Not entirely relevent, but in Japan sometimes Toyota and Nissan especially give their vehicles their own mark and sometimes they don't even have any Toyota or Nissan bdging anywhere to be seen.

Isuzu buys bck GM stock so hope exists for Daewoo

GM's obvious attempt to kill Isuzu has come to an end so there is now a precedent for such a thing. GM remains in a precarious financial state. much more so than the general public is aware of. Perhaps in time, and with Daewoo Korea getting its financial house in order, they can buy out GM's interes...

It is pronounced DAY-WOO, at least it is in commercials I have seen before.

Edit: At least that is by non-Korean announcers. I suspect that the "W" sound in Korean is just like the deSU sound in Japanese. Its barely enunciated but native speakers just hear it anyway because of familiarity.

In my view, the reason why you don;t see too many turbo Daewoos IRL or in video is because the cars had too short a life in the US. To make a perfect comparison, look at how many years the Civic was in the US and homw many were sold to mommies who eventually gave them to their teenage sons who in tu...

Looks like a futuristic 1993.5-1996 toyota supra Actually, one can see how Jaguar easily ripped off the front end for its XKS coupe and convertible. I can also see how the new Maseratis "borrowed" their look. Also, just because a car looks expensive doesn;t mean that it has to be expensive. That ca...

Daewoo Bucrane

Had Daewoo actually built this car (of course, with some minor modifications for production), their fate might have turned our differently. Had they made this car as a RWD version, I know it would have been successful! http://www.allcarpictures.com/pictures/daewoo/bucrane-concept/daewoo-bucrane-conc...

I thought that both teams were supposed to play to win. Philly simply gave the game away with 4 turnovers and New England still only won by 3 points. Dyansty? Harldy! :roll:

Why are Skylines illegal in the us? I never really got that. If Nissan took the time to make them conform to US laws, they would make a killing. RHD is not illegal in itself. RHD Saturns, Subarus, and Jeeps are available in the US as postal vehicles. THe GTR was never legal because of crash and emi...

He says he bought it for 8,000... do you know how much he paid to get it in the US? One guy i talked to i think it ended up costing him like 40,000 extra bucks just to license it and all that stuff here He sold it before getting stationed back in the US. MotoRex in California looks to be going unde...

Drifting is a controlled* slide prior to even entering a corner where the car is guided as much as or even more by the rear wheels pushing the car than just by using the steering wheel. FWD cars simply cannot do this. Its just a matter of physics. The process can be nearly imitated but never duplica...
