Any truth to this?? If so, it aint good news.

I'd like to to think it's BS reporting, or Lutz and the execs are just yanking our chains, but i don't know enough to reach a good conclusion.

Pace?? Guion?? z28Ever???

If link doesn't work, it's unde rthe Anything goes forum. Should be easy to find.

 

That's true, the Camaro AND Firebird are not coming back.

As discussed, there's plenty of ways to interpret that quote...the author makes it sound like Lutz pounded a fist on a podium while screaming "for the last time the Camaro and Firebird are never, ever, EVER going to be back...EVER." Ok so they made a promise the car wouldn't be built anywhere else and a deal's a deal....sooo what, does that mean another F-body built in Canada in 2007? Who knows!

 

Remember when" Baghdad Bob", the Iraqi Foreign minister, said:

The Americans are nowhere near the airport. Our commandos have slaughtered them all!"

 

maybe he means that when affordable V8 RWD perfomance returns to Chevy; it will be called something different than "Camaro"

Chevrolet "Z28", anyone???

 

I would hate that. Im tired of all these alphaneumeric names... and they are using them just to copy foriegn companies, which I dont like. I think a vehicle needs a name, the alphaneumerics should be saved for performance codes. But hey, its a lot better than it not coming back at all.

 

Haven't we covered this?

 

Yeah,

we really need a sticky of up to date 5th gen news,

the concept sticky seemed to kill those repost.

 

I AM AN EDDDIOOOT!!!!

Please excuse my repost.

 

We’ll let it slide this time....but don’t let it happen again.

 

 

its interesting tho, cause all of these articles say that GM promised the CAW it wont produce the car anywhere else . but whats to say they wont just start production up there again?

and also, i kno they have a "deal" with the CAW, but if GM breaks said deal, what kind of legal reprocussions could they expect? any?

 

I think they are just saying that to stir things up and see how people will react. If they don't bring it back I think GM will

 

I don't care what you call it. As long as we have cheap rwd V-8s with T-56s. Tomatoe or tomatoe, its all semantics.

 

Well, for one, I am sure the "deal" is tied in with the local and federal governments as well... the St. Therese plant is now Home Depot accoding to a few people, so building a new car there will be most difficult.

One option is building a whole new plant.... don't see that happening...

Another option is somewhere else in Canada... while that may satisfy the CAW to a point, and the Federal Canadian govt, it sure won't make St. Therese happy.

Now, if you say "screw it" and just build it whenever you want, whereever you want, you have to remember that GM builds a lot of other cars in Canada, and they can't just backstab the CAW and the govt and expect smooth sailing at all the other facilities up there.
