If Jeff Bridges is running around renouncing things, I think he should renounce his role in “Against All Odds”. That movie was terrible!

This is an interesting diagram floating around…. Now, I think the 2010 Camaro is good product from GM. But one thing that I found was interesting was this diagram circulating around about it’s diversity.

Camaro Assembly Factory:: Ontario, Canada (confirm with all Camaros currently have vins beginning with “2”)

Not a slam on the Camaro..Also the drivetrain components arent detailed so there’s definitely stuff not mentioned in this diagram…Nevertheless, this is probably how GM should have been building cars all along…mixing and matching the best parts for the best prices…But the diversity is pretty interesting.

If you really want to walk the walk about buying american it not just about buying from GM/Ford/Chrysler, but you probably you probably (1) should check the vin to see where the assembly took place and (2) check the total parts content of the vehicle % domestically sourced for the specific make and model. This is usually found on the window sticker. VINS that begin with 1 (and 4) are domestically assembled, 4 typically being a foreign auto maker producing a car domestically in U.S.
