"GM said the shutdowns wouldn't affect operations that are in the process of launching new products, including the new Chevrolet Camaro built in Oshawa, Ont., and the Buick LaCrosse (called an Allure in Canada) launching soon at its assembly plant in Fairfax, Kan."

If I'm not mistaken, it's just the Camaro. There are two lines, and the one the Camaro on is a flex line, meaning they can build a ton of different vehicles on it, but I think the Camaro's the only one on it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Not to my knowledge, they're all assembly facilities.

Spend about an hour a day reading all the comments on this site but don't think I've seen any comments or concerns about the Camaro being built in Canada. Read in the local paper today that 15 of the 21 plants in the U.S. will shut down for up to 9 weeks starting at the end of May. But the workers will still get 72 percent of there salaries while there home during the rough months of June and July.

This shouldn't affect the building of the Camaro alot of us have on order but I continue to wonder why GM didn't pick a plant in the U.S. to refit and build their hottest commodity. I'm constantly preaching to people at work about buying American then I support workers in another country.

Both sides of that subject have been well discussed since last July on here. It was put to bed.
