When I was in China back in 2007, I went to an auto show and asked a Chevy dealer rep whether he sells Corvettes. Puzzled look, scrambles to the back, consults with others and then comes back and tell me "special order". Until I mentioned it, he himself has never even heard of the car, let alone if I mentioned the Yukon
actually sales in suvs and cuvs has been going up in asia and europe. The US is not the only one on the cuv, suv craze. Most auto manufacturers try to plan at least 5yrs or more ahead.
