As an American tax payer I was forced to bail you out. The government owns like 61% of GM.

Do I get some kind of owner discount?

Why only a 5 year warranty when I can get a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty from Hyundai?

@KhyronDesintegrado ..."I think the one thing that a lot of people overlook with this is where they got the money to pay back the loan. And it isn't from earnings. ... It's actually from another pool of TARP money that they've already received," he said Wednesday. "I don't think we should exaggerate it too much. Remember that the source of this money is just other TARP money."

Honestly, people are just mad. This car is AMAZING. Chevy is definitely back on its feet, just wait.

Give me an alloy block, and I'd be way more interested.

I think it's a great car, I just dislike the rear suspension. It has a torsion beam, they should've put a multilink or double wishbone suspension but oh well...

It's not pushrod, it's DOHC

@slicybeaver93 Yes Suzuki's are great cars and GM did a absolutely great job making the badges

@Rockynight Assmebled in Mexico actually, parts come from all over, but its a American made car company so all contributions go to them, the that money is then spent elsewhere to buy the parts and build another car. They mark up the price from factory to make a profit. Most the money goes to our economy the rest to where ever the hell GM gets all of thier parts.

This is a hell of great car just drove it today,, the chassis and engine come from germany and the interior was done in by korea, The engine and 6 speed tranny is what make it a great daily driver. Nothing against imports as ive owned dsms and celica's but hyundai's are just terrible, they have only been making cars for like 20 years and in the long run chevy is more reliable. just saying from past experience with people who have owned tiburons and elantra's ,
