Post 2011 "New Damas" model.
(It got post 2003 "longer nose" design , make it either 2003-2007 "Damas II" (Gasoline powered) or post 2008 "New Damas" (LPG powered) , and after the company name changed from "GM Daewoo" became "GM Korea" in 2011 , both Labo and Damas became brandless(aka no brand logo on the front end panel.))

Isn't it 2004 rather than 2003 ? As we don't have many 2003 on the site
Should all the 2008+ be "New Damas" instead of "Damas II"? Vehicle makes tend to use "new" in the model name when they release the new model, but it is usually not really part of the actual model name (e.g. Fiat often does that).
If the nameless model is from GM but not really Daewoo any more, shouldn't we list it as GM Damas ?

Yes , all the 2008+ should be "New Damas" (뉴 다마스) as they literally use this as the full model name.

And the nameless model is nameless because it's not a proper GM model so it's sold as a standalone brandless model(allegedly speaking.......even thoguh Chevrolet CMP/CMV (for central Amermica) is a thing and I just found out Uzbek-built Chevrolet Damas is also a thing. So TBH , I'm not too sure now.).
And the catalog I found by wayback machine also show no brand names.

GM is not really a make either, we use to list under GM the models for which we don't know if they are GMC or Chevrolet, as well as some special vehicles. So it could fit to that one, still better than no make at all (not really possible with the current site structure) or Daewoo if it was not used any more.

Fine , but at least make it "GM Korea" (since it's the trade mark of the company (the former Daewoo Motor) use today.)
For a model that was in a way , meant to be gone with the Daewoo brand.
(The South Korean government rolled out new policy for "every passenger vehicle built post 2014 , must equip OBD and O2 sensor.....which Labo/Damas was too old(mechanically) to have and facing the end of it's production history.
But due to the public fear of "invasion of Chinese" (Since Damas/Labo was the ONLY Korean built micro turck/van on the market , the general public was afraid of Chinese made micro vans would took over the market , if Damas/Labo was discontinued.) , the government forced to allowing both model to be stay in market , but in 2020 , due to the model is really too outdated to fit the modern day , environmental and safety standards , The plug was still being pulled in 2021)

If we use "GM Korea" it kind of defeats the purpose of the fictional "GM" brand used here for the GM models with no actual brand :D

But the whole reason for this being sold as brnadless is due to GM didn't consider this as a "GM" model , like , at all.

The best bet is to choice from three different brand names that listed on the namu wiki (A SKDM wikipedia type site)
"DAEWOO / GM DAEWOO / GM KOREA"

As we had GME in Europe: /vehicles.php?make=GME&model= (and the same for GM Egypt)
I suppose we could have it as GMK (as I saw somewhere for the Damas) or GM Korea indeed...
