1) GMC is British? hmm... last I heard they had their headquarters in Detroit... Were American founded and have been an important piece of our economy for decades... "What's good for General Motors is good for America" 2) Opel is German, but owned by GM so technically American owned... They own Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GM Daewoo, GMC, Holden, Hummer, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, Vauxhall, and Wuling... They were about to buy Fiat a few years ago but decided not to at the last minute or they would own... Fiat, Ferrari, and Maserati as well... 3) Volvo cars is owned by Ford and based in Britain using the name plate of Volvo AG, a Swedish company producing commercial vehicles.... "u dunno much dude.. pls dun reply 2 questions widout thinking.. " Take your own advice, at least don't derogatorily reply to people with meaningful input...
