Chevrolet will replace its Lacetti/Nubira/Cobalt with this slick saloon in autumn 2008. Our spy photos reveal the four-door Chevy in near-production form three months ahead of its planned debut at the 2008 Paris motor show. The name of the newcomer will be announced on 8 July 2008 and this time a single badge will be used globally, instead of different names in different markets. In the UK, Chevy's mid-sized car was called the Lacetti, but an-all new tag is in the pipeline this time.Chevrolet Lacetti: the replacementThis four-door will arrive first and is expected in UK showrooms in March 2009; three- and five-door hatchback versions will follow later in 2009. There won't be a direct replacement for the Lacetti estate, although today's bargain load-lugger will continue in production until 2010.Then, at the end of 2009, Chevrolet will launch a crossover which has the task of replacing both the Lacetti station wagon and the Tacuma midi-MPV. Both new Chevy models will be based on the GM Delta platform; that means a host of new tech and upmarket gadgets that you wouldn't believe possible on refashioned Daewoos
