President Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak toured General Motors Orion Assembly Plant on Friday and spoke to several hundred workers and guests in support of the pending U.S-South Korean Free Trade Agreement.

GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson joined the two presidents on the tour of the 4.3-million square-foot facility, which is ramping up production of the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic, the only sub-compact built in the United States. The 2012 Buick Verano will go into production later this year at the same plant.
