UAW = United Auto Workers....

So I read in the paper the other day that GM has an agreement with the UAW that they will build the camaro for them in one of the factories in Canada... But the factory was leveled there, so no Camaro until that agreement runs out was the guess. The speculation was that was alot of the reason we will see the car in 2008 at the earliest. I dont get it, how can an autoworkers union decide where a car should be built, shouldnt GM just make these decisions on their own, afterall its their company right ??

if it was only that easy! the camaro will be built in canada, at the Oshawa plant (which is still standing & operating). i wish we could've had our cars in 08, but due to setbacks, budget issues, extensive R&D, and many other things, we won't have our cars til this spring. just hang in there & keep the faith! it's only a few weeks away now!

ps - i know you ain't been here in 2 1/2 years, but if you come back, at least you have a partial answer

WTF....this is a sad state if we are so bored and can't find decent topics to discuss....we really need something earth-shattering to discuss.

COME ON GM.....give us something to talk about otherwise we're going to have to take the zebra out to the north 40 and put all of out of our misery!

The occasional necro is humorous. This one was a big fat fail, though.
