Officially Official: Chevrolet replaces Daewoo name in Korea


Once upon a time, Daewoo is one of the largest companies in South Korea was. It was bigger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is far from over.
The Korean government replaced the Daewoo Group in 1999. At this point, GM is already about half of Daewoo Motors, a stake which varies over time were in his possession. Since then, the General Daewoo resources used to develop and produce a range of vehicles under other GM divisions, mostly Chevrolet, Daewoo, which sells already been replaced in many markets, major global brand for GM. (The globalization of Chevrolet has to an extent that over the past year, somewhere in the world, a Chevy with each 7.4 seconds was sold escalated.)
One of the few exceptions has been in Korea, where the names mean something Daewoo. But that something is not necessarily good, so GM is phasing out the name in the brand's home market. The development has taken a long time, and will include both the car itself and the company that builds them. GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. will officially change the name to GM Korea Co. by the end of the quarter.
repeat in an odd little story that GM-Korea once before, after Detroit went on, more than half of the companies of Toyota, which had known in cooperation with the former Motor Shinjin to 1972. Full details of the announcement in the press release after the jump.

Video: Pagani gives the Huayra/C9 a detailing job with third teaser


An elaborate example of rolling sculpture like a super car Pagani is as much about the details of how to do it the whole package. Normally, you take the general form and then focus in the details. But Pagani is the other way with its latest teaser video disappeared.

The third in a series of five videos expected, the total is the latest clip quite dark - and still packed with vintage-style noise - so it is hard to see too much. But some shifting focus to get insight into some details of the highly anticipated follow-up of the Zonda.

We'd purchased the car and its development code name "C9", but earlier reports suggested the final product could name Huayra "bear. We are pretty sure that "Deus Venti" (the name that the first teaser accompanied and the many blogs have adopted as an indication of the car's name) means "two coffees" as any liberal arts student works at Starbucks could give you say, This is our money not materialize on the nameplate.
