Didn't GM close F-body factories back in 2002 to invest more in SUVs

GM closing plants, reducing employment levels in the good ole USA. Thanks for all of your support and concern for the soon to be unemployed factory workers.(yeah, sour grapes, so what! I found out today.... no job in July.) Thank you Scotsman for your concern.

Dumb question: Wasn't the Camaro supposed to be being produced at Oshawa?

There is a plant (soon to be shut down) for trucks, and another one for cars. Used to be 2 car plants but as I understand it they have merged the operations of them into one. The Camaro, Impala, and a couple Zeta based cars are all going to be built there.

WoW I love the truck bashing in this thread. . .forgive me but a truck is more useful then any car I have ever owned. I can't tell you how many times I've moved in the last 6 years and hell the last 2 years I've moved 5 times. and I'm about to move again in the next 6 months. I could not own a car that could tow all my crap around. I also can't tell you how many times I've had to use my truck for work. . .when the gov shorts my shop a truck I end up using mine. . .and how many times I've helped my friends move? come on.

bashing trucks and suv's just because they get crappy gas mileage compared to small light cars. . .get over it.

Who ever said the reasons for owning a truck/suv for being safer and sitting up higher. . .yea it is safer then your little bitty pirus/civic/corolla/etc. my truck won't take as much damage as a civic in the same accident. . .Also sitting up higher (stock) gives you a better vantage point of a situation.

now before you bash me let me give you a run down on my opinion and why. I've owned several types of cars. I've owned trucks, sports cars, economy cars, and tech a commuter. here's the list, 1989 chevy chyenne, 86 astro, 81 malibu, 96 trans am, 04 saturn ion, 98 camaro, 86 fiero, and my current DD 07 silverado. out of all those for a DD I prefer my Silverado. I liked the fiero because it was low and with a 350 swap it would be a destroyer. but I couldn't see crap in a parking lot or sitting behind other cars/trucks at a light. give me my silverado over your prius/civic/cobalt/ion/etc any day of the week.

Sorry for going off, just tired of people trashing trucks when they have no right other then that's their opinion.

ok well i agree trucks are handy but also they suck sometimes....

and you mentioned cobalt....well i bet the cobalt ss would wlak all over your truck.......not trying to start a big fight here but it would sorry...yeah it might not b as safe as a truck...and that was your opinion and i respect it so dont flip k

and i prefer a car because....they are smaller and easier to maneuver...most are faster then trucks..better gas mileage (know you're sick of hearing that but yeah)....better speakers(sorry thats a big seller for me)...

sure my little grand prix couldn't tow 5981793025 pounds like your truck prolly can but i can e-brake in my car! haha just a little humor

I bought my truck for towing and utility. i drive my cars for driving at the track and cruising. two different classes. as for a DD I prefer a truck. lol. weekend warrior (no work in mind) give me a car that can handle and I can take up into the mountains and have some fun. No where did I say anything about using a truck for racing/handling. just there was a lot of truck bashing in this thread. . .that's what ticked me off. guess Bad Day= Bad mood so Bad mood + truck bashing thread = ranting post. sorry.
