Condense multiple vehicles in the same plant, or even the same assembly line, while closing as many single vehicle plants as possible.
The Jersey plant isn't the prime choice & GM isn't going to build an entirely new plant anywhere in the immediate future.
Without betraying names or sources, it's going to be an existing plant, either expanded or remodeled. Look at the plant that's going to make GM's Kappa cars as an example as to what to expect. It used to make just mid sized Saturns, now it's going to make at least 3 separate cars.

Lear Seating is gone or closing, someone else got the bid for the GMX-001 seats, and is building a new plant if I remember right.
Also, from what my friends have told me, the new Delta line was built independant of the old J-Car line...

Anybody know what is going into the Doraville, GA assembly plant? They used to assemble Oldsmobiles, but unfortunately Olds doesn't need it anymore and I haven't heard who/what is going to replace them in Doraville.

Lol, if they tried to make Camaros in NJ, they would probaby be stolen before they even made it off the assembly line.
