“In partnership with Shanghai Auto International Corp. (SAIC), and Suzuki, GM Daewoo is seeking to launch full-scale exports of the Lacetti model in China,” said Bob Lutz, in remarks reported by the Korea Herald. Lutz is visiting GMDAT this week.
“GM Daewoo will export its Lacetti sedan to China on a knockdown basis via GM-Shanghai, a 50-50 joint venture between GM and SAIC,” he said. “Lacetti sedans will then be locally assembled and sold.”
The Korea Herald also said GM Daewoo is working on a plan to strengthen its strategic alliance with Suzuki to develop products jointly and step up technological exchange.
