From my point of view, living in Sweden (Europa) the big three finaly use their proud herritage and build cool cars again. That´s grate and I hope they will continue on that path, not try to build European or Japanese kind of cars, but their own -American style. I was total blown away by the Camaro concept, better than I could ever hope for. In fact, I´m a bit jealus at you living on the North American continent to be a part of all this, hell, I wanna be there too! Baseball, appelpie and Camaros, -the world need this And recpect to GM making this possible, so far they have made a exellent job that truly deservs a party (in any form) that day when the first one rolls out.
Camaro's production would have been suspended just over 8 years when production resumes.

Charger's was 20.

Shelby Mustangs had a 35 year hiatus (more if you're talking about ones from Shelby's own garage).

Challenger's would have been suspended over 33 years.


If I called anything historic, it probally wouldn't be Camaro's return.

Big crowds of enthusiast from all ower the world. Maybe F-body father has anything on this? I would love to be there, do the tour in the factory and see it all come together.

Nevertheless, having a gathering/F-body show and shine at the plant on the first real production day would be a fantastic idea. Tour, music and BBQ.

I'll be sure to table your thought next weekend, but until production cars are out for delivery, the plant will most likely be out... but maybe down the road... we'll see.

Only problem is that Oshawa in the winter probably isn't the most comfortable place. But its a cool idea none-the-less, maybe something in the summer.

I've been pushing this idea since the announcement was made that Oshawa was going to be building the car. I've made my thoughts known to parties within GM on both sides of the border...

Best regardSS,

Yeah, I would seriously consider a vacation in Canada to celebrate this. Maybe something for the Canadian tourist bureau. Flight from Stockholm, hotel with breakfast (i like scrambled eggs), tour at the plant, party at the bar across the street (if there is one, lol). Wow! And GM could label a beer for the event, a limited edition lager "The fifth element".

We talked about doing something "fun" for the car's release in Oshawa a couple years ago in this thread .
