other than mercedes benz, most of the world gets 30% or more of their parts from GM sub corporations.
What's really funny is that British automotive press (print and TV) hate on American cars, but all of the guys at Goodwood racetrack refer to the 'Vette as the best car in their stable- over the Ferrari 355, 360, Porsche GT, Lambo Diablo, and a bunch of other heavy hitters.
