Old news, they've been selling it in India for quite a few years now. Chevy has the dealer network, Subaru wanted to get in the door with little investment capital. Chevy did the rebadge thang. Pretty soon there won't be a Chevy made by Chevy

And the world will be a better place.

Arthur, we do have Saabarus here in the states. A stroke of marketing genius: Re-badge a car that sells modestly as a make that doesn't sell at all.

Calling out poor Shadow like that. Platform sharing and rebadging is here to stay. It's just too expensive to launch all new models without tapping into the parts bin, or in some cases a whole car.

Well I didn't bring up Ford and the 500/ Volvo or Mazda Focus so I'm guessing that wasn't you. Ford isn't too far behind the 8 ball.

This is how people of India thinks. This is a review of forester from the site www.indiacar.com

"A Thrown model from Subaru now manufactured by GM for India.I don't understand why GM started to market it in India.May be lack of awareness of people here.Its price is incredibly high.IS IT WORTH IT???.Even if GM offers this car for half of its current price i won't buy it & I won't buy any other overseas flop model." -- By Rahul

hmmmmmm ....

-Pavan.
