Had this funky looking small sized Chevy suv come in at work. 2015 Chevy City Express to be exact. Opened the hood and immediately had a wtf moment when I found the hood prop. It was attached to the hood exactly like tons of Nissan's are set up. Propped the hood and moved on, mentioned something to a coworker and he was just as flustered about it as I was then started pointing out more Nissan parts under the hood. Air filter box, coolant reservoir, washer fluid tank, all looking exactly like a Nissan.
We gawked at it a good 5 minutes unable to make heads or tails of what we were looking at. Finally I decide to look at electronics to see the manufacturer name, expecting Delphi. It's a GM after all, right? Wrong. Alternator blatantly says Nissan.
I finally say something to the driver. Something about hey uh, so this is a Chevy right? About to tell him about all of the Nissan parts we see while pointing at the Bowtie on the steering wheel and he comes back with yeah but it's a Nissan too before I even mention it and shows me the Vin sticker in the door facing which had the Nissan logo, I then notice two more Vin plates, one on each inner fender, with the same Nissan logo.
Snapped a couple pics and moved on with the service.
Came home and done a quick Google search. Looks like GM was wanting to fill a void in the small utility suv market so they hooked up with Nissan and bought a load of Nissan nv200's and rebranded the outside. I don't know what to think about GM at the moment.
