The Iranian government has suddenly banned imports of all Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs in a bid to give local automakers a much-needed boost.
“Even the Americans are not interested in buying such cars because of their weight and high fuel consumption. Why should we import the cars from a bankrupt American factory? This is very odd,” said 76-year old Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader. […]

They are smarter than I thought.
Well, they do suck. Can’t argue that point. And they are a bankrupt company owned and demolished by their union parasite.
They seem to have a lot of caprice.

There are a number of other foreign manufacturers, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault (France), Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz (Germany), Nissan, Toyota (Japan), Kia Motors (South Korea), Proton (Malaysia), and Fiat (Italy).
I’m certain that citations will be issued.
Trump’s fault. Best selling car would have been the Cruze.
A band of nomads (around the timer of the equinox) were sky gazing (looking for a nova) and decided someone should call the HHR department about all of those imports. When they met the suburban people they did that.
Local automakers.....
Ha!
