95 was a weird transition year for Chevy anyway. I know, I have one, and I couldn't leave well enough alone with it.

Im glad it it is made in Texas. Im not knocking the physically guys/ gals/ robots that make it or any car. Id prefer to have US tax paying citizens get paid to build my or any vehicle;
My problem is the ' US automakers' aka.... the guys in Detroit that design/ sell/ market less than par vehicles.

it's unreal how I see more Chinese oem parts on American models than toyota or Honda or subaru. doing brakes on subaru pads Japan rotors usa. doing brakes on ford China pads and China rotors all oem parts. I've done work on Toyota's and mostly us parts. let's not talk about vw lol. did some blend door actuators on a Chevrolet Tahoe and oem parts were China. oil filter China. general motors oem parts are the biggest China offenders of all makes based on experience.

Good thing these cars all have air bags in them that may or may not work.Nothing like skimping on safety!
