The 2010 Camaro goes on understanding in Nihon on December 5, and our friends at the Camaro5 forums have collected together various videos of the cars being off-loaded from freighters and arranged at promotional events. Both the V6 LS/LT/RS models and SS models will be offered.

Two things stand out in our mind: (1) No one succumbs to the lure of a burnout. (2) All the cars are left-hand-drive. You might think the Camaro would be cushy to reconfigure for right-hand-drive given its Australian origins. But that would add cost, and if you're not going to sell many Camaros in Japan, what's the point? But we know from experience that the novelty of sitting on the wrong side of the car wears off in a day or so.

Three more videos after the jump. The last video shows a modified Yanase Camaro SS. Yanase Global Motors & Co is a dealer group that handles a big chunk of all the foreign-car imports coming into Japan. It hasn't been an cushy year, though, since in addition to GM products, Yanase imports Chryslers and Jeeps.
