GM today announced the appointment of current managing director of GM Canada, Scott Bell, as the vice president of Global Chevrolet.
Bell, who has served as the president and managing director of GM Canada since September of 2019, will repatriate to the United States as he moves into the new role, GM said. Bell started his career at GM in 1989 and has held numerous sales, service and marketing positions within the company since that time. He graduated from Ferris State University and holds a master’s degree from Central Michigan University.
Scott Bell
In a statement released Monday, GM praised Bell for his efforts to help lead GM Canada through the COVID-19 pandemic. The automaker also noted that Bell also oversaw investments in GM Oshawa Assembly and CAMI Assembly plants in Ontario – projects that are seen as critically important to GM’s future success.
“Under Bell’s leadership, GM Canada achieved profitable sales growth and built strong relationships with the Canadian dealer network,” the automaker said. “Bell also led GM Canada through many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic’s early days, including the production of 10 million face masks for the Government of Canada. He also led significant investments in Canadian manufacturing operations, including the reopening of Oshawa Assembly and the conversion of CAMI Assembly — Canada’s first large-scale EV plant — to produce BrightDrop’s electric delivery vans.”
Steve Hill
Bell replaces former Chevy boss Steve Hill in his new role, who has been moved to the newly created Commercial Growth Strategies and Operations arm. In this role, Hill will oversee the commercialization of future business opportunities that support GM’s revenue growth commitments, the automaker said.
Replacing Bell as the managing director of GM Canada will be the automaker’s current executive chief engineer for global Mid-Size Truck, Medium Duty Truck and Van programs, Marissa West.

Hey Scott, can we get back to Europe please since BEV’s are simply on fire there?
How dumb for GM to take Chevrolet and Cadillac out of Europe. Go Back and do so ASAP!!!
That move was the one I was most disappointed with Barra
Here’s a challenge for you Mr Bell: I purchased a Chevy Spark from Permian GM of Hobbs NM May 20,2022 which was listed as “in transit”. I have not received a single call back after leaving several voice messages and I just want to know where my car is or get a vague timeline of when it will be here.
Mr Bell, you will be happy to know that my new car was delivered to me today after posting my concerns just last night. I don’t know if you were instrumental in making it happen or if the stars finally aligned, but I am extremely grateful. Kudos to GM for quality products and good service!
Me and my wife wants to know when are you all going to build our 2022 chevy blazer Lt. We order the 22 chevy blazer they 1st of june of 22. The color is the blue gloss met. We don’t have a car. MTL auto repair shop of waynesboro Ga total our 2012 chevy equinox Lt on Oct 29th of 2021 so we do not have a car to go to our doctor apt. That is why we order the 2022 chevy blazer Lt AWD BECAUSE WE LIVE PN A DIRT ROAD.
This is my first time working with Tropical Chevrolet in Miami Fl. and I must this will be my final time. I normally have a good experience with Chevrolet but the lack of compassion after I was hit and the Collision center’s unethical practices and rude staff (Sam) I just want this to be over quickly. Mr. Bell I’m sure this is not how you want Chevrolet represented- as giving clients a hard time and deceitfulness.
My husband and I purchased a 2022 Chevy Bolt EV on May 9, 2022. We financed the sale, putting down $8,000, with no trade-in. It is our understanding that there is a reimbursement on this car, but we received no letter about it. We have called Chevy at least 5 times about this matter, really getting no answer to our question why we are not getting the reimbursement. At least five times we were told someone would call us back, with never a call back at all. Today someone told us we were not eligible to get the reimbursement but nobody there knew why. We paid a significantly higher price for our car than the exact same model is selling for today, which is why Chevy was offering the reimbursement in the first place. We just want to understand why we are not eligible for this reimbursement, and we would like to be treated cordially and respectfully by the Chevy customer service representatives.
Dear Mr. Bell
I own a 2020 Chevy Bolt.
As yet I have not received the application for the $ 1400.00 Visa card.
The software patch has been done.
Would you please put me in contact with the proper people to accomplish this task.
Cordially,
Richard D. Eyges
Mr.Bell
I ordered a 2024 Silverado LTZ ,(after trying to order 2023 ) $ 75k out the door. Took a year to be delivered, after 2 years of challenging looking and obstacles and chip problems and dealers trying to charge $5k to $8k more because of low manufacturing numbers on completely built vehicles.
After all that , I enjoyed it for (1) day , truck was not cleaned and detailed which allowed me to miss all the (adding up) problems with this truck.
I order a truck, waited a year and was completely Disappointed in the fit and finish and attention to detail to make this a complete and finished $ 75k truck.
Body panels not aligned, body damage !! , carpet not finished under back seats, I wish truck was clean so I could have noticed it and not purchased THIS truck !!!!
These are NOT dealership problems, these issues came from your FACTORY !!!!!
Dealership at fault for only: not checking the vehicle over completely !!!
I thought that people and especially car makers would have more pride in this industry, slow down line so people can have more time to make your vehicles complete and highly finished !!
Worst part is I picked up truck on 1/17/2024 and all miles (under 300 miles total on truck) taking it back to dealer to show issues, Dealership is about 90 min drive one way to dealership 130 miles round trip .
My bubble was burst !!!! Truck sits in driveway !!!
Should have bought a used truck, that way I know that I was paying for a used and not perfect NEW truck !!!!
56 years old, Been in a GM family my whole entire life = Chevy, Buicks, GMC, Cadillac’s even Pontiac’s.
Sold my 02 Silverado (bought new) in 21 to buy a new Chevy truck and this is what I get !!!
Very disappointed !!!!
Good evening Mr. Bell, The starter on my 2020 Equinox failed for the second time in 6 weeks. The repairs for this 2nd failure were performed at Key Chevrolet dealership in Middletown CT and took 23 days to complete. The dealership tells me that they are unable to connect with anyone at GM who will help with recovering the cost of the rental car that I rented for the 23 days of repair time. I am contacting you since I received a Chevrolet Customer Satisfaction survey with your name on it. Please let me or the dealership know if you can help with this situation. Thank you, David Locke
