Oh, American owned... well, that makes all the sense in the world then. I didn't realize that GM would take all the money payed to employees in factories across the world and return all of it to the U.S..

G.M. is a global, Multi-National corporation. I'm not against buying their vehicle's (obvoiusly) but to stand here waving the "American Pride" flag doesn't make much sense while driving an Australian designed, Canadian produced vehicle.

And many of the "Jap" cars build here in America have had as much bennefit to, and input from America as the Camaro. Possibly even more.

That could be... I guess the only point I'm trying to make is that if it takes the entire world to put together a car like this, I'm OK with that

Many parts under the hood of 5th Gen have "Denso" logo on them - radiator, starter, alternator...
Nippon Denso is a major supplier for Honda, Toyota and other japs

The Gas in the tank from the factory...........................May be of a Middle Eastern origin. Possibly the sand melted into the window glass is also from there.......... The super refined and enhanced petro in the engine block ( Oil) too. Who cares.............Personally I'm more worried about the leather used on the seating surfaces and steering wheel originating from a South American Moo Moo farm and if it has Mad Cows disease..............may explain my crazy overly aggressive driving habits while on my way to the local Vegan Hamburger Joint. Naw...couldn't be.

I wonder what country made the front end Camaro clunk...... oh forgot the clunk is normal...does that mean GM should have a recall of all the Camaros without clunk ???

Known top speed of 141 mph. Never owned a Chevy before, let alone an American car, this may be the first of many. I was very, very skeptical buying American made, but am COMPLETELY satisfied. Thank you Chevrolet.....so far.

We are very ecstatic that you love your Camaro! I will definitely add this positive story into our database for GM to see. Out of the 30,000 miles what has been your favorite feature so far?
