10 surprisingly familar cars you've probably never heard of - Telegraph

I've always liked seeing these re-badged cars. Anybody else have some they can remember? There used to be a daewoo based off the mk2 astra nad it had hardly changed.

I remember that Daewoo, I'm pretty sure some of the body panels were interchangeable.

I think I read somewhere that some gte owners swapped everything over when the original shell started rotting.

Quite common for Mk2 Astras to get body swapped into Daewoo Nexias! Only use for them

Kia Elan anyone?

the real truth is thast the mk2 astra is a copy of the daewoo. the story goes, vauxhalls mk2 astra was alot more square, like a mk2 golf. then the mk3 cav was designed and they realised the astra would look old. having just bought the daewoo car division, they realised their lemans was what they needed. and so the mk2 astra was born. they have the lemans here. its odd, i keep expecting to see a gte.....

they still make them in russia iirc.
