Sure, those weren't all sold in one market, but it's the perfect example of GMs multi-branding fetish.
And at the same time as spending money developing those, they already had identical hatches on sale in Europe.





I suspect it is actually because the Cruze is a Daewoo which is sold in competition to European Vauxhall / Opel. Not very good competition mind, nobody would choose an Aveo over a Corsa.
