Sure there might be a niche market for some American made cars like the HHR or even Corvette, but if I was a Daewoo brand fan in Korea I'd watch this one closely. Seems like a trojan horse to displace the Daewoo brand, which might not be a bad thing from a global perspective.
What's next, sell Chevies in Australia?

I was thinking the same thing. The Aveo and looks like soon the Cobalt will be sourced from there anyway, so they may just be rebranding everything now. At the rate GM is expanding the Chevrolet name globally, before long there won't be a need to call themselves General Motors, they can just call themselves Chevrolet. Cadillac, Pontiac, Holden, divisions of Chevrolet!
