As American cars continue to strengthen their foot hold in the Middle East, it’s now become apparent that brand new Camaros are available for purchase though legitimate channels in Saudi Arabia. We recently uncovered this YouTube commercial produced by Universal Motor Agencies (UMA) in Saudi Arabia, touting the 2011 Camaro as a magical entity, such as a genie, that desires to name you as “The Chosen One.”
The video opens with intense music that sounds like it could be from a Michael Bay movie, as we see a man in a black suit firmly grab hold of the steering wheel. The music continues as text flashes across the screen that reads, “If this car could choose a driver… you would be the chosen one.” The music quickly intensifies as the man in the black suit wheels the car though a corner, blasting down the street beside another black V6 Camaro. Interestingly enough, only V6 5th Gens are featured in the Commercial, leaving us wondering if they can get the SS over there at all.
In another video by UMA, they posted this statement about their relationship with GM: “Universal Motor Agencies & Chevrolet are entering into Chevrolet’s second century with great momentum. Universal Motors Agencies will ensure that it keeps up with the demands of Saudi Arabian market and keeps delivering to its world class services experience that has given it a name for being an innovative and reliable market leader in Chevrolet & GMC automobile.” That’s all well and good, but UMA should really make it a point to import some V8’s for those Saudis to romp around the sand box.
