I think you'll find anything coming out of Daewoo has a fairly heavy GM-H influence and has since GM took control.

That is correct Col, Holden is the biggest selling South Korean manufacturer in Australia!! Ha ha

I wonder how all the Holden heads feel about that now?

Cruze may be built here now but its a South Korean designed and engineered car, along with Barina(throw up) and the new Malibu when it gets here!!




Actually it's technically 'German Engineered' given Opel did most of the engineering and the Korean's did most of the design work

To keep the illuson that the Cruze is an Aussie car going, Holden wants another fistfull of dollars from the gov -

Holden says it needs in the order of $300 million in taxpayer funds to save jobs and keep its two-model production plant in Adelaide running -

As long as the money doesn't find it's way to funding another deal for 888.
