General Motors announced that the Chevrolet Camaro will move from Oshawa, Ontario, to Lansing Grand River, Michigan, when the current model reaches the end of its cycle.
The decision is based on a comprehensive business case, GM says. Lower capital investment was a key factor, along with improved production efficiencies.
Right now, the Camaro is the only rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle built in Oshawa. The next-generation model will join other RWD cars at Lansing Grand River including the Cadillac CTS and ATS.
Camaro production will continue in Oshawa for a few short years alongside the Buick Regal. Also, GM recently invested $185 million to support the launch of two new products on the flex line: the all-new Cadillac XTS and the future Chevrolet Impala. The latter even prompted the automaker to announce the addition of a third shift.
Moreover, the consolidated line at the Oshawa plant will keep producing the current-generation Chevrolet Impala and Equinox until June 2014.
