It's really a 'xxxx' underneath.

Cavette is actually a sentient Iveco Daily underneath.

I was surprised to find out once that the now almost extinct Daewoo Nubira was based on the GM 'J-Car' Vauxhall Cavalier/Opel Ascona. It came to the UK SEVEN YEARS after the mark 2 Cav ceased production but it still looked alright to me in a nineties kinda way.

 

Nope, that woud be the Espero that was J-car based. With downscaled Bertone-styled body originally intended for a never-built Citroen XM saloon.

 

Nubira was engineered in the UK at the former IAD design centre in Worthing. Styling was by I.de.A.

 

Lanos, Leganza and Matiz were all styled by Giugiaro, and engineered in Korea. In fact Matiz was ItalDesign's rejected proposal for the Fiat Seicento from 1993. This was styled by Fabrizio Giugiaro (son of Giorgetto) and was his first complete design.

 

 

In its independent phase, Daewoo got a lot done quickly by outsourcing a lot of the design work.

I think he'd have bit if you'd put Iveco Turbo Daily....
