    Chevrolet Epica (V200) 2000-2006

    The Daewoo Magnus is a mid-size sedan developed and manufactured by Daewoo Motors until its purchase by General Motors, and now built for GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GMDAT) by Daewoo Incheon Motor Company at its Bupyeong facility in South Korea. GM Daewoo and other GM divisions, as well as GMDAT stake holder Suzuki, have marketed this car under different badges in various countries. The car is also known under its internal Daewoo designation of V200. The Project Manager was Dr. W.J Lee.

    The V200 is a further development of the Daewoo Leganza (model V100), based on a stretched platform of that model. Launched in 2000, it was sold alongside the Leganza in Korea until the end of V100's production in 2002, when it also superseded it in export markets. The V200 itself was given an extensive facelift for 2006, which resulted in the model known as V250, or Daewoo Tosca in Korea. The V250 completely superseded all versions of the V200 during 2006.

    The Evanda comes equipped with the Daewoo-developed XK6 inline-6 engine (DOHC 24V, 155 hp (116 kW) at 5800 rpm, 177 lb·ft (240 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm - Canadian specification) or a Holden-built 2.0L E-TEC II Inline-4 (DOHC 16V) carried over from the Leganza. ItalDesign of Italy was responsible for the styling and design of both the Leganza and Magnus. However, the upcoming V250 was styled in Korea by GM Daewoo.

    From 2000 until 2004, the V200 was marketed as Daewoo Evanda in Western Europe, and Chevrolet Evanda in many Eastern European countries where GM did not use the Daewoo brand, as locally-manufactured versions of old Daewoo models were still sold under that marque. The Evanda replaced the Leganza, and also the Chevrolet Alero. Later, in 2004, the entire Daewoo brand was replaced by Chevrolet in all of Europe, with models renamed accordingly.

    The Magnus was also badge-engineered as the Suzuki Verona in the United States and Chevrolet Epica in other markets, including Canada, China, some South American countries and Arabia. However, Suzuki announced it would drop the Verona after the 2006 model year due to poor sales.

    Finally, this car is also known as the Formosa Magnus in some Asian markets.

    That new one is the one with a straight six under the bonnet, isn't it? It must be rubbish, but there's something I like in having a straight six for about 3p...

    To make live more difficult,
    In 2003 it replaced the Daewoo Leganza (1997-2003) and was sold as Daewoo Evanda for only 2 years and it was replaced by the second generation which Ferrer posted under the the name Chevrolet Epica. Which was sold from 2006- till 2010.
