Within the last 3 years, as the supply chain got much disturbed in response to the Chinese flu outbreak, there were too many times the GM factory in Gravataí near my hometown Porto Alegre went on idle. Previously it used to be quite common for GM to create overstock for the econoboxes made there, yet regional exports also used to relief a considerable amount of such overstock. Odd enough, despite the hatchback bodystyle in the current generation of the Chevrolet Onix being made in Gravataí only, other places where the sedan is the only bodystyle available are sourcing the Onix for China, even Mexico where local manufacturing of the Onix was phased out in order to increase production volume for the Equinox which is now made exclusively for export...
