That is good news. Last I heard they were planning to slap those together in Mexico.Now, the question is, is there going to be an increased opportunity for area suppliers, or are they just going to import all of the parts from Korea and assemble the cars here?At any rate, I hope GM can find a way to make it profitable... Building a basic, cheap tin can transportation appliance isn't exactly a money-making venture.

I wonder if they'll be able to build it cheap (in cost) enough. $9000 or less with mileage around 45mpg hwy.Price is paramount with these types pf car!
