[BJCHEV396]

GM has added shifts to chip away at the 19,000 car back order for the 2010 Camaro.Workers at the GM Oshawa operation are being asked to work extra shifts to meet the demand for the new Camaro.They have agreed to work the first week of their summer shutdown.Also seven Saturday overtime shifts beginning June 13th.Once it hits peak production of 440 Camaros a day at the end of May,the Oshawa plant will be producing 2,200 a week.About 1,000 workers produce the vehicle on one shift.Waiting time for delivery of the new Camaro is at least 3 months.

The SS Camaro is already being recalled for Battery Cable issues. Not trying to put a wet blnket on it but perhaps their rushing them out the door

Yeah, but that's normal with any new model from any manufacturer. It always takes at least a year to work out the kinks.

Rushing? The workers went back the first week of November. This is May. By January 1, they should have been up to speed as any other normal model changeover would have been. Just lately, a friend told me that St. Therese had some agreement with GM that if the Camaro went back into production again within a certain number of years, it had to be built there. Apparently January 1 was the expiry date. Just a story. I don't know if it's true. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I don't think he's saying anything, as back-orders further drive his point home.

Unfortunately, he's right on just about all counts...

Ya I guess we should all feel fortunate to stuffed into some quasi euro tin can stuff.

Sorry, but I think you're wrong, and he's an idiot/d-b.

The retro 'stang, Challenger and Camaro are the only bright spots in the market today except for maybe the G8.

Correct. An absolute Idiot. He had his 15 minutes here already.

Too bad an American Icon is made outside the US border.

Actually went and saw one in person today; a black w/tan SS.

MUCH better in person than in pics, that's for sure.
