If you are like me with an order in for a new C8 with a TPW you are scared of the prospects for a plant shut down.
Here is the latest news on that.
Bowling Green is open, for now. As this is a moving target, we should consider that this situation could change.
Good news for now.

The Big 3 Detroit automakers and the UAW are joining forces to ensure worker safety as coronavirus threatens plant shutdowns

Convened by UAW President Rory Gamble, the task force will be led by Gamble, GM CEO Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim Hackett, and FCA CEO Mike Manley.

Fingers crossed!
 
I think that all auto plants will be evaluated individually. On the heels of the recent strike, GM needs production. All of the BIG Three and UAW are in this together to minimize the economic impact of any closures. I think they will spend money to establish employee screening and early detection of symptoms and educate them on social distancing in their off work hours. We will just have to wait and see how the US deals with the broader issues. They will balance the risk carefully as they cannot afford to shutter all manufacturing domestically. It will be a wait and see situation for sure. I am sure that the CCD will provide guidance on the appropriate actions to the auto sector.

I wish that were true but evidence shows the opposite. It's way more than 3k people. That's 3k out of only some 20k that have been tested.

Overreacting is not a bad thing in this instance.

I agree. I looked up some stats and found that every year 1.2 million people die in car crashes. Thats 3200 people a day. We think the virus is a threat? Bad drivers are a worse threat.
 
I expect that all C8`s will be sprayed with disinfectant before leaving the plant. Possible a Meguirs or Mothers spray.
 
This is going to get worse before it gets better and it is growing and lets hope they get a hold of it.....I worked through SARS in Ontario and that was not fun....I just hope that nobody's family has to go through this especially peoples parents and infants....look outside ourselves and think of the ones whould would be impacted most.

Was just chatting with my dealership and my status is now 3000 and he also assured me that they would stick to the agreed price on the car. With our Canuck Duck at a 17 year low I was concerned about the exchange. He assured me it would not effect the price. Since I have already paid for most of the car up front. Nice to know there are still ethical dealerships out there. He was almost definite I would get my convertible this year, but if this virus hangs on for a long time the 21 would be the same price.

C8's are still coming to Canada. My dealership just got one last week that was supposed to come in at the end of March. Don't give up yet.
