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?

Simple, Koreans like American products for the most part, and foreign cars have a "cachet" there. I think it makes perfect sense if you are talking about selling the Malibu and Impala, or even the upcoming Traverse. I don't think it would be the full Chevy line.
