"By adding a second vehicle, GM will begin to utilize even more of its 200,000 vehicle per year capacity at the Boxwood Road assembly plant,"
Wilmington can crank out 200,000 cars at full capacity? So what's stopping them?!?!? We dont need that many.... 50k Solstive, 60k Sky, and 25k Opels each year should do the trick!!

They can't produce this many cars with one kappa platform. They would need alot more. They can produce max around 40,000 cars a year on one platform. The platform cost alot of money. ( Millions ) They aren't going to add 4 more platforms and 4 years down the line the demand slows because the people who want a Solstice or Sky have them already. They are adding another assembly line as we speak. But that will only speed it up very very little.
And personaly. I don't want 50k Solstice and 60k Sky's. These are suppose to be limited production and should stay that way. That's one advantage of owning one. It makes them special. And you will never see more Sky's made then the Solstice. Pontiac has 2800 dealerships vs. 480 Saturn.
