Oh, so they were on their own by 2000? I didn't know when they were out of the GEO brand. Learn somethin' new erryday, thanks!
They did both. You could buy a Swift and a Sprint or a Metro (Chevy or Geo) at the same time. IIRC you could not get the 3 cylinder in a Swift.
China gave Huawei 70 billion dollars with which to conquer the world. They have a line of credit even larger to tap should they require it. The Chinese have a chunk of every exporting industry, and they are lying, cheating thieving and absolutely ruthless in their quest to be the new top dog. I do not buy Chinese and I don't know why anyone would want to help the Chinese government muscle out domestic car manufacturers. We should have stopped them years ago.
An article linked to in the Wuhan thread is also relevant here. For Chinese cars to sell in the States, they'll need to prove they aren't built to be chabaduo.
