UAW Contract Reveals C7 Corvette And Cadillac XLR Destined for 2012

Some of the details emerging from the General Motors contract with the United Auto Workers have revealed what the General will be building and when. The details are contained in commitments made by GM to build vehicles at specified plants, and disclose the nature of the vehicles to be built.

One of the most interesting details is the GM commitment concerning the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly plant. That’s been the home of the Corvette since GM acquired the facility from Chrysler and is also where the Cadillac XLR is built. The contract indicates that the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky will be moving to Bowling Green eventually, as well. As the plant currently builds to capacity on a single shift, the plan to move those models to Bowling Green clearly implies adding a second shift at that plant.

Cool...too bad the pic shown was a very old concept car. Glad GM was able to put the UAW under control!
