Post Official Canadian Pricing Released for Camaro
Canadian pricing as follows with U.S. pricing in parenthesis. I haven't seen any option prices yet... and it looks like a $1400 destination fee has to be added as well to the Canadian prices, whereas the U.S. price includes a $750 destination charge.

LS 26,995 ($22.995)

1LT $27,995 ($24,630)

2LT $31,595 ($27,330)

1SS $36,995 ($30,995)

2SS $40,995 ($34,180)

Best regardSS,

Elie

So let me get this straight, it takes more fuel to go from Oshawa to Florida than say Oshawa to Toronto, add to that the markup (which is not completely based off of exchange rate), AND we have to pay a destination fee which is for all intents and purposes as much as the fuel cost to transport said car to Florida. Any other way we can subsidize things for our US counterparts??? I don't consider tax into the equation as that's the cost of living here in my eyes, but the markup for something where you're inclined to think more than half the parts are manufactured in Canada...

It is at least competitive with stang pricing...

Well if shipping is included within the US price and you have to add $1400 to the Canadian price, using the 2SS as an example, that would make the effective price $42,395, which is a 24% premium over the US price, which is basically consistent with the G8 GT pricing.

Basically the cost has been adjusted for currency values.

A couple add ons:

Freight/PDI: $1,400
Air Tax: $100
Gas Guzzler surcharge: $2,400 (on SS models)

Looking in the $50-$55k range with taxes (depending on options).

I suppose it's all a matter of how you look at the pricing. The glass can be either 1/2 full or 1/2 empty, depending on if you compare the Canadian pricing to the U.S. pricing, or whether the comparison is made to how the Challenger is priced in Canada... and I do know that GM Canada looked very closely at this.

With Canadian and American pricing noted above, here's the Canadian pricing on the Challenger (also have to add a $1300 destination charge - although the car is built in Brampton, Ontario)

SE $24,995 (Canadian only model with 4 spd. auto & 250 HP V6)

SXT $26,995 (not sure with 4 or 5-speed auto & 250 HP V6)

R/T $34,995 (370 HP V-8)

SRT/8 $45,995 (425 HP V-8)

I think if the comparison is made to the Challenger, the Camaro comes off looking a little better, given the higher content of a 300 HP base engine that gets better gas mileage, plus a 6-speed tranny, among other items. Looking at the V6 cars, I'd rather pay the premium for the Camaro, considering the equipment level, even if the 4 or 5 speed auto is included in the V6 Challenger pricing (I don't believe a manual tranny is available on the V6 Challenger).

If you compare performance, fuel economy and level of equipment between the SS and the SRT/8, it would seem that the SS is a much better value, especially if you accept the performance being approx. the same.

That being said, it would have been even more attractive to Canadian buyers if the price differential could have been kept closer to the approx. 15% difference that appears between the pricing of the CTS-V in Canada ($68,500) and the price in the U.S. ($59,995).

Best regardSS,

Elie

The 1 LT V6 looks like the best value at $28,000.00 8)

Could another 6 banger be in my future? :shock:

The V8 is $9,000.00 more plus guzzler tax :shock:

there's more to fuel cost and distance to determine freight charge..Volume, Location, regulation etc..also plays a role

I was just asking if he knew whether Chrysler included the destination charge in their list price for the Challenger like GM does for the Camaro in the US, that way we are comparing apples to apples with respect to the differences between the two countries. If they don't, and purchasers in the US have to pay $1300 more as well, that means there isn't as big a difference between US and Canadian Challenger prices as there is between US and Canadian Camaro prices.

I don't understand, please explain. I don't care how many cars you send to California, how could that possibly cost GM less than shipping a car a couple of miles? What kind of regulation is involved? Are you saying that Canadian governments mandate that a minimum amount be charged for destination charges?
