Daewoo

The Korean maker absorbed by GM in 2002 and retired as a badge around 2011, after which most of its range continued as Chevrolet — the Matiz became the Spark, the Kalos the Aveo, the Winstorm the Captiva. Where the Chevrolet-badged car is the one people meet, its page lives under Chevrolet and says so. What carries a page here is the range sold under Daewoo's own badge, often for a decade before any Chevrolet existed in those markets, and still running in very large numbers across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Egypt. Engineering-wise the early cars are Opel underneath — the Nexia is a Kadett E and the Espero a licensed Opel design — so Opel information reaches further than the badge suggests.
