According to the press release, the facility improvements include three new paint systems for Camaro-specific colors: Summit White, Bright Yellow, and Red Hot. Lansing will also get two new robotic framers, which allow better dimensional control to provide a more precise drive experience.
Today’s announcement combined with others in the last four weeks accounts for nearly $2.8 billion of the $5.4 billion that GM said April 30 it would invest in U.S. facilities over the next three years.
