NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- When General Motors unveils the Chevrolet Camaro for Chinese customers at the Shanghai Auto Show next month it will have a new Chinese name: Ke Mei Luo.

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. Prices for a V6-powered Camaro in the U.S. typically start at about $22,000.

There has been no word, yet, on how much a V8 Powered Ke Mei Luo will cost.

The luxury performance market segment has been flourishing in China, according to GM, growing 141% in 2010.

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 render the famous Camaro name for Chinese speakers.

My car, a 2008 Honda Civic Sedan that I paid $22,000 brand new goes for something like $35-$40,000 in Malaysia. It does not surprise me.

We got to get our money back from them somehow... and if they're dumb enough to pay it, we'll own our own debt again soon.

The phonetic spelling in Chinese of English words is quite common.
