The last version of the Kadett: GLS 2,0 with airfoil, 14 wheels of pol and exchange of short relations. In September of 1998 it it opened way for the Astra of second generation

For the consumer, the GLS brought the advantage of not being fit as esportivo by the insurance company, what it burdened the previous version -- as if a airfoil one changed the profile of use of the car... E, in any way, the item would be inserted again in model 1998, where the GLS started to be the only option. The Ipanema left the market, substituted in part for the Corsa Wagon. As the Supreme Omega also she was discontinued, the mark would be almost of it are of the segment of turkey hens -- until today.

A Kadett still in production: the Cielo, model of four doors that the Daewoo native of Korea manufactures in the Uzbequistão

At this time -- September of 1997 -- the Europeans knew, in the Hall of Frankfurt, the Astra of second generation and GM announced its brief manufacture in Brazil, to retire the Kadett and to erase the bad image of the short importation of the previous model. The stand of military name was in our market until September of 1998, even so remains in some countries ( it reads below ). Until today, many lament that the robust and efficient Kadett belongs to the past.

For the world it measures

Kadett C already was a world-wide car, with versions in the United States (Chevrolet Chevette, as here, but of diverse style), England (Vauxhall Chevette), Japan (Isuzu Gemini) and Australia (Holden Gemini). But in the generation and this characteristic if he accented, therefore it reached Asian markets until then unexplored

The responsible one was the Daewoo, that firmed partnership with the Opel and produced for much time, in the Korea of the South, the three versions, four and five doors, with varied names: Racer, Cielo, Nexia ( above ), Le Mans. Restyled at the eastern taste, they had also arrived at the South America: in Argentina and Uruguay it is not difficult to see these cousins Asian of the Kadett.

The engine is always of 1,5 liter, with eight valves (75 cv) or 16 (90 cv), and in function of the voluminous bumpers the length arrives the 4,48 meters in the three-volumes (4,26 m in the Hatch ), keeping the 2,52 entreeixos of m.

It fit to the korean mark to recolocar the car in the demanding market of U.S.A., where the Buick had vendido Kadetts of the Opel in the end of years 60. Launched in 1988 with the emblems of a well American mark, the Pontiac LeMans ( too much photos ) was a Kadett of three or four doors with motor 1,6-liter of 74 cv, automatic or manual exchange and few differences of style for the German model or the Brazilian. During five years it concurred there with models as Hyundai Excel, Ford Escort and the Volkswagen Fox, that was our Voyage .

Locked up in Korea in 1996, the production of this Daewoos was transferred to the European east -- in the Poland, Romênia and Uzbequistão, one of the countries of the old Soviet Union. Irony of the destination: the Kadett remains alive in the same region -- of the Ussr -- where it was produced per nine years, then after the Second World War I.
