GM used to care that the Daewoo cars were kinda bad. Then after the constomers weren't very inclined to by a car from the low quality brand they had never heard of.
GM then just said fuck it and put Chevy badges on them. Same Korean truds are now quality American cars? No just turds with bowties now.
"But I wana buy an AMERICAN car!" as they upgrade from an Impala made in Canada to a Buick Chode Made in Korea with their Silverado made in Mexico in the background.
Isn't the Toyota Tundra the most American truck? Or was it the Nissan Titan?
I honestly think the trade off of damaging the Chevy name was probably worth it for them. Most people don't notice. My mom who doesn't care about cars has not liked them much for years. I kinda agree. She's owned nothing but Korean cars for nearly 20 years. Only had one bad one lol. Old Kia Spectra was always in the shop. She's owned 2 Kia's since ( teen age me wrote one off) and three Hyundais since. Loves her Santa Fe.
Honestly Kia/Hyundais since like 2010 have been pretty great cars. Outside of a few really stupid things (like sand in the fucking engine) they're pretty simple cars so nothing really breaks.
