Highly unlikely as the Daewoo brand is being phased out in favour of Chevrolet.

 

re: "Daewoo Cars.

The Leganza is a classic motorcar! I can see why you would want another one.

 

re: "Daewoo Cars.

Daewoo ceases to exist as of 2011 Globally. Only exists in the history books. The old plants pump out Cruze, Sonic, Spark and Colorado/ Trailblazer

 

re: "Daewoo Cars.

Daewoo has officially been renamed GM Korea and their cars rebadged as Chevrolet - but markets where Daewoo used to be sold still think of them as Daewoo not Chevrolet.

 

re: "Daewoo Cars.

Buy a Spark, Sonic, or Capitva. They would be labeled as Daewoo if it were still known as that. This way, you can have your "50 years of Chevrolet" and a new "Daewoo."

 

re: "Daewoo Cars.

The Cruze is also pretty much a Daewoo car, it's a third-generation Nubira/Lacetti

I strongly disagree

It's a world car and Daewoo ceased to exist once those cars you mentioned stopped production and sale

 

"Daewoo" is right.

Daewoo has pretty much been GM Korea since the '70s, anyway. Most of their vehicles since the '70s were rebadged or reworked GM platforms. The Nubira models that the Cruze replaced were basically developments off of GM's old J-car platform, anyway. Even the Aveo ran on a modified GM FWD T-platform.

And Buick is still selling the old Nubira as the Excelle in China. Baojun just launched their main model on that platform, as well.

So it's not like the Cruze comes from a corrupt line, or anything. Daewoo was able to make such cheap cars for so long, not only because SK was a lower-cost labor country, but because they kept recycling ancient GM platforms.

 

One of the Biggest reason's GM Failed, next to selling off GMAC. And GM tried to hook up with Daewoo back in the 90's with the Pontiac Leman's.

They should have learned that even with a Low Price Point, and Extended Warranty, they still wouldn't sell.

 

After 1997 Daewoo starting using it's own designs. The first of them in 1997 with the Leganza, then the Nubira and Kalos. Not J bodies or GM shared platforms but an attempt to do their own stand alone designs. The last J body based Daewoo was offered in 1996. Daewoo and Opel were the primary developers of the Cruze. Don't trust me, do a little research.

Nubira the same thing. GM's T platform was sold until 1994. The 1997 was designed in house as a replacement for the T. The Lacetti was based on the Nubira platform that Daewoo developed on it's own and was also not based on a GM platform.

That Nubira being sold in China would be a cheap recycled ancient Daewoo platform.

 

Nope. I'll give you the Leganza, certainly.

But the first Nubira, which replaced the Espero, had the exact same hard points as the GM J-body models. Even the same exact wheelbase down to the tenth of an inch. The Lacetti was simply, as you said, a rework of the Nubira. They were as J-body based as the 1995-05 Cavalier was. Reworked. But on the same basic platform.

Same with the Lanos and Aveo on the GM T-body platform.

And Daewoo continued to use GM engines the whole time.
