          The rims are made in China. Maybe that will change too?

              Yup, the CAW boss is pretty pissed about the announcement. I think that the current gen was being built in Oshawa Ontario partially due to an old agreement with the union when the previous gen got axed. If Chev started building Camaros again, for a certain period of time the deal was they had to be put together at a Canadian assembly plant.

              Good for Lansing though, that area of Michigan has seen some very tough times the last decade or more.

                      actually, it should make them even harder to afford.

                        And won't it still be basically an overweight Australian Holden under its cartoonish Detroit skin?

                          No, they've got right to work and a UAW contract that allows for lower "training wages" now . . . Government Motors' cost for partially screwing 'em together ought to be c-h-e-a-p . . . maybe not Tennessee/Alabama/South Carolina/Texas cheap, but apparently not cost-prohibitive.

                          Besides, Government Motors "hard loads" in plenty 'o profit on each unit . . . CAFE guarantees that.
