Daewoo Espero. 1990–6 (prod. 546,520). 4-door sedan. F/F, 1498, 1796, 1998 cm³ (I4 OHC). Badged Daewoo Aranos for Spanish-language markets, rebodied Opel Ascona C was good value. Styling done by Bertone, which explains why some media likened it to Citroën Xantia, though six-light body makes it stand out. Tidy design in and out, hiding outdated 1980s mechanicals.
