Goodbye Daewoo, Hello Chevrolet

What a shocker! When GM Daewoo CEO, Mike Arcamone , announced the Chevrolet brand in last years Busan International Motor Show, he's not joking, this is the real deal!

Scoop (Korean):

2012 Chevrolet Sonic (coming late 2011)

2010 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers edition

Officially official! The historic American brand behind the Camaro and Corvette (and also the Volt) is coming to the land of favorite Korean dramas, replacing the Daewoo nameplate once and for all! Cars like the upcoming Sonic sedan and hatch and the Camaro, are coming to South Korea this early 2011! Other cars which are GM Daewoo Lacetti Premiere and the Matiz Creative will be renamed as Chevrole tCruze and the Chevrolet Spark. The not-for-USA Chevrolet Orlando may come in South Korea too and built it here!

It is an unfair truth that the U.S.A. may not get the Orlando MPV, the Cruze Hatchback, and the Captiva's Minor Change but only the Sonic sedan and hatch may come in the U.S. this Autumn.

From now on, GM Daewoo Auto and Technology will be known as GM Korea Company. There will be eight Chevrolet models coming to South Korea including Camaro, Orlando, Sonic, the minor change Captiva, Cruze hatchback, and a new sedan replacing the Daewoo Tosca.

Now what?! Can these new ones come to the Philippines too? Remember, we already got the Camaro, and the Cruze sedan. Now we are waiting for the Orlando MPV, the Captiva's face lift, the Cruze hatchback, and the Sonic.

I hope that TCCCI got that memo...
