This is the wrong answer. The Daewoo Lanos, in addition to it’s Pineapple Express cameo, was styled by Giugiaro. There are plenty of other Korean cars to hate on if you must, but this one is not the car you are looking for.

Biking and public transit for me, thanks.

“You just got killed by a Daewoo LANOOOOOS, mothafuckaaa”

Meanwhile in Europe...

When it was announced Daewoo was going out of business, a local dealership here in Orlando put out a “Buy one get one” offer on these. Never saw anything like that before or since. And even the price for the one was only $5-7k if I remember correctly. So two brand-new cars for something like $3k each. In 1999.

I thought a jeepers worst nightmare was being rescued by a toyota

would actually be a great le mons car

As the dubious honor of owning the FIRST Daewoo Lanos sold in Texas, I can attest to the complete and total fucking, steaming pile of shit they were.

Actually, people did want them and they were pretty all around over here.

Now wait a cotton pickin’ minute-you got the Daewoo all wrong. Its the strongest car out there. How so? Get this...

$720. You could buy it, never change the oil, never wash it (gas station squeegy baths excepted), try and kill it, rally it through snow, have a ball, and buy another when it dies after five astonishing years. That’s my buddy’s car philosophy, anyway.

To be honest, I sort of like the look of the hatchback:

Unless you want to run somebody over with it, then you can quote Pineapple Express!

38 people would say otherwise.

Hell, I’d buy one just because my dad used to sell them back when they were a thing.

At that price, you can almost certainly sell enough of the interior to get into LeMons territory.

Danny McBride farts in your general direction.

Actually, Daewoo Lanos was very popular car in Poland when they were sold as new. :D It was cheap, well equipped, and quite reliable

Be fair: that’s not all American engines, even from GM. As far back as 1991, 2.3L Quad-4 was pushing out 190hp and reaching nearly 7k revs. And if you’re not limiting your experience to NA engines, the 260-hp Cobalt SS turbocharged was one of the fastest FWD cars ever.

Rally all the things!!!!!!!!!

Should be named the LAMO S
