Our coverage of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit continues today with a look at the good news the people at the General Motors Grand River Assembly Plant got last year: GM will move production of the Camaro to Lansing from the plant in Oshawa, Ontario.

Current State’s Scott Pohl spoke with Al Oppenheiser, Chief Engineer on the Chevrolet Camaro Project. He explains that the Lansing Grand River Plant is already set up to build rear wheel drive cars in comparison to the Oshawa plant, but production will not start this year.
