I'd say keep the Viva .... any free new car is a bloody awesome car ... LOL
Daewoo or not.

Sell the Baleno and pay the debts off you need ... that will make living more comfortable for you and your family .... keep the Viva for the run around vehicle for shopping and what-not ... and the Ford for serious work/serious fun.

That's what I would do .... had to think about it for a bit though ... but yeah, that's my decision

May not need the warning device - most of us already know what a Holden Viva really is

I've still got mine! The HA was sold (and built) in Australia. The HB was sold as the Holden Torana, which evolved into a unique Australian model.

The Viva name has only just been recycled with the release of this model.

It's not the first time Holden has recycled a model name. At least the Monaro was always consistent in being based on the mainstream Holden sedan at the time (Kingswood or Commodore).
