I recall a couple of years ago - the Commodore (rebadged as a Chevy) clearly won a head-to-head competition for the lucrative USA Police Pursuit Car Tender.
As part of the G.M. group, it was presented as a good 'ol 'merican auto.
But alas, a whinge from a couple of the losers resulted in the 'USA company clause' in the contract to be re-interprated as 'Made in the USA'
Pity, would have been many 000s of vehicle exported.
It would be weird seeing a SS Commodore on 'COPS'.
