Who is it that owns Chevrolet (as in the cars formerly known as Daewoos) now - GM in the US, GM Europe or part GM Europe part Magna?

Kia?)

Thanks for reading, you've been a wonderful audience. Don't forget to try the veal and tip your waitress. We now return you to the topic


I think we'll see Triple Eight back next year, either as Triple Eight or in a new guise. They know Pro1000 isn't necessarily going to be a success ...
Chevrolet (former Daewoo) is GM, not Magna.
Opel/Vauxhall is (or will be) Magna (but GM owns still 25% or so).

Why would it be a slap in the face of 888?
It's RML who developed the Chevrolet so if Chevrolet UK let 888 run the cars it would be a slap in the face of RML.
