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.
