GM Launches Truck Production at Indiana Plant - Where's the Press Fanfare?

http://wardsauto.com/ar/gm_truck_indiana/

I dont know if it was posted but if it was im sorry, it just that when I read this it makes me thing about all the Press that the New Tundra has received and about how it will steal a lot of sales from the domestic and I havent heard anything on the media about GM building trucks on the same state as Toyota and they have been there longer than them contributing for more years to their local economy

General Motors Corp.’s new fullsize Chevrolet and GMC pickups began rolling off the line this week at the auto maker’s Fort Wayne, IN, assembly plant.

In the last year, GM says it invested about $210 million in tooling the Indiana plant for the ’07 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. The plant employs 2,900 workers.

Fort Wayne will produce multiple variants of the new pickups, including 2- and 4-wheel-drive versions; regular and extended cabs; and long-, short- and short-short-box models.

GM expects annual output to reach 260,000 units at the Fort Wayne plant.

GM’s Oshawa, Ont., Canada, facility produced Job One of the new pickups, a crew cab Silverado, during the first week of October.
