DETROIT — Relax, Chevrolet fanatics. You can take your “Chevy to the levee,’’ or any other darn place you please.
General Motors yesterday backed off from what it called a “poorly worded’’ memo that asked employees to refer to the brand only as Chevrolet instead of its longstanding nickname.
GM said it “in no way’’ is discouraging anybody from using the name Chevy. The internal memo was part of an effort to develop a consistent brand name as the company tries to broaden its global presence.
