Thought this was interesting

http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2...leans_on_.html

They planned on using images of 9-11 and WW2 (i'm thinking to show against The Tundra) That isn't blatenly trying to rip-off 9-11, nice trucks thou!

I always wondered what % of Chevy cars are REALLY "American"

Years ago, I remember "Car & Driver" magazine making fun of those Chevrolet Camaro commercials.

Remember the commercials for the new (at the time) Camaro where they used the slogan: "what else would you expect from the country that invented rock 'n' roll" -- I guess trying to appeal to the "buy American" crowd.

Well, the funny thing is that not a single Camaro (the model advertised) was ever built in the United States. They were all built in Ontario Canada.

I KNOW I swear they build all their cars outside of the US, I can't stand Chevys personally except maybe the Tahoe group suvs but I drove a trailblazer once, talk about a piece of junk!

I had an Equinox before my X5 and I actually really liked it. But that is the only "American" car I have ever owned.

True and there lies my issue with Chevy they put all their money on certain things (Corvette, trucks, Tahoe etc) and not on mainstream products, I do love the chevy Malibu style steering wheel on the Corvette thou!
