Isn't the aveo/g3 built by daewoo? Ah Daewoo, venerable maker of winners such as the ford aspire (expire).

I remember those cars..... One of my coworkers at a past job owned one. Parts were expensive. He spent a good chunk of a month's salary on a catalytic perverter.

Still remember when he hit a pothole and two of his 13" tires blew out. They had a tire iron exactly a foot long to take them off. Due to road salt and water the "lug nuts" rusted on.

We needed to get a big ass breaker bar... and found out instead of lug nuts they used long bolts, which were rusted. Lucky we didn't break any of them off. The kid ended up buying a pair of used tires for it.

What a piece of sh-t!!

When these go on clearance at the Stealerships for 8 grand, I'll be interested.

I might be interested if they go for $500

And at that time Daewoo was an independent car maker anyway. Now Daewoo is a GM brand just the same as Buick or Chevrolet. So it's built by GM no matter how you look at it.

It's actually a rebadged Chevy Aveo (Daewoo), not Cobalt based.
