The Life Savers plant in Michigan, is closing after 35 years and moving to Canada "to a plant near Montreal", according to the article linked below.

Hmmmmmm.......a certain F-body plant is also closing it's plant in Canada, after 35 years, to move to who knows where? Coincidence? Maybe the next generation Camaro will be produced in Life Saver colors!

Conspiracy theorists could be all over this one!

Forget the conspiracy ... what should be asked is how many federal and provincial $$$ are being provided as an incentive

.... I really wish ALL governments would stay out of the subsidy game.

Whoops, sorry 'bout that, Art. I was just poking some fun about the 35 year run of Life Savers and the F-body.

The F-body is shutting down a Canadian plant in Quebec and Life Saver production is moving to a Canadian plant in Quebec....I found it an interesting comparison.

Posted by poSSum (Member # 119) on :

Nothing to be sorry about ... I completely missed the 35 year component of it ...

I didn't actually see anything about govt' incentives in the article, it just seems it's the way corporate America operates.

So does that mean that the next generation Camaro may be built in Michigan?

Let the rumors begin! I just want mine in YELLOW, please.....the third year it's back (I am keeping the faith). That's when we'll have the $$ to get another Camaro.

Yes, but that would be lemon flavored. I was thinking about a nice cherryLife Saver, er, I mean, Camaro.

Can't change our Navy Blue to Yellow.......with the white top and leather, it will look like a reversed hard boiled egg!

I've seen the combination on a first Gen car (yes, yellow seats in a white car, built that way from the factory). I call it the egg combination!
