General Motors is considering a new vehicle for its Bowling Green assembly plant, and the state government stepped in Thursday to entice it with $7.5 million in tax breaks.

The automaker is mum on what vehicle it might be adding at the plant, which produces Corvettes, but the head of the local union there said he thinks it's the next generation of the Corvette, which GM is expected to begin manufacturing by 2013.

I'm going to read between the lines. Add "new vehicle" means another car line........possibly bring Camaro production to Bowling Green ???? Freeing up space at Oshawa for next generation Full Sized Truck. My .02

Bowling Green is way undercapacity in production numbers.GM has got to do something to get young men and women to buy a Corvette. The average age for Corvette buyers is just too old. I was looking at a old Corvette News magazine and remembering the article about Corvette profiles in the 70's the average age male buyer was 26.5 years old. I fit the profile then and almost fit the profile now. Not good.
