WAITING!

That is pretty neat, I love reading about all the little detail that goes into making stuff like this.
You know, even the less popular cars and poorer quality ones still have so much work that goes into them, I have nothing but respect for everyone that makes them. Then when GM goes the step further... you get the new camaro. |

Cool Article!
Sounds like our Camaro is, as usual, in very capable hands. |

WOW; a global effort. I'm suprised to hear that GM is using a Japanese company for these little details; but what do I know?! I hope there is a book or something that gives a timeline and goes into detail about this car. I love a book I have that is about the ZR-1 and it's development. I hope there is something like that for this car soon because I'd buy that like white on rice. Anyhoo, this is very encouraging news. Good find ;D

An undeniably American car is to be built in Canada, has had much of its engineering done in Australia, and its prototypes are being made in Japan. This is globalization.

Read the final paragraph. The vert prototype is being built in Japan. The author just returned from an event where he was let in on the project.
