it's sad to see people get laid off, but its the sign of the times.

The Camaro is not 'kicking ass', it is hideous compared to the Mustang.....:)

The reason why its going slow is because everyone is waiting for the 2011 models, once production starts on those I would put money on that plant having 3 shifts!

Yeah not sure why anyone would buy a 2010, with the 2011 and the 5.0 on the way. It's almost like Ford annouced what was coming too soon.

I sure as hell would wait.

Sad to see jobs go, but the poeple want the 5.0 over the weaker 4.6 package.

If this is the case why lay people off than? it is about the same time as the model year change.

I'll take a 2010 4.6 with the heavy discounts that will be applied once the 5.0 comes out :D I LOVE the look of the 2010 and the 3xx hp will definately be easier to drive in the snow :devil

I also looked at a 2010 and price with incentives was down to $23K. Then i saw the coyote and the wait and demand for that--dealers will be marking them up again.

I thought about putting a ford whipple on a 4.6, should be enough HP for me. I just cant get over the ugly rear end.

Cant win em all.

I thought the article said that they wouldn't necessarily be laid off, just given the option to switch to another plant?
