IIRC, the Chevette was GM's 1st "World Car", a design that with small modifications, could be sold in virtually any market they serviced. I THOUGHT most of the initial design work was done in South America, I could be wrong. Think they called it the "T" car at the time..It was, in '76, however, a design that was on the way out, for the nominative car design from then til now has basically been a transverse-engine, front wheel drive set up..
