It was a GM's Global platform, so pretty much everyone had it.
Same goes for the Opel Monza.

Dad had one of these when i was a kid. One day i was sitting in it while parked on the inclined driveway messing with the gear shift. I was 4. I put it in neutral and it rolled down driveway, across the street, and bumped in to a parked car. That was fun.

--- 26536658

We only got the GPII which was a bit faster than the original car.
GM didn't do many hothatches here until the Kadett GSi.

--- 26537532

 Oh it's just a custom jobbie is it? I thought it might have been that super rare expensive Cosworth version but it turns out maybe that was a Vega?
--- 26537586
>>26535372
Honestly why the fuck did they choose Jimmy for the name? Jimmy? Jimmy is the name of that one guy no one likes. You know the guy.
--- 26537939
>>26537038
don't these have an isuzu engine?
--- 26537966
My favorite T-platform car (pic semi related) was the Opel By Isuzu, which was sold in Buick dealerships, nevermind that there were versions of the platform already on sale and being built domestically GM figured buick needed in on the fun and would have the japs build it and the germans brand it too. Eventually when the facelift hit (pic actually related) it was sold just as an Isuzu.

You forgot about the S/R, which was the only one with the 1.6 engine for a while

I also forgot that before the Kadett GSi there's the Monza S/R.

GMC can be called "jimmy", people did that with their trucks. Why did Japanese choose Jimny for their offroader, on the other hand?

I wouldn't say they're completely ignored you see them with V8's shoved in them occasionally by boomers for drag racing mostly.

And the Kadett GS, people seem to like it more than the GSi as a driver's car
--- 26544159
>>26544155
That's an Opel Kadett. Vauxhall Astra in the UK. Top notch hot hatch. The GSI was the top one. Popular with car thieves here in Northern Ireland.
--- 26544163
>>26544159
GTE was the top one. With the C20XE
--- 26544169
>>26544163
Yeah, my bad. GSI was the MK3.
