Just curious, seriously.
Well I think there are a couple reasons Chevrolet is getting a lot of product. The first being that GM is taking on a huge initiative to take Chevrolet upscale a half a notch and take it global to tackle the Toyota brand head-on. They are aggressively expanding Chevrolet into every market they can and they really do want to unify the Chevrolet lineup globally, even with the US market. So that is obviously a big reason. The second reason would be that Chevrolet is basically the bread-and-butter division. If Chevrolet isn't doing well, it does not matter how well the other divisions are doing. Chevrolet has always gotten more than everyone else for that reason alone.
