THe key for Chevy is to be able to compete effectively with SMART.

In addition to features, I think that unless there is a productivity issues arouns producing us spec and non us spec vehicles on the same assembly line, gm should start importing these from GMDAT asap for sale in the us as a test - limited production.

If successful, then consider producing in NA. If we have to wait for the where in NA this thing will be produced, the momentum behind this will probably have either ebbed or been taken by someone else who got there quicker ( eg SMART )
