Default Auto manufacturing plant tours?

Has anyone toured any of the auto manufacturing plants in the US? Specifically, I was considering visiting the Mercedes and Hyundai plants in Alabama, Toyota and Nissan (maybe Saturn) in Tennessee, Honda in Ohio and the big three in Michigan. I have toured the museums and factories for Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi in Germany, Ferrari and Lamborghini in Italy and BMW in South Carolina. I have some time in the fall and thought a AL-TN-OH-MI car tour might be fun

I am located in SC but I am open to traveling to New England, the West coast or Canada.

Thanks

We have a tour of the Toyota Georgetown KY plant where they make the Camry hybrid scheduled for Oct 13, Columbus day. I've reserved 20 seats.

Bob what group are you taking up there? Is your tour specifically for hybrids or is it a general tour that includes hybrids? Either way it sounds pretty interesting.

It is open to anyone ... family members and the curious. I let folks in the hybrid community know about it since they have a special interest. <grins>

I've reserved 20 seats and last year, only two no-shows but we filled up anyway.
