    D.J. Lee, President and CEO of Daewoo Motor America stated, "We have made
great strides in our business in 2000 despite some adversity caused by Ford
withdrawing from negotiations (in October) with our parent company and the
announcement in November of Daewoo Korea's corporate restructuring.  We look
forward to significant sales gains in 2001 as we continue to emphasize our
price/quality advantage which makes sense to people on a budget."
