Chev-ro-lay sounds so much more French right? I suspect some subliminal marketting genius thinks the French sounding name will make people think it is a fancier car.
Maybe the old “chevy” buyers are the same people who won’t buy a government manufactured car
The only thing any intelligent, red-blooded American would buy from France is a bottle of wine. I’d never buy a car from the French. It would probably try to surrender to a BMW.
Chevrolet IS a French name ,, if I remember right the founder was Louis Chevrolet ,, Cadillac is a French name also.
