Chevrolet will replace its Lacetti/Nubira/Cobalt with this slick saloon in autumn 2008. Our spy photos reveal the four-door Chevy in near-production form three months ahead of its planned debut at the 2008 Paris motor show.

The name of the newcomer will be announced on 8 July 2008 and this time a single badge will be used globally, instead of different names in different markets. In the UK, Chevy's mid-sized car was called the Lacetti, but an-all new tag is in the pipeline this time.

Then, at the end of 2009, Chevrolet will launch a crossover which has the task of replacing both the Lacetti station wagon and the Tacuma midi-MPV.

Both new Chevy models will be based on the GM Delta platform; that means a host of new tech and upmarket gadgets that you wouldn't believe possible on refashioned Daewoos.

We'd say it looks pretty nifty for any volume brand, actually. The shape was penned at GM's new design centre in Korea.

If you want to see it in the metal, you'll have to wait until 2 October 2008 – when it'll be one of four Chevrolet world debuts.
