Im serious, if they show a Camaro next week, Im gunna pass out. So if they do show one, and I dont post on here for a week, Im probably in the hospital. I am dreaming, but hey, ya never know.

well I think they got to do some barganing first before they do that with the CAW...the car might show up but not the name..possibly??

but if things go the way they have been im betting on a later anouncement..they might hint on the name..

It's not the CAW itself (they gained more jobs at the Oshawa plant alone than they lost at Ste Therese). It's the local union that can stir things up, putting the Quebec government and the CAW leadership on the spot.

That's why the big hush-hush on the "C" word.

With the plant gone, it seems thay can say the "C" word without walking on eggshells.

BTW, FWIW: I think it's very interesting that Bob Lutz said in a skillful way that Camaro wasn't coming back because "a deal's a deal", as if to smooth concerns about the plant coming down (GM had to agree they wouldn't tear it down for a year after F-body production stopped, and afterwards, demolition had been blocked twice).

But that "Deal" was with the Ste. Therese plant, NOT the CAW itself.

The way the agreement was written, GM was comitted to produce F-bodies at that factory till 2001, and could only stop production at that plant only if the models were discontinued
