The Camaro has been built in Canada since at least the 93 model year... maybe even earlier. I just know all the 4th generation camaros (and firebirds) came from Canada.

Not if you keep some hand sanitizer in the center console and use it each time you enter and start the car, and again before exiting the vehicle...

Isn't the Camaro supposed to be as American as apple pie?

So Accord's and Camry's (built here) are more American than the Camaro.

Fantastic.

Yup you are right. The Firebird and Camaro were build in Quebec. When GM closed the plant GM agreed to never build the Camaro/Firebird anywhere other than Quebec or Canada I can't remember if was limited to Quebec or Canada

Does anyone else think a $5k factory wheel package is ridiculous?

So the name of our country is shared with the name of the continent our country is located within. What relevance does that have?

Yeah just because its on the same contient doesn't mean anything. It's not U.S/American made if its in Canada. Our economy and Canada's are completely different. Anyways, why bump a 2 year old thread? IBTL.
