The brand is gone, but Daewoo is still around—perhaps more than you realize. Remember Daewoo? The third South Korean automaker snuck quietly onto the American scene in 1998, with three models and a sales plan that involved college students hawking the cars, Avon-style, to their friends.

What went wrong with Daewoo?
Daewoo collapsed under massive debts in the wake of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, when the South Korean government was forced to accept a US$58 billion International Monetary Fund bailout. Parts of Daewoo were broken up and sold, with Detroit-based General Motors Corp.
Why did Daewoo fail in the US?
It was GM's prerogative that the Daewoo badge should be limited to Asia, with Daewoo models being sold as Chevrolets or under local brands (like Holden in Australia). As a result, there are as many Daewoo cars in the US now as there were back then, they just don't carry Daewoo nameplates.Aug 8, 2008

Are Daewoo cars reliable?
They are absolutely NO GOOD and completely and totally UNRELIABLE and UNDEPENDABLE. Save your money and get a Toyota or a Honda both are known worldwide for their high-quality and total reliability and dependability. I will never ever buy another Daewoo and you can take that to the bank!!!
