"Directive 2002/24 / EC defines double wheels, which are legally regarded as one wheel, as “two wheels mounted on one axle, where the distance between the centers of the tire contact areas on the road is less than 460mm"
Those two in the Fiat look as though they may be independently sprung?460mm looks remarkably like 18 inches - which country wrote the rule?

The Fiat uses the same spring mounts & shock positions as the original trailing beam. Effectively this is a single trailing beam too, as there is a crossmember in front of the wheels.
By the way, these have been well covered on this very thread last year: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Some evidence for the allegation. 
It would appear the prototype is not the only example in existence. LHD version on HEAD Facebook page: October 2019.

Honda also rebadged some Isuzus for the USA, too. The Honda Passport even survived two generations...

US market, based on the same 'J body' platform as the mk2 Vauxhall Cavalier. It came up on a Facebook page, I thought the doors looked a bit like the Cavalier and Wikipedia confirmed it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_J_platform
You could get the Oldsmobile with a 2.8 V6 though, the top Cavalier engine was the 2.0 4 cylinder. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_Firenza

Not the car itself, but the official RS bodykit. Can't say it's one of their best moments......
Is that really an offical kit? Ford's RS styling wasn't necessarily more subtle, but it generally looked a lot more professional.
