Yep....it's a go for Oshawa!!! .

Although great news, I somehow can't help but feel this may be one of the last great announcements for the Ontario...maybe even North American auto manufacturing industry? .

If it's not too late already, our governments better start taxing the sh!+ out of import vehicles and materials and saving the dough to give everyone when the bottom completely falls out of what's left of our manufacturing industry? .

Kill the Wal-Mart types now....again if it's not too late already! .

I read online that the new Challenger is going to be built at the Brampton Ontario plant....is this true? .

Im my sept issue of playboy, they show a breakdown of the new mustang verses a toyota minivan of where the parts are made. The mustang had 45% amaerican made parts in it where as the toyota was 90% american made!!!

[PeteLeathersac]

That's so true in a lot of cases! .
I wasn't pointing any fingers at specific brands, only at 'import vehicles and materials' themselves. .
Ontario has a bunch of import companies here, Honda, Toyota etc....so as long as North America gets the manufacturing, I'm all for whatever vehicle or merchandise it is. .
Ok, I'll probably still pass on the Fords myself! .

I didn't findout about these new(er) super cars until after I had bought my SS camaro

I was reading the November issue of Muscle Car Enthusiast magazine and they had a small article with a couple pictures of the new Camaro. IMHO the Camaro is just an ugly, ugly car.

gm is trying to keep pace with the retro muscle cars from the other major players...

i don't think any modern muscle will ever evoke the same emotions that the muscle cars of the sixties did jmo

On the Cheers and Gears GM website there is a brief video of the Camaro from the new " Transformer " movie
