Maybe Sue Docherty would consider a music track for her big advertising push for Cheverolet - The Talking Heads / Road to Nowhere! lol

Product baby, product.
This is a first for GM in UK, especially Crushing VW and Ford..

If Chevrolet wants to be taken seriously, It needs to put on its performance shoes in Europe. And if anyone can build a fast car, its Chevrolet. They should probably do an Aveo SS.

I noticed no Malibu or Impala. The Malibu might sell a little, but the Impala, 2014 or 2013 would not.

You can buy both the Volt and the Ampera in the UK, the Ampera is better looking, has the steering wheel on the right side and is the same price. which one would you buy? would be nice to have this version in the U.S. if you could get left hand drive.

Do not be so sure about the 2014. Its an impressive Sedan. I saw it in person.

The Adam should add on to sales, but Vauxhall/Opel need a larger CUV (to replace the Antara) to go w/ the Mokka.

Wow... Chevy.... that is bad

[cad1cts]

Good news for Vauxhall but pathetic news for Chevy. Come on guys get it together over there!!! (>.<)

Why sell Chevrolets in Great Britain when the Vauxhall has always been GM's car there? Oh, has Chevrolet benefitted from the multi-million sponsorship of Manchester United Football Club?
