SEOUL, Korea – December 2, 2008: GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GM Daewoo) announced today that it sold 4,537 vehicles in Korea and exported 57,847 vehicles for total November sales of 62,384 vehicles.

In November, GM Daewoo also exported 61,795 complete knockdown (CKD) kits of parts and components to be assembled into vehicles.
