Chevrolet Bumble Bed Laid for Camaro UK Launch

The British division of Chevrolet is currently preparing the set for the Camaro’s launch in the UK, a model that is set to arrive at nationwide dealers in early 2012 and will be available from £34,995 on-the-road. Specifically, the company is sponsoring a flowerbed at Stoke Mandeville Railway Station through the Bumble Bedzz project.

The Bumble Bedzz are bee-friendly flower beds which have been created in areas such as location railway stations to try and encourage people to plant their own beds and in doing so boost the bumblebee population.

Chevrolet’s Bumble Bed features flowers, including Lavender, Rosemary, Thyme and Buddleia, in the shape of a Chevrolet’s iconic bowtie. The iconic yellow and black Chevrolet Camaro was present at the officially opening of the garden.

"The bumble bee is as much of an icon for the British countryside as the Camaro is for Chevrolet,"
said Mark Terry, Managing Director of Chevrolet UK. "It's fair to say that they both cause quite a buzz. We're delighted to be involved in such an innovative and worthwhile local initiative."

The Camaro is powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine and suspension that has been fine-tuned for European roads. All UK versions of the Camaro will be left-hand-drive only and will come complete with the top of the range specifications including, 20-inch alloy wheels, Brembo performance brakes, full leather upholstery with a six-way power adjustable driver’s seat, a Boston Acoustics nine-speaker audio system, Bluetooth and rear parking sensors.

A choice of premium paint colours, bonnet stripes, interior trim accents, a sunroof, polished alloy wheels and automatic transmission, will also be available for an extra £1,500.
