I know I will get flamed for this but the Oshawa workforce was and is older than the Lansing unit and they(Oshawa) took a lot of pride in the 5th Gen.

Nobody who knows would knock Oshawa. Great bunch of people who truly care about their products.
They were active on the 5 forum. Hope they are building something else and doing well.
However - You knew it was coming...
The Camaro is all-American. I don't even like the Mexican differentials (groan) they're putting in them.
Lansing has dedicated craftsmen and women as well, but they are being handed parts that are defective in design (some), defective in quality control (others),
and even when the defect is obvious, management says (famous GM line)
"Just ship it". Management. Corporate directives.
Don't blame Lansing for GM shipping them crap parts for assembly (Too numerous to list)
Fire the Shudder-Matic 8/10 L90 transmission chief designer.
Hard to believe Vega-like engineering ignorance still exists in American vehicles.
They test it, it breaks, and they - ship 'em out!
Get a new supplier for the defroster vent leaking IP. (No I'm not throwing a rug over them)
And on, and on...
Our friends at Oshawa
may have told us about this. (Nuts rolling around in trunk lid) Just ship it! But sir, it's not right! Just ship it! Ya miserable cus!
Hell, Bowling Green workers (Corvette) voted to authorize a strike vote due to several issues. One of the issues - "Don't tell us when it's
"good enough", we'll tell you!"
Seems management repeatedly told line workers to ignore glaring defects.
Well, we'll tell you too GM -
There's this interweb thingy now and your customers talk. A lot.
I wanted this car bad, very bad. Did my research, and well, not gonna happen. omg
GM management: Go back to sipping SUV champagne and eating SUV caviar.
Then they shudder on home in their Tahoes (8L90 equipped) Sad!
