I hate to say, but car manufacturers & dealers can learn a lot about customer loyalty from these guys.

i have a 1998 lanos and still going strong, the paint is the original and shiny with 109,000 miles on it, and all those miles in city driving in my little island of PR.

@LeganzaMoonwalker well, original Nexia/Cielo from Daewoo was cancelled in 1997, Cielo u have is licensed version of Korean Cielo... anyway, i have 1996 DOHC Cielo, and it is a perfect car. Daewoo Motors died in 1999, not 2008, and not because cars weren't problematic, but because of asian financial crysis... Daewoo brand was cancelled in march 2011... last daewoo motor company in world is based in uzbekistan.

Gotta a 1999 Espero 2.0 with, already, 156k kilometres travelled.

For all this time spent on it less than a 1000 quid and it still goes like as it has been bought just yesterday, no problems at all.

I Have A 2003 Cielo , No Problem , Extremly Good .

Daewoo Motors Died In 2008 Because Nobody Had A Problem With Any Daewoo , So They Couldnt Repair A Thing At The Cars , And Thats Why They Had No Money

So far as the North American market goes, Daewoo's are sold in the U.S. as Chevrolets. GM actually bought out Daewoo Motors in the early 2000's. Their proper name is GM Korea now.

I wouldn't have a clue if they Daewoo nameplate is still used in its home market or of those are "Chevy"'s too.

@MegaMrDamo because some dicksucker at GM thought it would make better sales....

There will never be a Daewoo on this Earth that will even come close to the SIERRA.

NEVER.
