This is probably going to destroy oshawa, as it looks like the Camaro is the leading car made here, and by the looks of the lots when theya re full, they are probably 70% camaros at any given time. damn, this is a nut shot to oshawa! :(

They also make the Impala, Equinox, Buick Regal Gs and will build the 2013 Cadillac XTS. :thumbup:

It will be nice to see it built stateside again. What happens to Oshawa? Get a new platform on the switchover or are they done up there? It seems that the plant was just redone not too long ago...cannot be obsolete yet can it?

Buicks and Cadillacs will be built there.

Epsilon II SWB - Regal
Epsilon II LWB - Impala, XTS
Theta II - Equinox

Plenty to keep Oshawa busy.

Mr. Wyndham 12-19-2012 05:45 PM

Is Equinox there permanently?

FenwickHockey65 12-19-2012 05:49 PM

As far as I know.

Im really dissappointed that they are relocating. Oshawa has gained a very good reputation for building cars in that plant, so relocating the camaro for the 6th generation caught me by surprise . I understand that the majority of the camaros are sold in the united states so that may be a huge benefit to gm but i really hope that the quality of the car still remains. Only time will tell.

Here's a story for ya , my brother who worked at the olds plant during that time bought a 1970 442 burnt orange with white stripes also,a 455 ci employees then use to be able to buy direct and get a decent discount, but the coolest part was that they let him watch his car being built as it went down the assembly line,followed it all the way to final assembly got in and started it ,he drove around to the parking area where they kept just built cars, so he actually popped cherry on it ,as he was the first to drive it and put about 1/10 of a mile,on it.at the time I was 20 yrs old I thought my bro was the coolest guy ever.(still do) memories of lansing back in the day,we,live in fla now he must have had 35 cars since then most of them chevy muscle..:chevy:
