Chevrolet keeping secrets maybe?

scottw · 07-03-2011, 09:53 PM

Oh. I forgot to mention the Hemi motor is made in Mexico and the as we all know the Camaros in Canada. That brings up another question... Why arent these manufacturers using USA labor? Wages? Not trying to be political just a question. (Sorry to the Canadians up north if they dont understand what I am talking aboot.)

Our motors are assembled in Mexico as well.

The documentery said in (I Think) St. Charles or something like that. Maybe thats just the V6? No disrespect about mexico here I was just saying why not usa.

scottw · 07-03-2011, 10:08 PM

St Charles, Canada forgot to mention

FenwickHockey65 · 07-03-2011, 10:09 PM

Engines are built at St. Catherines.

And the show says it's a V6 but actually follows an SS.

Following the development of the Zeta architecture and because of its position as the GM global center of RWD development, GM Holden in Australia led the final design, engineering, and development of the Camaro.[24] However, the new Camaro will be produced at the Oshawa Car Assembly manufacturing plant in Canada.[25] 2,750 jobs would have been lost at the Oshawa manufacturing plant which had been originally scheduled to be closed in 2008; some of these jobs were saved due to the new Camaro's production.[26] This new product program and conversion of the Oshawa plant to a state of the art flexible manufacturing facility represented a US$740,000,000 investment.[27]

Why not $740,000,000 investment in Detriot or Ohio?

Oh God I sound like my dad!

brAnd7onX · 07-03-2011, 10:13 PM

Because our labor unions are ridiculous here in the U.S. now...

Go arlington tx, I hope you didn't miss the z06 after the camaro

sasquash1984 · 07-03-2011, 10:36 PM

Also chevy's goal was to promote the v6 they didn't think the ss would take off the way it did but ss sales are slowing while the v6 is comming up
