Chevrolet Moving Next Generation Camaro Production Back to the U S

Camaro

Chalk up a “W” for American manufacturing, because General Motors today announced that it is moving Camaro production back to the U.S. The next-generation Camaro will be built in Michigan, at GM’s Lansing Grand River plant, alongside the Cadillac CTS and the ATS. The Camaro currently is produced at GM’s Oshawa assembly plant in Ontario, Canada. 

The move from Canada makes sense for the Camaro, which is set to migrate from the rear-drive Zeta platform it currently sits on now to the smaller, lighter Alpha architecture that underpins the new Cadillac ATS and, soon, the next CTS. (Check out our detailed breakdowns of GM’s rear-drive plans for Cadillac and Chevrolet for more.) Hence, building the Camaro in Lansing with a pair of rear-drive Caddys with the same bones just makes sense. Right now, the Camaro is the only rear-drive car being produced at Oshawa, which likely is neither efficient nor cost-effective.

GM did not specify exactly when Camaro production in Lansing would commence, but figure on the newest iteration of Chevy’s all-American muscle car arriving for 2015.
