My Malibu was made in Kansas City Mo. I'm curious if the Malibu is also made in another plant.

I found my answer, it is also made in Lake Orion Mich. which is near Detroit.
If the members in Canada check the sticker on the inside of the door it probably shows Lake Orion.

Wow. My avalanche is made in Mexico and Grand Prix in Canada. I won't know what to do with a car made in the US! :)

a v.i.n. beginning with 1,4 or 5 identifies a U.S. made vehicle,a 2 identifies a canadian made vehicle

If it's built in Mexico by Mexicans then I'll go out on a limb here and guess that they're not illegal aliens.

I tried one out yesterday that was made in Kansas City. Living in Canada, I do not know if that is in Michigan or not!

No Kansas City is in Missouri, the mid-west US.
I'm surprised a Missouri car showed up in NB Canada.

I live in Kansas City... :confused:

I read that the Kansas City plant was on strike for awhile, but could not find any more info to see how long that lasted. Maybe that's why your car came from Lake Orion.

My mistake, I thought it was on the Mo. side until I read the Wikipedia link.

Just goes to show you, don't believe everthing I say :D

The Fairfax plant's physical address is Kansas City, KS. There is no "Fairfax, KS". It's located in the Fairfax industrial district, which is just south of the Missouri river is KS. The river divides KS/MO for the northern half of the city.

My dealer told me the Kansas City Fairfax plant strike ended last week, so maybe production will catch up . And maybe we will not see Kansas City cars delivered to Eastern Canada :)

Keep posting. It's interesting to see where each plant's cars went.
