Looks a bit like that 60s Datsun copy of a MGB roadster but don't think it's one of those with that front end and rear wheelarches.

AnthonyG Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 That Senator convertible looks pretty good and, by the similarity in style to the Cavalier Mk2 convertible, not that far off what GM would done themselves had they bothered (although I can well see why they didn’t - the target market would have been pretty small) mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieInExile Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 26 minutes ago, MKT said: These are RWD afaik Launched in 1990 (based on ye olde underpinnings) and already looked five years out of date. Only stopped making them in 2005 because they couldn't afford to bring them up to spec to meet emissions rules. How shite would one of these be compared to, say, a Yugo Skala or FSO Caro?

quicksilver Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The Buick Opel by Isuzu. Now there's a car with an identity crisis. Another of the eleventy million GM T-car variants, it's essentially a federalised Isuzu Gemini sold in the US as a replacement when the Deutschmark exchange rate made the Manta too expensive to import (and who knew Opel Mantas were sold in the US by Buick dealers?)

Missy Charm Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Not so much a car that I didn't know existed, but one I had completely forgotten about and suddenly remembered: the Proton Coupe. The Coupe, or Putra in its home market, was related to the Proton Satria, which as we all know was based on the Mitsubishi Colt. The Coupe, however, was a stylistic copy of the Australian market Mitsubishi Lancer Coupe or Mirage Asti, which is the Japanese Colt. It's all very confusing. Engine was a 1.8. I've actually seen one in real life. wesacosa, AndaBoss, Datsuncog and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have one when I was still in the motor trade a long time ago, always had the strange desire to swop over all the evo3 parts inc rear floor pan to make it 4wd, for the life of me I can’t actually remember what happened to that car Missy Charm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
