The G8 is a Holden (Aussie GM) design. Has been long before it was brought here, it's not a new car design.

The woes of the US manufacturing base are not confined to the auto industry, it is a problem many decades old.

Absurd union contracts as well as management failure have pretty much ruined our economy. There can be no sound economy without a manufacturing base. We can't survive on the service sector alone. We cannot survive if everyone is working at Wal Mart. Our politicians are inept and do not ave the skills, the balls or the intelligence to fix the problem.

The Camaro is based on the same (Zeta) platform as the G8/Holden Commodore. In fact, the Camaro was developed by Holden in Australia and the exterior design is by a Korean guy. How's that for an "American Muscle car"

The way manufacturing works I seriously doubt anything made today is from any one place. Designs are often done in one country, bits and pieces in another, raw materials from another and the actual assembly in another.

That doesn't bother me one bit as long as I get a quality product.
