I wonder if the right to work laws played a part??

More like Alpha-based cars are already being built at Lansing Grand River.

If it did then Michigan is already reaping the benefits of right to work and personal freedom.

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?

Interesting. Good to see it back in the states.

They'll maintain Epsilon-II production. Probably Equinox overflow as well.

I'm sure Oshawa is going to play a part in GM global manufacturing.
Look, they were built in the U.S. before, and they've been built in Canada for almost 1/2 the time the Camaro's been around. So to see them move the final assembly back to the states isn't majorly upsetting. Obviously it is to the Oshawa community, but apparently GM feels it makes better business sense going forward. Personally, I think the alpha has a whole lot to do with it, but perhaps a little bit of right to work as well. It'll be interesting if any other alphas end up in Oshawa. If it does, then there may be other reasons.
