G.M. backtracks, says you can call it a Chevy

G.M. released a statement saying that as Chevrolet expands internationally, they want to move toward a consistent brand name. They also admitted the memorandum was poorly worded.
So go ahead proud Chevrolet drivers, continue referring to your wheels as your precious Chevy. They won’t mind.
