GM said last November that one of the assembly plants in Oshawa will close in 2008 as part of cost-cutting initiatives. Targeted for shutdown is the Oshawa No. 2 plant, which currently builds the Pontiac Grand Prix and Buick LaCrosse/Allure. The No. 1 plant is set to lose assembly of its Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Impala models in 2009 and would pick up the rear-wheel-drive Camaro along with other models under the proposal approved by the CAW. The Monte Carlo and Impala would likely become all-wheel drive.
My question is, why wouldn’t they make the Monte Carlo and Impala RWD? I’m not complaining about the consideration of AWD, but RWD seems more logical to me considering the history of each car.
it could be 20 wheel drive, come with a free blowjob from the hottest girl ever and it would still blow so much fucking ass it will make your head spin.
When the AWD Ford five hundred came out I was mildly excited until I read
all of the scathing reviews about how it handles like a Crown Victoria.
Nice execution Ford.:smash2:
Probably because they will continue off of the current FWD configuration, FWD packaging, tranny, ect., ect. and have a transfer case going to the rear vs. building an all new RWD platform.
