    Weren't camaro's and firebird's both built in Canada? St. Terese or something like that? Some guy messaged me on MySpace:

    "I'm just a random person, but I saw a comment you left on a video, and I just thought i'd respond. Camaros and Firebirds were built in Bowling Green, Kentucky right next to the Corvettes. The new ones though, the ones coming out in late 2008, will be built in Canada. Toronto to be exact."

    I think he is ill informed on the history, but I could be wrong.

      "As a result of the decision to halt production of the Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird, the GM plant in Ste. Therese, Quebec, is scheduled to close this week."

        afaik, f-bods, third gens at least, were built in Van Nuys Cali (my bird actually), and a plant in Michigan. Also included the Ste Therese place, and all 4th gens were built in the land of molson.

                  GM had a contract with the Canadian Government allowing them to only build them in Canuckistan. Atleast with the 4th gens...
