This has been out for a while. Yes the Oshawa plant will be partially closed. But the Camaro line will continue to produce Test Fleet cars.

Not sure if you heard that the Camaro is delayed one month (march 16th). But the temporary plant closures don't have anything to do with the delay, so we've been told.

All you need to know is that the sky is not falling.

Fenwick beat me to it.

Based on reading the article it doesn't appear to have any affect on the Camaro line at Oshawa.

We should be good.

Here's the AP article.
