If the fans are a little excited, that’s nothing compared to the roller coaster of joy, pain, agony and exhaustion the manufacturers are going through. Take Toyota for [...]

There are still several months until the beginning of the 2012 Paris Motor Show but this doesn’t seem to ring any bell with the Americans at Chevrolet.
