Chevrolet has launched five cars in Ireland, ranging in price from €11,995-€45,995, writes Brian Byrne.
The models are Spark (above), Aveo, Cruze, Orlando and Captiva, which will spearhead the return of the highly respected US brand to the Irish market.
The Volt extended range electric car will be launched here in early 2013.
Chevrolet will have an Irish Country Director based in Dublin, and the supply of cars and spare parts is being managed by the UK-based Chevrolet UK & Ireland. Ten dealers from the old Chevrolet network have been reappointed, and discussions are in progress with three more.
