GM Moving Chevrolet Camaro Production From Oshawa To Lansing

GM is set to announce that production of the Chevrolet Camaro will move from its current home in Oshawa, Ontario, to a plant in Lansing, Michigan. According to The Globe and Mail, GM and the Canadian Auto Workers agreed to keep production of the Camaro in Oshawa until 2014, when the current generation ended its lifecycle. Beyond that, no promises were made. Recent contract negotiations between GM and the CAW saw Oshawa recieve a third shift at its "flex line" to build the all-new Chevrolet Impala. The Camaro is currently built on the flex line, alongside the Buick Regal, and the move is sure to be a blow to workers at Oshawa, which recently had its consolidated assembly line closed after Impala production was partly moved to another plant in Michigan. The best case scenario is that GM is betting big on the Impala, and looking to free up further capacity for the full-size sedan – or perhaps another car. At worst, it's a way of sticking it to the CAW, or an attempt to divest from Canada and its high labor costs. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
