GM Daewoo Matiz To be Manufactured in India
GM Daewoo Auto and Technology revealed its latest mini car Matiz in Seoul last week. The car will go on sale in Europe by 2010 and will be later sold in over 150 countries across the world. GMDAT will assemble these cars in India along with other countries like Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Columbia to cater to the overseas demands. However, it is not very clear about a possible launch in India.
"GM Daewoo has a very bright future. The Matiz Creative showcases that GMDAT is a major manufacturing base for GM Daewoo to produce mini-cars," said Michael Grimaldi, GM Daewoo chief executive.
GMDAT is Korea’s third largest car manufacturer and came into existence in 2002 when GM took over the bankrupt Daewoo Motor Co. "We wanted to make it stand apart from a typical mini-car. We positioned it as a mini-car offered at the price of mini-car but still offering a style to suit urban lifestyles and engine power," said Taewan Kim, vice president of GM Daewoo Design.
The car can accommodate five adults and is powered by a new 1,000-cc DOHC engine which has earned Korea's Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle rating. Average fuel economy is put at 6 litres per 100 kilometres. The company has already received 5000 orders for the car that had a preview last month.

I also have matiz sg 2001 was glad to hear this news but its now more than 2 yrs nothing has happend they are just selling spark not even supplying spares to matiz.I think it was the worst decision of GM management if i would have been their i must have continued giving service to matiz and earn the all blessings of matiz proud owners(approx 1 lac cars in India).And the owners come out of the shameful used car selling prices 35k, 40k,50k,70k

GMDAT shoud restart selling matiz with 1 litre & 800 cc engine as early as possible along with its other vehicals nd maintenance of old matiz running in the country.this way GM will be parallel to maruti & hyundai,i am sure. And offer Aveo-uva with new 1.2litre engine along with old engine may keep some price difference since marketing shoud be according to public interest providing diferent options

Yes, Yes. I am very happy with the news of Matiz launching again. I am enjoying its ownership for last 10 years and challange to any other car of its segment in comfort, style, durability and everything. No other car manufacturer is able to reach near Matiz quality. It will certainly catch the Indian market.... I wish GM for the happy lauching of MATIZZZZZ.
