Daewoo Speedster
i saw this at the incheon airport the other day. some japanese men were taking photos of it as well. i don't remember the specs, but i know it's a 2.0 turbo with (i think) 200HP and 240lb/ft.
here's are smaller pics linked to larger ones.

Not bad but it's still a Daewoo.

No idea, but if it means cheaper than an Opel Speedster (with the same specs), I'm all for it!

Cause we sure as hell would not want a Daewoo otherwise (at least none of their other current offerings)

You mean like the Suzuki Verona or the Chevy Aveo? Me neither.

Marketing really screwed up there. It's like rebadging Porches as Volkwagons (after all VW owns Porche). There's a very good reason they don't do it.

No, it's a very good marketing ploy for Daewoo-GM targeting Koreans in Korea. It'd be quite a marketing SNAFU if that display were to be placed in say LAX, JFK, SFO, or ORD.
