Default Holden Epica is a Chev?
Spotted at work, left hand drive with Arabic plates (Or so it looked like) One Cheverolet Epica. Nowadays you just buy a name, the car under the badge is everywhere.... Anyway, it's very VE/Camry, but isn't everything? LOL

Yes it wasn't just Australia that GM realised wouldn't buy a Daewoo so they call them different names for different markets.

Those look like Korean No. plates, not Saudi/Arabic.

GM Daewoo products are mostly sold as Chevrolets in the US, Europe and Asia (Except
Korea where they're still called Daewoo).

And in Australia, Daewoos are called HOLDEN.

You will find that Chevrolet has quite a few Daewoo developed vehicles in their lineup - Even in Europe!

Isn't it funny watching people pay top dollar at their holden dealer to buy a daewoo. Watch their jaw drop come trade in time. :
