The announcement came less than a week after the news that Chevrolet would begin to market in Western Europe a range of cars built primarily by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GM Daewoo) in Korea, a strategy already successfully deployed in North and South America, Asia Pacific, South Africa and, most recently, Central and Eastern Europe.
Three Chevrolet Nubiras (called Lacetti in some markets) will be developed, built and entered into the 2005 championship series by the renowned British racing team RML (Ray Mallock Limited). Page 1 of 1
