My history is VERY accurate. It's you that has to do some rethinking. I live in North America, Canada to be exact. Daewoo was in North America for a while. They had a dealer network, and were trying to establish themselves here. They failed and went bankrupt in North America. They left. It's history. I don't know what goes on overseas, but here Daewoo went bankrupt and failed. GM bought their operating facilities in South Korea and rebadged their cars with their Chevy bowtie.

Someone else already said this, but GM WENT BANKRUPT. They went through it, and filed for bankruptcy. Saturday night live even did a parody of their fatcat CEOs, who made billions, begging the U.S. to save their failed company. The government agreed because their complete shutdown would have hurt the already ailing U.S. economy. That's HISTORY! It was all over the news. Deny it if you want, but GM went bankrupt, and so did Daewoo in North America.

Also, it is Consumer Reports who used the crude, outdated, and unpleasant words, not me. I just repeated them, and happen to agree with them, because GM used the SAME platform for 25 years with the Sunfire/Cavalier. Consumer Reports was comparing the compact Cavalier against the Honda Civic, Corolla, and other compacts. I don't believe all people who choose, or chose a Civic, or Corolla over a Sunfire are rich bigwigs, who live high off the hog. The Corolla and Civic are considered economy cars along with the Cavalier/Sunfire. As for me, I drive a used Toyota Echo, and there is nothing fancy or hugely expensive about it. It is actually a subcompact, which is supposed to be underneath a compact like the Cobalt.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Anyone can add to it. That's common knowledge, so it would seem.

Also, a BMW has absolutely NOTHING in common with a Chevrolet Aveo, or Hyundai Accent, or any economy car for that matter. I don't know why you keep mentioning it.

Finally, I've had excellent luck with my Toyota! It's been flawlessly reliable, and fuel efficient. No matter what I may or may not aspire to own in the future, discussion about BMW's belong elsewhere on this site.
