Could the hubcap design could indicates Pontiac LeMans? Should be listed Origin of Germany, Made in South Korea, and either Made for USA or Canada. |

as this was filmed in Canada it could be a Pontiac Lemans or a Passport Optima. I am doing some research now to see if the hubcaps can narrow it down. -- Last edit: 2012-01-25 02:06:44 |

well these hubcaps were used on both the LeMans and the Optima. There is no other way to tell these cars apart from this angle so I am going to list it as an Optima as that is more likely |

These hubcaps were also used for the "original" Opel Kadett E, but I don't know, in which years. |

In fact it's the same car, leoz, just different badges in different countries. Sometimes bumpers and grille are different, perhaps the interior, too, but it's the same model anyways. |

I think this T-Car has to have the most rebadges of any car. (25 according to Wikipedia) -- Last edit: 2009-11-03 21:00:01 |

As I've learned at IMCDB, this car should be that one with the most different names: /vehicle_60254-Hillman-Hunter-1972.html, but the car here is quite close to it. |

It's a bit irritating, that the direct predecessor of this was was not a "world car": /vehicle_49747-Opel-Kadett-1980.html I only know as Opel and as Vauxhall. The next precedessor was annother "world car" of GM with many different names: /vehicle_31776-Opel-Kadett-1974.html, up to that version (annother thing, I've learned at IMCDB): /vehicle_222251-Saehan-Maepsy.html The following model of the car shown here, didn't got badge-engineering any more: /vehicle_176094-Opel-Astra-1992.html Any other names except Opel and Vauxhall? The next successor had more names again, for example in South America: /vehicle_116221-Chevrolet-Astra.html The following generation, too: /vehicle_116218-Chevrolet-Astra.html And available in the USA, after missing two generations: /vehicle_255201-Saturn-Astra-2008.html |

P.S. Thanks to IMCDB, that again I've learned more. ![]() It was just yesterday evening, in this topic, that I've heard the first time in my life, that there was a car, called "Passport Optima". ![]() |

It can't be a '88 model because even the basic Value Leader had "Lower Accent Grey Paint". Link to "xr793.com" The '91 Value Leader didn't have it, however. Link to "xr793.com" |
