I see that you've got the Corvette listed as a separate make from Chevrolet.

I know Vette fans like to think they're in a class by themselves, but they're not really a separate make.

In Europe it is sold as a separate make since Chevrolet make replaced Daewoo make...

They are sold by these dealers (as you said, Cadillacs are sold there too... they usually regroup US GM makes as they are not very common, same for Dodge), but you do not find them on European Chevrolet websites for example.
It is the same as the Ford Capri which was sold by Mercury dealers as just "Capri", or the Opel sold by Buick dealers.

Ah, 'Capri' that explains why we never see the Ford marque next to it. Mercury sold them in the seventies! it all makes sense!

Antp is right, in the UK also Corvette is now listed as a seperate brand from Chevrolet (as said above, a replacement for Daewoo) :wink:
