The new Chevrolet Camaro – a "pony" that adults want

Although the Chevrolet Camara is a car with a cult status beyond the pond, it is also increasingly becoming a symbol of the "American dream" in Europe.

There was a lot of stalling with this film as well, but still in pre-production, especially around the director (David Fincher was first signed under him) and the main actor. The role eventually went to Michael Fassbender (Prometheus).
