The Ke Mei Luo will be billed as a "luxury" car commanding a price far higher than Americans typically pay. A V6-powered Ke Mei Luo will cost about 500,000 Chinese Yuan, or roughly $76,000..."

Note: Just as the word Camaro has no meaning in English, Ke Mei Luo means nothing in particular in Chinese, according to a GM spokesman. The automaker simply wanted to use Chinese characters that would sound like Camaro when spoken
Wow...so I'd guess a V8 Camaro (assuming they'd be available) would probably start about 590,000 Yuan (assuming prices include taxes on displacement). I can only imagine starting prices for a Corvette over there.
