Camaro Plant earns J.D. Power Founder's Award - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sure, the Chevrolet Impala and Buick LaCrosse are not the most exciting models in GM's lineup, but the Oshawa, Ontario plant that's been cranking out well-assembled W-platform vehicles for years has won a rare honor from J.D. Power and Associates.

Power's Founder's Award is reserved for people or corporations that J.D and friends feel are uncommonly dedicated to continual improvement for customers. Oshawa has racked up plenty of Gold and Silver plant awards, and J.D. Power's senior VP for US automotive practice, Gary Dilts, was on hand to present the award to plant manager Dan Hermer and Chris Buckley, president of CAW local 222.

It's a scarce bit of positive news about a domestic automaker, and the fact that the plant has demonstrated such a drive to turn out high quality products bodes well for the Camaro, which is set to start rolling out of the Oshawa complex soon.

Thanks to all those great Canadians working hard and working smart to crank out some quality products. This may be an iconic American car, but I don't mind one bit that it is being built at Oshawa.

Remember that our cultures are almost symbiotic in many ways, and that this is as much an iconic Canadian car as it is American. Also, F-bodies have been built in the Great White North since 1970. This is great news. And thanks all you Canadian auto workers for doing such a good job. Must be really exciting to be a part of something this big.
