OT - a few more years to recapture your youth: NEW YORK (CNNfn) - General Motors Corp. refuted reports Friday that it is set to stop making the Camaro and Firebird models, saying it is committed to the sports coupes through at least the 2002 model year. "While as a policy General Motors Corp. does not publicly discuss its long-term future product plans, recent reports of the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird's pending demise are inaccurate," the company said Friday afternoon in a statement. The statement followed a story in the Friday Oakland, Mich., Press that said the world's largest automaker would stop making the cars due to declining sales. The company has committed to the Canadian Auto Workers that it will keep the plant in the Montreal suburb of Ste. Therese, Quebec, open at least through September 2002, the company said. The plant has about 1,200 employees making nothing but the two models, along with the Trans Am version of the Firebird. "At this time, no product has been assigned to the plant after that date, but GM continues to study possible options," the statement said. "Nothing has changed concerning GM's production plans for the Camaro and Firebird. In fact, special editions of the Camaro and Firebird are in development for the 2002 model year."
