Just wanted to say, I still have my 2000 Toyota Camry, and love the fact that it was built in Georgetown Kentucky. Not only that, I pop the hood and see a lot of parts labeled "Denso Detroit, MI"
I don't care for the new GEN 7 Camrys. We've had a Toyota in our family since 1976 when my mom had the Celica. My dad when he started working for GM again bought a couple of Cavaliers, as he was driving his International Scout and the uptight union folks wouldn't let him in the lots because his car wasn't "General Motors."
GM teamed up with Toyota to build cars at NUMMI. The Toyota Corolla was marketed as a Chevy Prism also the Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe.
Remember the gas pedal fiasco? The Pontiac was on the list and I didn't hear anyone making a big deal about that.
A good chunk of the Camaro was made in Canada, including the interior panels I've taken off. However, my tail lights on my 2010 Camaro were made in Mexico.
The quality, looks, and performance of the 5th gen Camaro is what led me back to GM. It helped my dad qualified for the GM discount as he was retired from there.
I also don't see the folks from Toyota going out to car shows, meeting people, contributing to the message boards, and having focus groups like GM has with the Camaro.
