The Lansing plant, which has 2,700 workers, will lay off 810 hourly workers and 29 salaried workers effective Jan. 16, 2017. The layoff figure includes more than 300 temporary workers, a GM spokeswoman said.
The Detroit automaker builds the Cadillac ATS, Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Camaro at Lansing Grand River; days supply of those cars rose to 118, 136 and 138, respectively, at the end of October. That was higher than the month earlier and more than double what the industry considers a healthy days supply to carry.
The Detroit automaker said the production cuts are related to the continued expectation that customers will continue to prefer crossovers and trucks over cars. Sales of all four cars the plants build are down sharply this year through October compared to the same months in 2015.

My 2 cents.. GM overpriced the 6th gen Camaro to begin with. Sad to see the layoffs.
