Wasn't that Top Gear's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" car? As a Chevy Lacetti?

So in EU it's a Chevy, in S. Korea it's a Daewoo and a Buick?

That is a true world market car..... I don't think the original Beetle had a market that large.

Unconfirmed, but a GM Global Propulsion document is showing the new L5P Duramax at 445 HP, 910 lb ft torque.

It's true, they're under stop sale. I want to say I read something about a fix in the works though.
