Re: "Daewoo Cars.

This is a stretch considering the NA version is built in Ohio.

The Sonic is built in NA, but you included them in your previous post.

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.
