More car production coming to Lordstown?

LORDSTOWN — Officials at General Motors car plant here said production plans have not changed, despite news reports that the automaker may be shifting some production from South Korea to Lordstown.

Tom Mock, a GM spokesman in Lordstown, said the plant is continuing to build only the Chevrolet Cobalt with plans to launch the Chevrolet Cruze in the third quarter.

“We don’t have any other news or product allocations to report on at this time,” Mock said.

The Chosun Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper, and Dow Jones Newswires reported this week that some additional GM models are coming to Lordstown because a South Korean plant doesn’t have enough capacity for them.
