I guess its Daewoo counterparts sold better in other regions than the European ones did in their home markets. I remember seeing one Daewoo Nexia, believe it or not, registered in the Dominican Republic, in 2002 in Florianópolis, Brazil. I would only see another of those in 2016, with Uruguayan plates IIRC.

There was a Daihatsu but I can't remember what they called it.
There were sedan versions of the Daihatsu Charade, which are actually quite proportionate, and the Daihatsu Applause which was a liftback even though it had the same profile of a more traditional sedan. Even though I also don't like the appearance of the Daihatsu Applause, its liftback is quite interesting to say the least, even though it's not as proportionate as in the Kia Shuma.
