Supposedly both plants in Oshawa, Ontario are going to be revamped to build the Zeta cars (RWD Impala, Camaro, RWD Lucerne, RWD DTS), but it is the time frame that's interesting. They quote September 2009 for the Camaro? That would mean 2010 model year.
Am I the only one who was under the impression it would come sooner than that? Perhaps it will be built somewhere else in the meantime?

Ontario = RWD...just funny that they are making the RWD LX models and now this. On a side note, is the challenger also going to be built in ontario?
I would also think that 2010 seems too far away.

When they showed the Camaro concept and announced that it would go into production, I think they mentioned a 2008 introduction as a 2009 model and I thought that delay was too long. Will there still be the same excitement for this car in 3 years?

Osh-awa, I guess is the best way to describe it, relative to O-shawa or other pronunciations anyway. The plant isn't far from GM Canada headquarters, also in Oshawa. Oshawa is really Canada's "Motor City," as it has the history of McLaughlin Motors there, as well as the Canadian Automotive Museum.
