General Motors - Olympic Sponsor With 4,600 Vehicles In Vancouver


General Motors supplied 4,600 vehicles for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and you see them everywhere frequently. The Chevy Traverse along with the Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban and their hybrid and Flex-fuel versions are driving VIPs, Olympians and their families day and night.
