Looks a lot of chrome for L? |

It is now listed as sedan, but if it is a City, it's a hatchback. Any view of the rear? In Holland such a 'full-chrome' version was called Grand Luxe in 1976/77; not sure if that name was used in other countries as well (the 1978 chrome version was called 'Berlina', as in Germany, but those had the vertical front indicators). -- Last edit: 2011-02-01 23:17:54 |

I think wing badge is City, so hatchback status OK for listing without needing rear view. I think UK top trim about 1976 was Special with Luxus as mid-trim. |

Good point, that badge... We had four trim levels: (basic with no name) / Special / De Luxe / Grand Luxe ... |

In the background right a Barkas, far left an original DDR-street-lamp. Yes, badges of Western cars often were "lost" while visits in the DDR. Just above my PC there is the Mercedes-star hanging, someone had tried to steal (but the failed) from my grandfather's W123 in spring 1978 .gif ":)") |

Is this Japanese? The very similar Buick Opel from the same period was basically just an Isuzu Gemini rebadged for American sales.Or was that just a Japanese-built variation of a German design? |

This scene was probably filmed in Berlin. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1247657/locations |

No - this one is an Opelised version of the UK Vauxhall Chevette hatch. But your 2nd question - the Isuzu Gemini was just a Japanese-built variation of the German Kadett, which was then adopted for the Buick. And Holden borrowed the Opel, and then various other bits of GM and others did the same for Korea and other bits of SE Asia. And Vauxhall adopted the Kadett saloons, estate and van to expand the Chevette range beyond just the UK-developed hatch. Hope that's all clear. -- Last edit: 2011-02-03 19:17:50 |

For sure there, to be precise, in East Berlin (clearly to identify by the street-lamp) |

I didn't see your earlier comment, sorry. I was just reacting to "Is this Japanese?" |
