GM/Daewoo "Winstorm" ---OR--- Chevrolet "Captiva"?

I bought a SUV in Korea. GM/Daewoo Winstorm, 2007, 2.0L V-4(yea I know it tiny), AWD. The dealership debadged it and now it's a Chevrolet Captive.....sounds AU to me.

I can not figure out what would this be in the states because I want to purchase a few items. Any help with how and where to by itmes?

The Winstorm is available in ASEAN markets, and in Europe, the Middle East and South America as the Chevrolet Captiva. In Australia, the Winstorm is marketed as the Holden Captiva. The Opel Antara, a derivative of the Daewoo Winstorm, will be available in North America for the 2008 model year, but badged as the second generation Saturn VUE.

Two engines are available for the Winstorm, a 150 hp (112 kW) straight-4 2.0-litre common rail turbodiesel unit developed with VM Motori and a 225 hp (168 kW) V6 3.2 L Alloytec sourced from Holden.

Wait...you bought this car IN KOREA, then...the KOREAN dealership changed the badge? That's odd. AFAIK, the Daewoo brand is still sold there.

The Chevy Captiva is the badge on exported versions of that car in most markets. Though I'm not entirely certain whether all Chevy Captivas are actually made in Korea. The Winstorm is roughly the same as the Chevy Equinox or Saturn Vue in the US.

Make sure if you're trying to get US powertrain components that it's for the same engine, though.

Oh yeah, and if you're thinking of it, chances are you cannot import it to the US, and you will not be able to for about 25 years. It isn't legal to do so.

Also, that's an INLINE 4, not a V-4. V-4s haven't been used in anything but a few motorcycles and boats for almost 30 years.

GM has taken over Daewoo all over the world .It is marketing Daewoo products with the Chevy brand.Nothing to worry everything is the same , the perfomance is not degraded .

Keep your cool .

Best car for a budget?

Ive done a lot of research based on the availability and need of a type of car.Basically its going to be a car for my mom as im going to be needing one only after i get my license.That's in a few more months now.

In U.A.E currency my Budget is at about 100k.And the cars i have on my mind so far are:

Chevrolet captiva 60k basic options

Nissan Altima 73k Basic options

Honda Accord 82k Basic Options

Mercury Milan 75k Basic options

The above cars mentioned are all new and showroom prices.Along wit hese my other optional choice would include showroom pre-approved used cars.

Mercedes c200 2008 Classic 115k

And probably a bmw 3 series if i get the right price.

What i look for in a car?Coupe or not ddoesn'tmatter.But a sedan or a 4wd preferably as i need a lot of storage space.A strong and durable car with good power and average resale value.Luxurious in its range.And the car should ddefinitely ook good.

Thats all..So i hope some one out there could help me out and if u suggest a car of some other brand too,Its fine.

I would stay away from Chevy or Mercury (Ford), Nissan is cheaper, but I'm a Honda guy. Go Honda, better resale value.

For the safety reasons buy any euro car. Dont ever go in for japnese or korean car. American cars are also perfect to buy. Safety is a matter of concern these days.
