The fact that it was built in Canada has more to do with auto trade agreements hammered out in the 1960s and long standing factories owned by the US auto makers than cheaper labor in Canada. The UAW exists just as strongly in Canada as the US if not more so. IIRC the agreements stipulated that production levels would be roughly equal to the number of sales the auto makers made in Canada. To some extent it's the luck of the draw which models get built where.

I was unaware of those facts. Thanks for the info! I thought the Canadian plants started work on the F-bodies in the '80s.

At the very least, the Camaro, due to its old-fashioned layout, styling, and in-your-face horsepower, is undeniably American-born.

Sadly, I'll have to wait another five months to see mine again (as well as my family, home, cats, dog, guns...). I've never owned a vehicle which offered so much pure FUN to the driver. As a bonus, it's easy to work on AND to modify.
