Canada should offer this guy citizenship.

"While it does have the same steering motor as the Cobalt, it is tuned differently and performs differently. The number of warranty claims were about half as many as for the Cobalt ... we explained the results of our investigation to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the agency was satisfied with out explanation and did not ask GM to take further action," GM said in a statement.

Well I suppose stuff like that happens when the manufacturer and the regulator are owned by the same entity.  :P

Why offer something that would be thrown back in your face? :rofl2:
