Chevrolet/Daewoo suffering the same lack of kudos that once applied to Skoda by the sounds of it, and no doubt still would if much wasn't made of the untouchable VAG parts bin.
Arn't they basically the GM equivalent car under the skin, if so whats the problem if carefully bought, bit like Skoda then.
3 year warranty applies to premium German cars so why pick on GM, if the Germans were so good they would have no hesitation in offering proper warranties, putting their money where their mouths are so to speak.
Where they went a bit off the rails was to overprice them new, but then lots of cars are way overpriced but sell well because of badge kudos, they are all 4 wheelers that go from A to B and use fuel to do so, they almost all depreciate to almost nothing within 10 years anyway.
Chev/Dae make some decent alternatives to the norm often having cavernous interiors inside standard slightly conservative bodies and none the worse for that, we're not all clones yet and don't all want cloned cars with ever more camp LED lights fore and aft. They stick to proper automatic boxes for those who want an auto option, depreciate quickly due IMO in no small measure to badge snobbery (as would Skoda if it wasn't for the VW connection) so can make sensible used buys.
I'd gladly have a Cruze/Aveo/Lacetti/Epica if i wanted a standard good value car roomy for its size, Lacetti estate particularly a very useful car and nice to drive in auto form especially, whats basically wrong with any of these if bought sensibly....not look right on the drive or in the work car park or is the TG mobs opinion actually taken seriously somewhere, dear me get a grip.
