GM Begins Exporting Chinese-Built Chevrolets To Mexico And Carribean

Although General Motors sells two Chinese-built cars in the United States, those being the Buick Envision and Cadillac CT6 Plug-In Hybrid, it will now ship Chevrolets from China to Mexico and the Carribean. It marks the first time GM will ship Chevrolet cars from China to North America.

Automotive News reports the Chevrolet Sail, built by SAIC-GM, launched in Mexico and the Carribean last week with a delivery of 2,900 cars. It’s the first expansion of the strategic partnership to include more export markets. The company also exports the Sail to other emerging markets in Asia and Latin America.

Last year, the Sail made news after it earned zero stars in Latin American NCAP safety tests. Following the crash test results, GM CEO Mary Barra announced the company would phase out cars without airbags for the 2019 model year.

      A society either puts people above commerce (socialism) or commerce above people (fascism). We are perpetuating choice two. To the point of killing our ecosphere… and therefore… exterminating ourselves.

      Oh, yeah, I know:

      “You’re confusing fascism with capitalism!”

      No, I’m not.

      When you think of ‘capitalism’ you go to a warm fuzzy imaginary place where everyone can have a good job if they’re simply willing to work. China is enslaved, US is underemployed and more important underpaid, too much of the world is starving, and again global warming happened thanks (in a big part) to this ‘benevolent’ capitalism. Capitalism is actually killing us. Genocide = fascism.

      “You’re the fascist! YOU’RE the communist! You’re LAZY! You’re a LOSER!!!”

      I wasn’t aware that you could tune into Fox News from Russia.

      “Capitalism may have it’s shortcomings but there’s no better system.”

      Right. Because people apologize for it instead of fix it. Hint: our ecosphere is going away while you defend commerce over people.

      “I’m going to thumbs down this with several of my sockpuppet accounts too.”

      If that makes you feel like a man, be my guest.
