Daewoo LeMans

The Daewoo LeMans is a subcompact car manufactured by Daewoo Motors in South Korea between 1986 and 1994, replaced by the facelifted Daewoo Cielo—a car mechanically identical to the LeMans, differentiated only by its modified styling cues. The Cielo was subsequently replaced by the subcompact Daewoo Lanos and compact Nubira in 1997.

Like all Daewoos preceding it, the LeMans took its underpinnings from a European Opel design. In the case of the LeMans, the GM T platform-based Opel Kadett E was the donor vehicle—badge engineered in the form of the LeMans, and later the facelifted Cielo. In markets outside of South Korea, the car bore the Asüna GT, Asüna SE, Daewoo 1.5i, Daewoo Fantasy, Daewoo Pointer, Daewoo Racer, Passport Optima and Pontiac LeMans names. The facelifted Daewoo Cielo in five-door hatchback form was exported to Europe as the Daewoo Nexia with the four-door sedan holding Daewoo Racer name. The Daewoo Heaven name was also used, although the "LeMans" nameplate was not used at all for the facelifted model.
