Just for clarification, and I am sue you know this, but the Gen 6 Camaros are made in Michigan.

The Camaro has been built in Canada since what, 1974 or something right?

To be honest I'll happily buy anything out of Oshawa after seeing how well built our cars are

They definitely take great pride in there! I'm friends with numerous guys who have worked all along the Camaro Line, and they were devastated when it was announced that it'd be going South.
Used to love driving down Stephenson Rd when they were rolling off the line.....if you caught the Red Light, you'd be surrounded by them!

Thank goodness you cleared that up. After five years of hanging in limbo, the previous posters from five years ago can stop checking on this thread. Good job.

People have been saying that for decades...it still makes sense to make some things in the US. And as it becomes more expensive to make stuff in China...it will sway back this way.
