GM Announces C7 to be Built in Bowling Green
The General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant was packed full of
community and state leaders, GM officials, media and supporters of Corvette today in hopes of good news with regards to the future of Corvette and Bowling Green. It was good news indeed as GM North America President Mark Reuss took to the podium and announced their plans to invest $131 million in the Bowling Green Assembly Plant, "This facility is particularly thrilling for me to be at because I've had Corvettes, in fact, Corvette is one of the reasons why I went to work for the company a long time ago," said Reuss. Reuss announced that the next generation Corvette, the C7, would be produced in Bowling Green and that 250 jobs would be created. He added that the current generation will continue for about two more years while work happens behind the scenes to update the facility and ensure the Corvette will continue to be the true American sports car built here for many years to come. The C7 model is predicted to be debuted Spring of 2013 for a 2014 model year Corvette. "As you know Bowling Green is a special place and not just to me and to GM but to Corvette lovers around the world. This place is THE mecca for those who appreciate true affordable sports car performance and they come from the four corners of the globe to see what you do here," said Reuss. "It is amazing and it is inspiring and it is very American."

Nah, Spring Hill was targeted some time ago to make the Equinox, Terrain and Traverse. They announcement was to publicize the fact that they are making $131 million in improvements to make the C7’s at Bowling Green. There was never any real doubt that they would be built anywhere but Bowling Green. Still, good news to hear. |
