It is a German car. Marketed there as a bimbomobile.;)

Black AH CDX is right, they are rebadged Daewoo vehicles that are cheaper for GM Aus to supply to the consumer. GM bought out Daewoo.

It was a German car made by Opel, it is now a Korean car made by Daewoo

so if i buy one i should rebadge it as a Opel?

[bsbozzy]

A new one? No, it is a Daewoo, an older one, maybe, but it also might be a suzuki depending on how old it is.

Buy or don't... they're selling heaps anyway...

[planetdavo]

VINs starting with WOLO....are European. VINs starting with KLA... are Korean Barina's. The very first Barinas from 85-93 were Japanese Suzuki's, so this is nothing new.

So long is it is the OPEL sourced Barina.

I have "Opelised" my AH Astra:bow:

[Guzzles]

the new model is sold as a chevy aveo in the US and in eastern europe, as chevy Kalos (in most western europe countrys AFAIK), holden barina in aus and new zealand I assume and daewoo kalos in korea
there are many more markets (probably middle east, asia...)
they're sold on but these are the most important names they get

the old model is european build opposed to the new korean one. it is an opel corsa, only sold in europe and australia/NZ. there is now a new opel corsa but holden chose not to import the european model anymore and to replace it with the cheaper daewoo instead

Why not, Holden already put a lion on a Daewoo so another badge change can't hurt surely :idea:

hmm i guess not

If you purchase the current TK Barina and put Opel badges on it then Frankly you are a knob :D

The car has nothing to do with Opel, but i reckon if u put Chev badges on it would look cool!!!!!
