Like mercedes and saab are both made by the same people. Because the chevrolet matiz and daewoo matiz have the same name and look exactly the same|||GM owns both Daewoo and Saab.
It is common for auto manufacturers to take platforms and badge-engineer them across their brands. This has happened at a greater pace since the mid 70's.|||IDK good question|||Daewoo does build some cars for Chevrolet that are badged with a bowtie, IE the Aveo. Kinda like the S-10 / Isuzu Hombre or the Isuzu Rodeo / Honda Passport. they are the same vehicles made in the same place but badged differently.|||Mercedes and Saab are not made by the same people.
No one owns Mercedes Benz, which is German.
And Saab is Swedish, but owned by General Motors.
GM owns Chevy too, but not Daewoo.
Daewoo bought some designs from GM cars like Chevy so they have some similar cars.|||Where are you getting your (so-called) facts from?
Mercedes Benz is a German company, Saab is Swedish. Mercedes is not owned by another car company. Saab is owned by General Motors (but GM is looking for a buyer for Saab as Saab has been a steady money loser for the General), first with a 50% share in 1989 and then buying them outright in 2000.
Back on topic. GM owns Daewoo and they source the Aveo (and Pontiac Wave/G3, the Aveo's sister model) from them. As a side note, Suzuki also sells a version of the same Daewoo car as the "Swift+"|||made in korea/out of business in us just logo change|||1st: Mercedes is part of Daimer AG, a German conglomerate which also owns Freightliner and other heavy truck companies. Saab is a GM brand that is not long for this world.
GM purchased Daewoo many years ago. In Europe, Daewoo was selling poorly because they made horrible little rotboxes, but the GM management didn't realize this, and assumed that people would look through the poor design and quality of their Daewoo products if they put the Chevrolet bowtie on the front. In the US, GM management realized that they didn't have very good small cars, so they brought the Daewoo Matiz over as the Chevy Aveo probably to boost the Cobalt's popularity, because the Aveo didn't sell well, again due to the fact that it is a horribly designed and built little miserable little excuse for a car. Pontiac dealers realized that they were missing out (on what, im not quite sure) and demanded that GM rebadge the rebadged Matiz as a Pontiac, surely helping to accelerate the death of the Pontiac brand.
