Like I said in my post "Daewoo and Suzuki" I think the Leganza/Magnus would be the perfect opportunity for Suzuki to slide into the mid-sized market. But what I would like is more info on that straight 6 engine it's due to have. It's a 2.0 (twin and single cam versions), but not sure if it's a full Daewoo design. As far as I know GM doesn't have a straight 6 of that size....they do have that one from the TrailBlazer but that's a massive 4.odd unit. Hmm....food for thought...more research is needed...

Okay...did some poking around...This Czech site says (I think) that it will have two 2.0 (one of 115hp...sounds like the old 2.0 8valve from the Espero; and the other of 140hp...sounds like the present 2.0 16valve) and one 2.5 of 170hp!! See? Now I'm confused. A French site was saying also that a 2.0 V6 was on the cards...I'm not too sure about this...I have seen the engine and it's a straight six for sure here it is...
And according to Daewoo Korea it's a 2.0
Stay tuned...my search engine is in trouble now!!

Must say that I don't know about that one...Haven't seen any proposed Nubira. I've seen the Kalos which is supposed to replace the Lanos and I've seen the Leganza/Magnus. You got a picture of it? In themnean time I'me gonna do some more research....Stay tuned.
