Daewoo has always taken GM's platforms and made it into their premium sedans...i remember early-mid 90s when I still lived in Korea, my dad's boss drove a "Daewoo" premium sedan, when we relocated to Australia, looked just like the Holdens the aussies drove.

It's nice to see hood ornaments come back.

I've always liked them, despite their Granny/Grandpa image (one more reason among many why I think auto-market image is nonsense). Today they are almost extinct in the American market, except for the Rolls-Royce, some versions of the Cadillac DTS, some versions of the Lincoln Town Car, and some (?) Mercedes-Benz products. Even Buick, one of the last holdouts, dumped them with the new Lucerne and LaCrosse.

It's on all MB models. The only MB models that don't have the hood ornament are the "sport" models which have that huge star on the grille instead.

Wow, the exact same car's badged as a Holden in Australia, a Chevrolet in the Middle East, a Buick in China and a Daewoo in Korea. GM sure knows how to make innovative products.
