Actually, they don't build it, they just get to put their name on it. The
Chevrolet Venture (also known as Oldsmobile Silhouette and Pontiac Montana.
Pontiac Trans Sport to those in Canada. Vauxhall Sintra to those in the UK.
Opel Sintra and Chevrolet Trans Sport to those in Europe) is built by GM in
Doraville, Georgia. The difference is that the Warner Brothers Edition is just
a trim level, with WB badging. Over at the dealer, they install a LEGO
playtable thing made by Johnson Controls. I saw it in Detroit. Very nice
concept, just too bad they had to make the deal with GM (no offense to GM
owners, I just hate GM).
