Always had a thing for wagons and panels. I'd buy it. They always send the good guys packing when they do somthing worthwhile.

Two things you need to keep in mind.

#1 now it Gm is globsal and most of what is sold her or anywhere is the world by GM will sold in all markets. Mos of what is designed will have imput from all markets etc. Like the Camaro. It was designed in the states by a Korean designers on a Aussie platform with an American engine. Work went on electronically day and night.

#2 He was sent to China as it is now the worlds largest market. GM does this for people they plan on moving up. In due time if he is not pulled away by another company he could be the lead of GM design in the near future.

China was not banishment it was a promotion and his work still effects the product sold here Like the Cruze etc. Chevys are near identical globally now and will be sold every where even as a Holden.

China! Cool! The guy was lucky.
A very interesting market. Large-scale problems. Exotic country.
Shanghai - it is certainly not of Hainan, but I think the guy would travel around the country.
see this exotic at the expense of the employer! I envy him.

Incidentally, the Chinese have the HHR. I saw the announcement of the sale of Secondhand cars.

Are you sure it was a real HHR and not a cheap knock off? LOL!

Bryan will be back at some point and look for him to take a lead place in GM global design. I expect he may be taking Ed Welborns place when he is ready to retire.

Ah, well us little people are all still the same. Not so bad as the propaganda may say. We all want the same things. Food, shelter, HHR. I can only hope that people in China realize that.
