Seoul On a Roll: GM Gives Kappa to Daewoo
General Motors is issuing another Kappa roadster. First came the Pontiac Solstice, then the Saturn Sky, and then Opel got in the act with the GT. Now, GM is rolling out the Daewoo G2X for the Korean market. The Sky-doppelganger made its debut at this week’s Seoul Motor Show, and it will be available solely in 2.0-liter turbocharged, 260-horsepower form.
Curiously, the G2X won’t find its way into showrooms until the end of this summer.
The premiere of the unique G2X roadster a few months ahead of its domestic sales, which start in late summer, is a true highlight of this year’s Seoul Motor Show.
Its longitudinally front-installed 2.0-liter 260-hp engine with turbocharger and gasoline direct injection accelerates the roadster to 100 km/h from a standing start in just 5.5 seconds, and to a top speed of about 227 km/h.

It may be a late arrival in Korea, but good luck in seeing the Sky spank the Miata there, too.

Kal, think outside of your "american-centric" box for a moment. when the article mentions "domestic sales," it is referring to the KOREAN domestic market.

What's wrong with that shifter?
