Holden o are you sure your not driving a Daewoo?

It was quite interesting to see the Caprice being re-branded as a Daewoo.

Holden exports to Korea GM-Daewoo Veritas | Car Advice | Reviews

Holden started exporting a super luxo Caprice to China in CKD kit form. It was marketed as a Buick Park Avenue. Very similar in spec to the Veritas. Not many of either have been made - GFC kinda put a hole in things there.

Awesome, now I can ditch the chevy badges and put daewoo badges on my VR Ute! KDM FTW

[vyseriesII]

+1 for daewoo badges LOL. Wonder if any idiot will do it? After all, people did start putting chevy badges on to follow a stupid trend. Vauxhall anyone?

Add Barina to that list. Saying that Cruze is Korean is innacurate. Cruze was a global effort and built in several locations around the world. Most of the engineering was done by Opel.

Why do I get the feeling that the people most critical of certain cars have never driven them?

Don't think that's really accurate

Captiva is based on GM's global theta platform which I believe was engineered by GM North America division

Cruze was GM global delta platform which was mostly Opel engineered

I'm not sure about where the viva and Epica come from, but I don't consider the Cruze or Captiva to be Daewoos by a long long way.

Aren't they made in the daewoo factory though?

GM build the cars in South Korea if that's what you mean. Doesn't make it a Daewoo though. Components for the cars and engines probably come from 100 different countries including India and China so surely you identify a car by who engineers the car, not where some of the components are made. Holden make Captiva V6 engines in Melbourne but that doesn't make the cars part Holden. Its still a global GM vehicle with badges to suit whatever local market they're selling to

On this account you'd be wrong.

The new cruize built locally is a good thing, not my cup o tea but not bad. The captiva not horrible but still crap. All the others on the list and specially the Barina off the list are utter rubbish

The sad thing though is when you sit in one and instantly notice parts from a 10 year old daewoo lanos.
