hp.

But then again…those are nice looking models…
