Thumbs down Well I feel stupid

I just put two and two together and realized the Gen 5 is only made in Canada and no where in the U.S.

Highly disappointing even if GM is bringing the Gen 6 back to America. How the hell do you have a pure American muscle icon assembled in another country? Makes me sick.

It's still built in the North American continent. So it is American.

because it's a global economy now. we build in Mexico and Canada while Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Hyundai build here in the US. sorry, it isn't the 1970's anymore.

This thread is a joke... who cares. If that was the case, there wouldnt be an American muscle car icon anymore.
