I hope they use key folks from Canada to train the new to the Camaro, workers in the Michigan plant?

I love the new Camaro!! I just want to say I posted on the Gm site an Idea I have for more HP for all the supercharged cars Gm produces. It would consist of a air conditioned charged intercooler? Either electric or already in place air conditioning ? with a control valve the would provide the intercooler with the charge when needed. When you need it turn it on ? or electric would not rob you of Hp in time of need . I would estimate at least a 25 % increase i Hp. If needed . I wish they or someone else would incorporate this into their program? I have sent myself a letter of intent . to safe guard my Idea so I can help others in need ,and buy more Camaros!!

I hope that the 6th Gen still has some hope, that design direction doesn't hinder sales

It amazes me that the NLRB is not jumping all over this. It was the NLRB that jumped all over Boeing trying to build a production plan in South Carolina because it was a right to work state.
Policies. We must change.

Canada and the US have partnered in building GM products for many years. I certainly feel for those who have been assembling the present generation of Camaro. You have done so with pride and many have been happy with their purchase and have great pride in their car. MY brother built Camaro's in Van Nuys Ca for several years and is now retired. I, as well as my father have also built cars for GM for many years. Combined, we have invested 84 years building cars in a GM plant. I hope those of you who have put your heart and soul into this car will have continued success in future models. Those of you who will built the next generation of Camaro have a golden opportunity to make the entire world demand a car made in North America rather than the global competition that has dogged us for decades. Good luck. As an idea for you guys up north. The very last car to leave the GM South Gate Assembly Plant was a White Cadillac Cimarron.. I have no idea where that car would be today but written inside the door panels are the signatures of hundreds of employees who worked in that place for so many years to include that of the Plant Manager. It was a sad day to see the doors close there. As a kid I wanted so much to buld cars there and when I had the chance I was all over it. We had Buick 425's, Chevy 409's and 396's and some others that were just stacked to the roof. It was like being in heaven.

Good news. Perhaps this means the 6th generation will finally be able to have a decent medium blue.

As for the Boeing thing, that was purely political. Being in a Boeing employed family (Machinist Union), I can tell you jobs were not lost here in the Seattle area as a result of SC. As a matter of fact, Boeing has been hiring throughout the whole thing. They (NLRB) were all ready to nail Boeing to the wall, when somebody realized it wouldn't look good for the administration to close a new plant down in an economically depressed area, just before an election. Just as quickly, the case was dropped. I'm sure the Union donors got, or will get their payback elsewhere.

Robots do not care what country they work in nor do they care what car they build. They do not come to work in a bad mood an they do not get paid overtime. The Camaro has alot of robotics involved and they will become more involved as time marches on. Good luck in your next venture Canada. The Camaro will be in good hands as long as GM engineering does it's homework and the bean counters stay away from design.

Correct. I spoke to the manufacturing executive who came right out and said it, in fact.

North America is in great shape for the next 100yrs if not longer. Face it, the only reason Canada is a country is the USA allows it to be. No better neighbor does Canada have. California has more people than all of Canada. If USA wanted to annex Canada, it could have, but colonies cost too much these days. If USA didn't protect Canada from USSR/Russia, it would be a Russian province. Ditto for Mexico, and what a train wreck that dump is. Place could be bulldozed over and do a makeover, I know, I lived there for a while. Country should be in better shape than USA, besides all-year growing season, it has oil, gold, silver, seafood, the works. Nope, no good. The country since the Conquistordes has been ruled by about 1% of the population, sound familiar? Finally, I am a history buff, may get my doctorate in it, who knows, but look at all the places England colonized, then check which ones the Spanish, French, and Germans did. See which ones are doing good today and which aren't. England: USA, Canada, Australia, N. Zealand, all doing fine. Spain: Everything south of Texas (and could you imagine that still Mexican, ha, although they are trying, but their toilets still flush with toilet paper), Spanish Morocco... As for France: Chad, Viet Nam, Laos, need I go on about that...........and who cares about the Germans, they are arrogant. |
