That doesn't mean line 1 can put out more V8's. It just means line 2 puts out less V6's. Only a guess on my part. Waiting for someone like OshawaInsider to shed some light.

I don't really know, but supposedly the Oshawa lines were "flex lines" capable of building two or three different car models on a single line (i.e. Camaro and a couple of other cars), at least that was my understanding. And if that is the case they should be able to build V6 and V8 on either line. So I guess we'll have to wait for the dust to settle and see what the explanations are.
