It’s been said that money can’t buy happiness…. or love. And it certainly can’t buy you a new Chevrolet Captiva. This otherwise unassuming compact SUV is probably the strangest anomaly in the US auto industry. It’s designed for the American market and imported here, but even if your last name is Trump, you can’t buy one. Look on the Chevy website and there won’t be a mention of it. It’s not promoted at any American auto shows. The Captiva is sold solely to rental fleets and not to the public- the only new vehicle out there that can make this bizarre claim. So what gives? Why would Chevy go to all the trouble to build a car that no one can purchase? The answer to that question is complicated and has the makings of a telenovela- involving new relationships, breakups, and even a death.
