Chevrolet Sail
The Chevrolet Sail (Chinese: 雪佛兰赛欧; pinyin: Xuěfúlán Sài'ōu) is a subcompact car produced by SAIC-GM, a joint venture of General Motors in China. Launched in 2001, it was sold as the Buick Sail in China in both in sedan and wagon form which were both based on Opel Corsa B. Following the introduction of the Chevrolet brand in China in 2005, the car received a facelift and its name was changed to "Chevrolet Sail" and "Sail SRV".
