The day they release the ordering forms for the new Camaro, i will order one, stripped down, coupe, with the biggest engine available. Call my friend Mike @ GMMG , and get help to wake it up as much as possible. NEW

Just like how I ordered my 2000 Z28.I bet power windows and locks will be standard though which sucks!The days of you ordering a true stripper is over unless you buy a truck or rice burner!!

One news truck was already there at 6:30 AM today. Looks good for Oshawa employment for a few more years.

About 5 minutes to go before the big announcement! .

Hey Keith....if Oshawa is the winner, shall we try and track where the pre-production pilot units go? . I have a good idea....not that they'd be obtainable but they may stay in one piece? .

Yep....it's a go for Oshawa!!! .

Although great news, I somehow can't help but feel this may be one of the last great announcements for the Ontario...maybe even North American auto manufacturing industry? .

If it's not too late already, our governments better start taxing the sh!+ out of import vehicles and materials and saving the dough to give everyone when the bottom completely falls out of what's left of our manufacturing industry? .

Kill the Wal-Mart types now....again if it's not too late already! .

I read online that the new Challenger is going to be built at the Brampton Ontario plant....is this true? .

Im my sept issue of playboy, they show a breakdown of the new mustang verses a toyota minivan of where the parts are made. The mustang had 45% amaerican made parts in it where as the toyota was 90% american made!!!

**PeteLeathersac** · #49 08-21-2006, 08:55 PM

That's so true in a lot of cases! .
I wasn't pointing any fingers at specific brands, only at 'import vehicles and materials' themselves. .
Ontario has a bunch of import companies here, Honda, Toyota etc....so as long as North America gets the manufacturing, I'm all for whatever vehicle or merchandise it is. .
Ok, I'll probably still pass on the Fords myself! .
