BUT ... after record high sales ... remember when almost everyone you knew had a Vectra, or an Astra ... heck, my uncle even bought an Omega ... they really messed up on one key important thing ..

DEALER AFTER SALES SUPPORT ... (Customer Satisfaction, Parts, Service)

and as they say ... the rest is history.

Though IIRC ... I think they had one re-badged korean car that was a flop ... the Chevrolet Cassia .. and the Opel Zafira.
The Chevrolet Cassia is one BIG flop. A few units exist on the road. The Lumina is also a flop.... as in Major Major

I hope the Lee magic brings back luster to the tainted image of GM ...

Anybody remember Lion Motors?.... the local importer for Peugeot? It was another Lee project .. headed by no other than Mimi Lee ... the very attractive daughter of Richard Lee. But alas .. a shortlived endeavor too ...

For the price of a base Peugeot 201 ... you can roughly buy 2 Hyundai Getz's ... (yup .. another Lee company) ....

Konting trivia lang ..
It's Peugeot 206.....
