| 説明 | When Shinjin Motors was abandoned by Toyota, and it teamed up with General Motors, the company's name changed to General Motors Korea (GMK) initially, before becoming Saehan. Saehan initially produced the Opel-designed Gemini, but soon replaced it with the Maepsy, based on the Isuzu I-Mark, which in turn was based on the Opel Kadett Mk. 3. In the small but growing South Korean market, it competed against Kia's Mazda-designed Brisa and Hyundai's homegrown (and wildly popular) Pony.The Maepsy initially struggled against the competition. But in 1981, when the new military dictatorship of Chun Doo-hwan forced Kia to give up its Brisa (and in return, force Saehan and Hyundai to give up light trucks), it was given a new lease on life. (It bears remembering that South Korea had been under 20 years of a different military dictatorship already, and its economic plans were the key reason for the existence of an automotive industry in the first place.)A normal Maepsy came with an expensive 1.5-liter imported Opel engine. But thanks to the forced consolidation, early 1980s Maepsys could also be had with the 1.3-liter Kia engine that had been intended for the Kia Brisa. This example is equipped with the Kia engine.Under Daewoo Business Group ownership, Saehan changed its name again, to Daewoo, in 1983. Daewoo Business Group went bankrupt in 2001, and Daewoo Motors became part of General Motors, initially operating as GM Daewoo before dropping the Daewoo name altogether and again becoming GM Korea in 2011.Maepsy production continued through 1989. Later variants had fuel injection, and were known as Maepsy-Na. The Maepsy's successor is the Daewoo LeMans, entering production in 1986; it was based on the later, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett, and exported to the US as the Pontiac LeMans. The LeMans, in turn, was refreshed into the Daewoo Cielo (Daewoo Nexia for European markets), then replaced by the Daewoo Nubira, the Daewoo Lacetti (AKA Chevrolet Optra/Suzuki Forenza/Buick Excelle), and finally the Daewoo Lacetti Premier (much better known as the Chevrolet Cruze). |
