The reason that Camaro production ended in 2002 was that the new safety regulations required major reconstruction for side impact. The Union contract in place said that the workers would get full pay while they were off during retooling. To break the Union contract, the Nameplate of the car would have cto be retired for 7 years. 2003-2009=7 years. Contract on the Camaro voided. New contract negotiated and change of location bidded on and chosen.
I couldn't be happier with either my 4th gen SS or my 5th gen Zl1. Canada has shown good quality builds, I hope and am sure that Lansing, MI will make an awesome 6th gen. I will have one to add to my collection.
