so, looks like we will see the sixth gen as a 2015 model.

Oshawa will be fine, they do a great job and GM will keep them working. I am very proud of my Oshawa built Camaro, but I like the idea of the Camaro beong built stateside.

I love my Oshawa built SS...glad to see they are not shuttering the plant. They do great work up there.

Wow great for the people of Lansing it's a good thing. Grew up in Lansing worked at fisher body plant in the 60s and 70s help to build 442's cutlass and other great Oldsmobiles the people there will benefit greatly

GM to move Camaro production from Ontario to Lansing plant
By Melissa Burden The Detroit News The Camaro is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, as are the CTS and ATS, built in Lansing. (GM) General Motors Co. will move production of the Chevrolet Camaro from Oshawa, Ontario, to its Lansing Grand River plant, the automaker announced Wednesday. GM will move the next generation of the muscle car from Ontario to the Lansing plant, which builds the Cadillac CTS and ATS. The shift is likely to occur within a few years. The last all-new Camaro came for the 2010 model year. GM, in a statement, cited lower capital investments and production efficiencies as a key factor for moving production of the vehicle. The Camaro is built in Oshawa on the same line as the Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Oshawa will build the next-generation Chevrolet Impala. Those cars are front-wheel drive models. The Camaro is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, as are the CTS and ATS, built in Lansing, currently a two-shift plant. Sales of the Camaro year-to-date through November are down 3.6 percent compared with the same period in 2011.

If it is then great. I only hope that it's built in Lansing with the same pride and quality it is built with in Oshawa. Mike Judge and the Oshawa crew are top notch. Both in building cars and within the Camaro community.

More info needed on this one. |
They may also be anticipating a higher demand for the Impala and will want to increase the capacity for its production in Oshawa. Or they did say at one time eventually the SS would be built over here instead of importing it from Australia.
