Chevy 'Cruzes' Into Britain: First Customer-Ordered Models Arrive

The largest batch of brand new Chevrolets ever to arrive in Britain included the first customer-ordered Cruzes ahead of the compact sedan's UK showroom debut later this month. The Swedish-Norwegian carrier "Tijuca" that docked at Portbury, Bristol carried a total of 2,133 Chevrolets on board. According to GM's European arm, more than half of the cars on board have already been sold to customers while the rest are to make sure stock levels keep up with current levels of demand.

"We're thrilled to see such a large batch of cars arriving here," said Chevrolet Managing Director, Mark Terry."We've seen demand grow massively with three successive months of sales increases, and our stock levels were lower than normal as a result."

It's amazing how Americans have to deal with 2nd rate cars compared to the rest of the world. It just seems that some of the most innovative and newest cars are always overseas and then the companies think about bringing them here.

Besides, what mainstream vehicles besides Jag (no that is now Indian owned) does England make? Everything else is imported, so your statement seems a bit ignorant and pious.
