TORONTO (Reuters) - General Motors Corp. (GM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday it will make the latest version of its legendary Chevrolet Camaro muscle car at its major Canadian plant just outside Toronto, a decision that will save thousands of jobs at the facility.
The automaker said production of the Camaro, which was GM's main muscle car from 1967 to 2002, will begin in late 2008 at Oshawa, Ontario, about an hour's drive east of Toronto. The new Camaro is set to arrive in showrooms by early 2009.
GM Canada's Oshawa workers, members of the Canadian Auto Workers union, agreed earlier this year to 2,500 early retirements to trim costs at Oshawa to help secure production of the Camaro. The Oshawa facility has been judged one of GM's most efficient and highest-quality assembly operations.

The earlier versions of F body Camaros and Firebirds were built in Quebec so this is par for the course.

It will be a nice car. Wonder if they can afford it? Knowing how well union auto workers are paid, they'll be about the only ones that can.

I am waiting for the Toyota bashers that are the same GM/Ford Defenders to comment on this one. How dare an American car company make an American car in a foreign country?

I'll wait ten years until you can pick them up covered in bondo and primer. Ah, nostalgia for my high school parking lot.
