The GT isn't built by Ford. The GT is built by Multimatic. The Camaro was built by GM in Canada. Completely different situations.

An actual decent article on that subject would not only provide figures for context, but would provide an explanation as to the cause as well. Not 'car big, engine small ... so engine melts' like this clown did. Also, he doesn't seem to like GM or the Cruze much. In one of his other stellar articles on that site, he says he was "victimized by a Chevy Cruze". How, you might ask? Well, its reverse light was on while it was parked. And he wanted that parking spot. So he waited, for 15 seconds! Imagine that, 15 whole seconds. He parked somewhere else, checked out the car and saw that it was off and nobody was in it ... costing even more time. The whole thing must have added like an entire minute, maybe even two, to his trip to Wegmans. I'm surprised he even had the courage to write a 350 word blog article about his victimizing experience. Anyway, my point is always be critical of sources. Look for details -if there aren't any, there's probably a good reason why they weren't included. Keep an eye out for possible bias -even the best of journalists have some bias in their pieces, its just that bloggers have an awful lot more (and the ones that claim to only give 'the straight truth' are the worst of them all). And not just on pieces you disagree with -thats the easy. Do it for the stuff you agree with too -thats how you stop BS from spreading.

You would think I would have replaced one if that's the case. I've changed a bunch of turbos and water pumps though.

No, it's not tomato tomato. It's shoddy journalism and poor research, plain and simple.

Lots of sources saying PSA has finalized the deal to buy Opel.
Bittersweet, as a lot of great cars have been sourced from GM Europe. But it'll be good for everyone's bottom line at the end of the day.

Not sure, it's probably going to be Opel's last hurrah as a GM division.

Official. Opel/Vauxhall are no longer a GM subsidiary.

Most likely engineering and production in the US and China.
