Ahmadinejad's car in Lebanon is a Chevy?!

I was reading the Times coverage of Ahmadinejad's visit to Beirut and saw this picture.


I thought to myself: What kind of car is that?  Could it be an American SUV?  A quick search revealed that it's indeed a new Chevy!


This must have been provided by the Lebanese government because 1) Iran would never allow its leader to ride in an American car and 2) Iran does not have the resources or logistical wherewithal to fly/transport the car from Iran to Lebanon.

But I must say, given Beirut's proximity to Israel, Ahmadinejad is brave to stick his head out of the car like that without any protection.
