Family II engines.

Because its some shifty import/expert offset money thing.
They were originally for the daewoo's, so possibly built here exported, put in a Kalos ( barina, whatever) and sent back.

Sad for all them people that will lose their jobs.
(I wonder if a certain in-law will lose their job, now that wouldn't be a pity :angel:).

The Family 2 engines date back as far as the Camira and even found there way into some Opel's over the years. Since the Camira finished up around 20 years ago the engines have all been exported with the majority of the recent ones heading over to Daewoo. I have no doubt that the deal with HEC and Daewoo was a factor in GM buying Daewoo when they were considering going belly up.
