Back in 2009, General Motors announced that its Spring Hill Tennessee production facility was to be closed, costing some 2,000 employees their jobs in the process. The new General Motors is reportedly to reopen the facility after long negotiations with the UAW.
The plant was originally meant to produce Saturn small cars, but it will now see a new vehicles there and will Springs Hill will also serve as a secondary source of North Americana production for popular models.

The news isn’t official yet, but various sources, and Automotive News suggest this is likely to take place under the new agreement with the workers’ union.

The good news is that this is one of the most advanced facilities GM has, having pushed a massive $700 million renovation in 2007. Between 1990 and 2007, it was responsible for making 3.7 million Saturns, so high-volume cars are likely to be made there.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
