Talk:Daewoo Lacetti

USA Market

The Daewoo Lacetti is sold in the US under the Suzuki Forenza/Reno badge. The Chevrolet Cobalt is a completely different car. You are completely wrong in you statement below. You have embarassed yourself, do a little more research next time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.4.148 (talk) 00:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

The stuff about the US spec car isn't correct. The comparable car in the US is the Chevrolet Cobalt, it comes with three engine options (2.0L, 2.2L, and 2.4L). Since the 2.0L is supercharged it has 205hp, the 2.2L is 148hp, and the 2.4L is 175hp. 71.242.172.30 13:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Giorgetto Giugiaro

He did style the Lacetti, indeed. I remember reading the interview with Giugiaro on the Daewoo Europe Media, http://media.gm.com/division/daewoo/, when it was not redirecting to Chevrolet Europe Media. The confusion arose when the Nubira, sedan version of J200 that was styled by Pininfarina and sold since 2002, adopted the Lacetti name for some markets following the 2004 rebranding as Chevrolet.

All Daewoo Europe PRs are still buried there in the internals of their mega-site, just like the one on a collaboration with VM Motori. I just can't find a proper way to get a full list of news releases because even the slightest mention of Daewoo is deleted from the interface. --DmitryKo 15:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

PS. Wow - I've got the list! http://media.gm.com/division/daewoo/news/ Only year 2004 so far, but the interview in question is right at the bottom.

Daewoo Lacetti

Please see the discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles for the reasons behind the redirecting to Daewoo Lacetti. Stombs 12:50, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

On the WikiProject Automobiles[1] page, there appears to be a consensus that the country of origin's convention be adopted. I vote to have this entry moved to Daewoo Lacetti, which is the vehicle's name in Korea, and the facts aligned to that of the Korean market. This convention is adopted for all other automotive entries to date at Wikipedia, apart from a few exceptions that editors have not got to yet. Stombs 12:27, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

If you think this page should be moved, first list it at WP:RM to start a proper voting procedure, then provide a correct voting and discussion template on this talk page, as suggested by Wikipedia:Requested moves#Instructions. --DmitryKo 14:40, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Note: This naming convention/move discussion has been centralized at the Automobile WikiProject. Dragons flight 02:30, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

merging Daewoo Nubira into Daewoo Lacetti

Since the two versions of the car has the same name in South Korea (Daewoo Lacetti), Australia (Holden Viva) and parts of Europe (Chevrolet Lacetti), maybe we should all the info about the car/cars in the same article? --Boivie 11:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Okey, I moved the info about the J200 from the Nubira to the Lacetti article instead. Because the first versions of Nubira were never called Lacetti, if I understand it correctly. --Boivie 08:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Renaming of article to Chevrolet Optra

Currently the Daewoo Lacetty does not exist by that name, and is sold as the Chevrolet Optra only. I think it is time this article is renamed as Chevrolet Optra. Searching for Daewoo Lacetti got me links from 2004 only. Do give this a thought.--PremKudva^Talk 06:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Why Chevrolet Optra? It is still called Daewoo Lacetti in its home market. It is called Suzuki Forenza/Reno in the US, and Chevrolet Nubira/Lacetti in Europe. I think the home market name usually decide the article title. --Boivie 07:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Is it! Ok!--PremKudva^Talk 09:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Mexican market

To my knowledge, the Optra replaced the Chevrolet Astra sedan when GM Mexico decided to stop importing all the Astras from Brazil and started importing the new (Opel) Astra hatchback from Europe. Since there is no sedan version of the new Astra, apparently GM Mexico decided to import the Optra instead of other options like the Cobalt to offer a cheap car. As of 09/2007, the Optra is the cheapest car in its category among the cars offered in Mexico.

The auhor of the article can can check http://www.chevrolet.com.mx (in spanish) for more info on the Chevrolet Optra offered in Mexico that is neither the Canadian, nor the American version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.206.67.143 (talk) 19:37, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
