I thought Suzuki was japanese. What about Suzuki cars made by Changan like Suzuki Swift. Changan makes cars with Ford not GM.oo4load said:Suzuki is part of GM, they sell rebadged Daewoos as suzuki in some parts of the world.
So you basically see only two cars: the Daewoo with 3 different badges and the Chery.

Actually, Suzuki is less than 10% owned by GM since GM sold off much of its stock earlier this year. Also, GM didn't technically buy Daewoo but a group of companies including GM, Suzuki, SAIC, and Daewoo's creditors did...it's just that GM bought the largest single share. But the rest is as you stated.dragin said:Hi Hazik, I really like your regular input to this forum. I look forward to it.
Just wanted to say that Suzuki is 20% owned by GM. And when Daewoo was bought by GM, Suzuki aquired 11% of the company called GM Daewoo Auto and Technology Co.. And so now Suzuki and Daewoo's technology (from its previous life) are like lips and teeth as the saying goes.
Oh, and SAIC owns 9% of the new company.
As FT points out Suzuki doesn't build cars with Ford in Chang'an's Chongqing plant. It actually had a licensing tie-up with Chang'an to build the Alto and other mini-vehicles long before Ford arrived. I think the Tiger truck (recently shown here on the forum) that Chang'an exports to the US, is Suzuki-based.
Well, Chery stole the chassis.How can a Japanese car, Korean car, American car, and Chinese car all have the same chassis.
i thought teh swift is made by gm since it looks so much like the aveohazik said:I thought Suzuki was japanese. What about Suzuki cars made by Changan like Suzuki Swift. Changan makes cars with Ford not GM.
Chery didn't steal the Chassis. It was Daewoo engineers that stole the chassis and sold it to Chery. You should blame the Daewoo engineers who stole it.Real_I_Hate_China said:Well, Chery stole the chassis.
Anybody who buys a stolen good is an accomplice to a crime.You should blame the Daewoo engineers who stole it.
It's the kind of situation where one party is repremanded for something that isn't entirely their fault.Real_I_Hate_China said:Anybody who buys a stolen good is an accomplice to a crime.
