Besides producing its own models, McLaughlin Motor Car Co. started the licensed production of Che­vrolet cars in December 1915. In 1918 this famous Canadian company merged with General Motors USA. Since then, GM Canada has been producing the most Chevrolet cars. At present, they are the new Impa­la (since 2005), new Monte Carlo (since 2005) and Silverado pick-up (since 1998). Since 1989, a part­nership of Suzuki and GM, called CAMI, has been producing Geo vehicles, whose name was changed to Chevrolet in 1997. Between 1998 and 2004, this was the II generation Tracker and now, since February 2004 - the Equinox SUV. The Metro hatchback was produced in the years 1989-2001, in the years 1994-2001 - the Lumina sedan, and from 1997 to 2002 - the Camaro coupe. The Impala, Monte Carlo and Equinox models are produced exclusively in Canada. Daewoo cars under Chevrolet make ha­ve been sold in Canada since 2003, including the Aveo (with a 1.6-liter 105 hp engine), Optra (a 2.0-li­ter 119 hp plant) and Epica (a 2.5-liter 155 hp unit).
