You GOTTA be joking Chino. The only thing that'll be Chevy on those cars is the bowtie, and even that will be manufactured in China. Are their Toyotas and Hondas crap too, just because they have a GM-owned emblem on the hood?

As for the "only buy American" people, you've gotta wonder what rock they've been living under all this time. Are there any mid-sized or smaller American cars that don't have Asian power plants?

It is a neat design, just a little too boxy.

you guys realize that the last american built car that had 100% american parts was produced back in the late 1950's. since then the majority of parts are from japan mexico canada and europe... take a look at some of the ignition components on a late model corvette, they are made by kawasaki. and a lot of parts on say a camry are made here in the usa. my point is people who buy american cars to support the american product are not supporting as much as they think... i may be wrong but i remember reading about a particular toyota model (camry?), american factory built, using more american made parts than some GM and ford cars built cars at the time. anyways... thats just my two cents. if people did more research on a car they like they would be surprised what they are buying.

one good example is the fusion vs. camry vs. accord. the camry and accord are both built in the US. i think i remember reading the fusion being built in mexico. so toyota and honda actually have the more AMERICAN car. gm also builds a crap load of cars in canada. i guess when chevy says "an american revolution", they mean STOP building cars here and START building cars elsewhere...

Cant wait to see the YouTube videos "Yaris vs Beat (beat gets beat)"

Who knows, I might have to make/post one

My girlfriend says it looks really cool, she thought that would be neat to see out on the road.

I told her the first one we see is probably going to be getting dragged down the highway at 60+ underneath a transfer truck
