Well it HAD to happen sooner or later. Hmmm
This will be very hard for some traditionalists.

Now that their stock market crashed, they can only afford to make half a car :))

It would be nice to have it produced here but it doesn't matter. GM is still in Detroit (USA) and...
...that's where the profits (engineering, R&D, etc...) will end up. Period.
It's no more foreign, than a Texas made Toyota is American.

Actually, the profits go to shareholders so not necessarily end up in Detroit.

Actually, some of the profits go to shareholders. The rest are retained by the company.
They use them to pay employees (usually local), for R&D, and all of the other things that companies do in a capitalistic society.

Not quite. Profits are after expenses like cost of R&D and employees.
Very little is retained by the company in the form of cash reserves.

I thought I did. Perhaps we're two ships passing in the night on this one.
