Remember the Chevy Cruze that was launched at the Paris Show in early October? Well, a rebadged version of the compact sedan has just gone on sale in Korea under the Daewoo brand as the Lacetti. And yes, just like you, we are also completely dazzled by the fact that a product of an American company can go immediately for sale in a less significant market like Korea but it will take -for whatever reasons - another two or maybe even three years as some speculated recently, for the same vehicle to come to the States. Until then, American consumers can either go for the Cobalt or other proposals (mostly) from foreign automakers. -Continued

2009 Daewoo Lacetti -aka Chevy Cruze- Goes on Sale in Korea: 42 High-Res Photos
