Chevy announced plans to build a new, as-yet named compact V4 vehicle at its Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant and add a 3rd shift at the facility:

Obviously great news for the Youngstown area economy.  Chevy, logically given $4/gallon gasoline, is shifting focus away from the truck and SUV market and focusing more on smaller cars.  Lordstown Assembly has been in that business at least since the Cavalier was in production in the 1990s and now makes the Cobalt, so this is a logical move.
