So even China gets Euro GM cars and not the U.S.!

Though we (the U.K.) never got the four door Corsa B, just the three five five door hatch as well as the van and Combo.

It's a Chevy there now, which is probably more appropriate.

The Corsa is still sold in Brazil under Chevrolet and is the best selling sedan here.

You can see them on the roads in the US from time to time because they were/are sold in Mexico as the Chevy Chevy. I've spotted lots of Mexican-plated oddballs visiting us here. The Ford Ka, Renault Scenic, Peugeot 207, Dodge (nee Hyundai) Atos, a SEAT of some sort, etc.

They are quite robust little cars, not surprising they are still going.

They must like it. We stopped the Corsa B in 1999-2000, hell were on the D now. But then again it very recently that Mexico stopped making the original Beetle and Brazil the VW T2.

Those things are everywhere where they're sold. Doesn't have many of the creature comforts expected in North American vehicles, so that's probably why there aren't any officially in the US.

They won't be legal to import for sometime into the states.

They have this really ridiculous 25 year law.

Canada has a 15 year rule. so if they're older than 2000, they're legal to import.

Any Euro made Corsa B should be legal in Canada as they stopped getting made in Europe in 1999-2000, question would be, why would anyone want one.
