Oshawa, Ontario — General Motors of Canada Limited President Arturo Elias has announced that the Oshawa, Ontario car plant has been selected to manufacture one of GM's most anticipated new vehicles, the Chevrolet Camaro.
Early production versions of the new Camaro are expected at the end of 2008, with sales starting in the first quarter of 2009.
The new product program and conversion of the Oshawa plant to a state of the art flexible manufacturing facility will begin immediately, representing a $740 million (Canadian) investment. (

"This important new investment for Oshawa would not have been possible without the strong partnership with the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) and federal, provincial and local governments" said Mr. Elias. "Oshawa's selection to build the new Camaro is a tribute to our employees' reputation for the industry's best quality and productivity, and further evidence of the exciting comeback happening at GM."
Oshawa plant 1 and 2 used to make the W-bodies(Impala, Monte, Grand Prix, and LaCrosse). They are going to merge the 2 plants as one with a capacity of about half of a million cars. Impala is likely to stay, Monte will be dead, Grand Prix will change over to G8 and LaCrosse will go to Epsilon II chassis.
