I did get a kick out of it too when you called my car an "import" as the factory that built my car is only a hour and a bit away in the same country as where I live Hell, my good friend lives a scant 10 mins drive from the factory so I go past it every time I visit him. However, the engine is Polish built, which is a fair bit of distance away from here...

But to top it all, Vauxhall is actually GM under a different name, so it's slightly more closer to home than you think!
