September 22, 200520 yr I read about this way in the past, but have since forgotten. What was annual production of this plant supposed to be ? One of the recent Solstice topics said GM says it will build about 7,000 Solstices this year. I was thinking this sounded low.
September 22, 200520 yr that's only this year...i believe it is supposed to be around 18k-20k when they have a full year,
September 22, 200520 yr Isn't the process of assembly for Kappa more involved, more difficult? Wilmington used to build the L-Series, before that it either built minivans or Malibus/Cutlasses I dont remember which, so it should be able to handle decent capacity for regular assembly.
September 22, 200520 yr Production the last I saw was bumped to 15,000 with 13,000 sold. They were just ramping up slow and preparing for the Sky and Opel to start production.
September 22, 200520 yr I thought the goal was to do enough with Kappa to have the plant at full capacity which would put it in the same ball park as any other GM plant.

[post="18400"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] That plant used to build mid size cars with a capacity to build around 200k a year. They won't come anywhere near that with KAPPA,maybe 60k-80k a year.
September 27, 200520 yr I think they'll reach their production capacity, or at least come close to it, if a certain concept vehicle debuting at NAIAS is produced http://www.cheersandgears.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/AH-HA_wink.gif
September 27, 200520 yr no they can at maximum capicity 1500 a monthso thats 18000 a year i read that on fastlane.gmblogs.com from lutzs but it has to be hand welded (the frame) all that hydra forming metal. also it was supposed to be a low production vechile so not every one would have one cuz then it would lose its aw that is a sweet car i want that.
