God that looks cheap and nasty! Is it any wonder they struggle to be seen as a premium brand?
Isn't that just a rebadged Opel/Vauxhall? Colleague got a "mokka" that looks smaller but very very similar.ZesPak said:

That's the Chevrolet Trax / Buick Encore which is the American version of the Mokka, same developers though so understand similarity.SilverSixer said:
It's badged as Vauxhall Antara/Chevrolet Captiva in the UK.
Again, Probably looks similar coming from the same developers, but its actually a 'unique' design with a connection to the Epsillon II platform, and shares some interior features of the Buick Regal (aka Vauxhall Insignia) other than that it's Caddy's "own" doing.Edited by Cognoscenti on Tuesday 1st August 12:02

Chevrolet Trailblazer
The 9-7X was launched when the Oldsmobile Bravada was dropped (because the whole Oldsmobile brand was dropped)

I shall have to hand in my Pistonheads Membership Card as I discovered there is a whole model line from a major manufacturer that I was unaware of.
On my lunchtime stroll I saw a Ford vehicle on a 66-plate (so, they've been around for a year or so) that looked like an inflated Fiesta.
Looking on the Ford website it appears it was a Ka+.
It seems to have replaced the Fiat 500 based Ka, a vehicle whose only crime appeared to be that it wasn't as good looking as its sister vehicle.
I suspect I have actually seen hundreds of them but they are so dull that it hasn't registered.

Nearly bought one of those last year ... all 4 door as opposed to 2 door for Ka ... looks good in the metallic red but I'm glad I didn't buy oneOn my lunchtime stroll I saw a Ford vehicle on a 66-plate (so, they've been around for a year or so) that looked like an inflated Fiesta.

I suspect you haven't seen many, they aren't exactly flying out of the showrooms, I guess because monthly payments are only slightly less than the Fiesta and it's a much less interesting car.

Saw that when looking for a new small car and could not figure out its position/pricing in Fords lineup. Quick shufty around it and decided it must have been a built for a dare.On my lunchtime stroll I saw a Ford vehicle on a 66-plate (so, they've been around for a year or so) that looked like an inflated Fiesta.

500, Panda, Ypsilon, Ka, all built in Tychy, Poland
Anorak mode - the Panda is made in Italy now, the first new Panda was indeed built in Poland but in 2011 production moved to Pomigliano d'Arco near Naples. This was partly t free up capacity for the 500, and partly to keep the Italian government happy.jamiebae said:

More anorak facts. That's the old Alfasud factory. Alfasud meaning Alfa South, as Alfas traditionally came from Milan (in the North).Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
