Gerald, I realize the J300 was shown as a Chevrolet at motor shows first, but hit the Korean market as the Daewoo Lacetti Première before any Chevy and Holden Cruzes did. So, does it qualify as a ‘rebadged Cruze’ if it was the first one: the way I see it, if the Cruze came after the Lacetti, then surely the Cruze is a rebadged Lacetti?

It’s a small point—I just wanted to clarify where you were coming from.

Is the car shown here the Sail NB? It looks very much like the facelifted Aveo sedan that was launched a little while earlier

Here’s the link to the facelifted Aveo sedan – http://indianautosblog.com/2009/05/refreshed-chevrolet-aveo-sedan-launched-in-china

The modification is only to the length of the boot? Do let me know

Thanks in advance

The Daewoo is actually a rebadged Cruze, although the Cruze was developed primarily by GM’s Korean partner GMDAT. The Cruze is built on GM’s global Delta II platform and variations of it will show up worldwide under different brands (Opel, Buick, Holden).

Surely the Cruze is from the Korean market, too? It’s called the Daewoo Lacetti Première there, and was launched there before any other country.

“Besides the Cruze, Chevrolet’s products are pulled from the GM Korea line up, and branded Chevrolet for the Chinese market.”

Well that’s pretty much the approach in the European market as well!
