I think the import lovers are feeling the squeeze when they see world class domestic cars at an affordable level. I would assume that Teamplaya and perhaps FordrulesAll (by the way, Ford does have great product as J.D. Powers has recently stated)have not stepped foot into the Chevy retailer to test drive this car.

I work at a Chevy Dealership in Michigan and all I have to say is that we cant keep them on the lot. And I have been getting calls from other dealerships asking if we have any.

I think Chevy has taken a step forward.
