First 2016 Chevrolet Camaros Produced in Lansing

DURAND, Mich. –– After months of anticipation, Chevrolet produced the first 2016 Camaros in Lansing on Monday, Oct. 26, 2015, in the suitable American colors red, white, and blue.

It’s the first time the Camaro is being produced on U.S. soil since 1992 when General Motors moved production from California to Canada. The three pony cars are of the 100 first Camaros produced for consumers. Until this point, the plant has manufactured pilot Camaros for testing purposes only.

The Camaro’s prodigal return to America is being hailed as a monumental as it has resulted in the ushering in of hundreds of new manufacturing jobs for Michigan’s capital area. After investing $175 million into its Lansing plant, GM hired 450 employees over the summer to hold down the second shift and to sustain production during high demand.

The first 2016 Chevrolet Camaros produced in Lansing will debut the muscle car’s “new ball game,” in the words of Scott Whybrew, GM’s North American manufacturing manager who spoke with USA Today. Whybrew noted the sixth generation Camaro reaches 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and covers a quarter of a mile in just over 12 seconds.

To reach high performance standards, the Camaro 1LT packs a 2.0L 4-cylinder or 3.6L V6 engine, and the 1SS contains a 6.2L V8 engine. Both models are available in coupe and convertible body styles.

The 2016 Camaro hasn’t yet made itself a spectacle at our Chevy dealership near Flint, MI, but you can expect plenty of time to analyze its new design elements and performance enhancements when it arrives in mid-November. We recommend that you stop by in just a few short weeks to take an exhilarating test-drive, or to consider any of the other new Chevy cars we have for sale.

2016 Chevy Camaro Goes Topless Next Spring

DURAND, Mich.– If you weren’t wowed by last month's debut of the 2016 Chevy Camaro that will be manufactured in Lansing, MI, this should do the job. Prepare to battle against the wind when the 2016 Chevy Camaro goes topless next spring and you’re driving into the sunset.

The topless 2016 Chevy Camaro will make owning a convertible a breeze thanks to its electro-hydraulic power roof system, designed in the fashion of the coupe’s sleek body. The convertible will have the most advanced top on the market, capable of:

Fully automatic operation with latches that automatically release and secure it
Opening and closing at speeds up to 30 mph
Remote opening with the key fob
Staying fashionable with a hard tonneau cover that deploys automatically to hide the top when it’s lowered and stowed

“The 2016 Camaro coupe will set the benchmark for the segment in terms of technology, performance and design,” said Todd Chritensen, Camaro marketing manager. “Adding the most sophisticated top in the segment brings another level of refinement.”

The 2016 Chevy Camaro goes topless next spring, but that doesn’t mean the convertible isn’t just as cozy inside as the coupe. On a cool day, keep it warm inside your convertible thanks to its multilayered roof capable keeping things comfortable and quiet inside.

Don’t worry about the 2016 Camaro convertible falling below the standards of its coupe counterpart– the convertible has the same sleek, light design as the cope, with a reduction of 200 pounds from the former generation.

There’s nothing we enjoy more than the few warm months we get in Michigan, and the 2016 Chevy Camaro convertible makes that even easier. We’re looking forward to stocking a few of these next spring, along with some of the other New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks that we keep at our New Lothrup Area Chevy Dealership!

2016 Camaro will be Manufactured in Lansing

DURAND, Mich.– We all need to give America’s best-selling performance car for the last five years a big welcome home. The word is out that the 2016 Camaro will be manufactured in Lansing! After 23 years, Chevy’s pride and joy is coming back to the state where the auto industry’s gears first started turning.

While it’s big news that the Camaro will be back in the state where the auto industry began, it’s even bigger news that the 2016 Camaro will be manufactured in Lansing at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant. The decision to manufacture the 2016 Camaro here will immediately establish hundreds of jobs for Lansing, and Chevy expects to add 500 more by the end of summer!

Chevy will invest $175 million into the plant to fund new tooling and equipment. Two robotic framers will be installed to improve dimensional control in the manufacturing process, along with three new paint systems used for colors specific to the 2016 Camaro– Summit White, Bright Yellow and Red Hot.

In our opinion, there’s no better place for the 2016 Camaro to be manufactured than our state capital. We love seeing Chevy improve our state’s economy through new jobs! That’s why we’re proud of our inventory of New Chevy Cars and New Chevy Trucks at our Genesee County Area Dealership!
