The original name of this South Korean automaker was in fact Daewoo Motors; however, the operational parts bought out by General Motors were reincorporated as GM Daewoo Auto & Technology company with a short name of GM Daewoo, GM DAT (or GMDAT) being even shorter and informal name - see GMDAT.com. These official and short names are listed right at the beginning of the GM Daewoo Motors article, clearly conflicting with Motors in the title name. -- DmitryKo 09:40, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Resume: On a second thought, I think shorter GM Daewoo title suits the purpose of naming the article much better than full company name, so I'll just relocate it and fix the double redirects myself. This discussion is copied to the Talk:GM Daewoo. -- DmitryKo 15:06, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be some discussion of the failure of the Daewoo brand in the US and the issues surrounding it? (eg, leasing companies refusing to allow consumers to buy them before they "went under", lack of availability of parts and repairs) This is not to mention quality issues.
I agree 100%. In June of 2006 I acquired a 2000 Daewoo Lanos, and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, the parts issue is a real problem. My car has sat in a repair shop for two weeks now because it needs an intake manifold gasket ($20.00 part. The repair shop has been unable to find a domestic source for this part and was advised by a "Daewoo Dealership" (don't know which one) that it had to be ordered from the factory (Korea? I assume). If you (or anyone) know anything about sources for parts it would be great if it was included in this article or a separate article generated covering this issue.
Why Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle page is redirected to GM Daewoo? GM bought only passanger car division of Daewoo Motor. The truck division aquired by Tata Motors. So there is not any relation between GMDAT and Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle. -- Anonymous 17:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
It might be helpful to add a section on the rebranding of Daewoo as Chevrolet in many markets. In the UK the Daewoo brand was associated with good value reliable pseudo-Japanese products, while Chevrolet was associated with nothing at all - or maybe with huge American 1970s gas guzzlers to anyone that had actually heard of the name. The rebranding seems to be a marketing mistake to many observers, reflecting a Detroit-centric view of the world. -- 80.176.142.11 ( talk) 10:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I am currently trying to update all the GM Daewoo/Daewoo Motor articles, do you have any suggestions? I started by the passenger car list, and also updated the Daewoo Lacetti page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.17.6.194 ( talk) 19:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
I am currently updating the whole page, so please don't mind a few problems tonight! I reorganise everything and will add some extra content too. Just leave me some time and I think this page will gain a lot in quality. Thanks everybody! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daewooarca ( talk • contribs) 23:40, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
I think we should split this article. What does every one else think? -- Aizuku ( talk) 12:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
I went ahead and moved the list of daewoo cars into a separate article, I still think this article needs cleanup and maybe a split. I think the sections Badge Engineering ad Daewoo cars outside S. Korea are unnecessary, and could probably be either removed or merged in some way. -- Aizuku ( talk) 19:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
As for the cleanup, you are right about Badge Engineering ad Daewoo cars outside S. Korea - they are maybe not unnecessary but I did not update them when I re-did almost the whole DM history. I'll try tomorrow to merge them into an article about GM's first "adventures" in S. Korea (till '92) and nowadays GM's strategy of rebranding GM DAT products, etc... .
And I also think it might be a good idea to create separated "Daewoo Motor" and "GM Daewoo" articles. What do other people think? Daewooarca 93.17.6.194 ( talk) 16:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
You are totally right! What do you think about the new sub section "Daewoo cars outside S. Korea"? I re-did it including DM past strategies outside S.Korea and nowadays GM Chevrolet brand strategy plus other badge engineered products... Daewooarca ( talk) 15:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Doesn't anyone care? Should I go ahead with it? I believe that this article would be better served by having a separate article for Daewoo Motor (pre GM acquisition). -- Aizuku ( talk) 11:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

This article doesn't even mention Daewoo's expansion in Poland in the beginning of 1990s. At that time most of their European cars were produced there and they had some of the best seeling cars in their portfolio. You also didn't consider the Tico car. You can find it's photos on Polish wikipedia. Daewoo also build the tallest building in Poland - the Warsaw Trade Centre, which is commonly known as the Daewoo Tower. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Internex ( talk • contribs) 12:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
