I have a close tie with a VP in the R&D department. Sent him my order number and he tried to get me a tour on the day mine was being built. I was told GM stopped all tours as a cost savings.

OH well!

The eagle has probably dropped the soap in the shower, or something. Again.

i have to ask why would you not want onstar? that is one feature that i would not go without. I am glad they are putting it on all the vehicles now.

Zabo · 03-18-2009, 12:47 PM

Hey Zedder, are they dropping the Impala plate or just the SS trim? I was just curious as to where they were going with the whole Impala Zeta thing in '14 or if they were canning it in favor of the Malibu?

Wondered if you plant guys knew something. Scotty and Fbod can chime in at any time too, since I think this may be pertinent to the Oshawa plant as a whole.

You will find a huge amount of argumens on how people don't want them in thier car. Most of them just want to do illegal stuff without getting caught which is essentially what most of the arguments boil down to...

I love onstar. I think there is probably four hundred threads on this...

80Zedder · 03-18-2009, 02:30 PM

Just the ss nameplate from what I understand. There is a car on the compound that is a semi prototype of what were building next 'non camaro' its on a existing platform, but the platform is being modified. We can't say what it is until GM annouces it.

FirstLSK · 03-18-2009, 02:36 PM

You had to say that didn't you............

Let the speculation begin.

I just dont want the service or plastic antenna on the roof. It should be an option if people want, a monthly service should not be built into a vehicle as standard equipment.

My Trailblazer had it, I never used it, never wanted it, waste of buttons and equipment IMO.

Also, can anyone explain the logistics in why the Impala gray is related to the delay in the Camaro's CGM?

I dont want to do illegal anything, I just think its a waste to put equipment into my new car that I will never use. If I did want to get into a high speed chase,

I dont want to be saved by Onstar.

They're all painted by the same equipment. They have a limited number of spots for colors and there's no point in having 2 grays.

They spray the same colors for both the impala and the camaro. They can't start to spray CGM until the Dark Silver Met. on the impalas is used up.

...

does Onstar even compile any data when driving? I thought that was the car's blackbox, kind of like the boxes airplanes have.
