Looks like the end of the line for the "Camaros aren't American because they're built in Canada" argument/joke.

Only 1000 jobs?

Here: http://www.nytimes.com/1987/08/27/us...ohio-town.html

There were 4400 jobs lost at Norwood alone.

In the run up to the transfer of the F car to Canada in 1992 the combined labor of both Norwood and Van Nuys and a direct US job loss of over 8000 U.S. jobs. and X 3 that number in support jobs.

You guys had the cars for 30 years and now the "Projet Renaissance" loans that closed the American plants 30 years ago are now within the repayment period.

Didn't GM move a major engine factory from Mexico to Canada a few years ago creating jobs in Canada.

I agree, job loss's suck, U.S. or Canada. I just meant that in the past every time the Camaro/Firebird line leaves a plant it is either idled(Oshawa) or torn down completely(Norwood &amp; Quebec) From what I understand, no other car line in G.M.'s history has had this distinction.

Don't forget Van Nuys - it is a shopping mall now.
