Looks like a 1990's Barina which was originally an Opel Corsa.

Just another Holden owner so ashamed they've changed the badge. Nothing new (re: Chev badged Commodedores)...

Sorry to sound like a buzzkill but in Latin America, they sell the Barina (Corsa) as a Chevrolet. In fact they still sell that model as the "Chevrolet Chevy." The Corsa D (the one we didn't get) is called the Viva in Brazil. Infinitely better than the POS Vivas we have past encountered.

So what?
So GM uses different brands in different countries and Ford doesnt. Dont see you laughing at Fiestas and Focii, is it cos Ford sells under one brand? |

yeah sure put a chev badge on something like an SS ute, it does look pretty good, but taking off the holden badge and putting a chev one on a barina? you could still see the plastic circle where the holden badge used to be. |

Ive been wanting to switch the badges on the partners 00' barina to Opel ones for ages, but its a $200 proposition; not really worth the fuss.

Slight thread mining, but I spotted this gem over the weekend. Too good not to take a picture.
This Chevrolet rebadging thing is getting out of hand... Not sure what this was, the Missus said it's a Captiva? ![]() |

Seems strange to have a Chev Badge on it when it is sold under GM's Saturn Brand in the States.

![]() All Daewoo cars/dealers in the UK were renamed Chevrolets a few years back. It's odd to drive past a Chevy dealer and see these sorts of cars. Last edited by Kieron; 16-02-2009 at 03:40 PM. |

you don't see ford enthusiasts swapping the badges over to Chrysler now do we? holden fans seem ashamed of the holden badge
