Zero-star safety scores lead to pleas for GM to improve its South American cars | Auto Express
You got to admire the General still pawning off these motoring relics on the South Americans-- quote:-
"the Chevrolet Sail. A lack of airbags and other key safety requirements like seatbelt pretensioners resulted in the Sail receiving the same low safety rating as one of the best selling cars in Mexico, the Chevrolet Aveo."

The Chevrolet sail was evidently based on a Chinese design. from Shanghai General Motors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Sail


the 2014 version run away--- run away fast. ;)

Hi,
It seems to sort of match the Americans regard for people from Mexico and other South Anerican countries!
Cheers
Steve
