Lateef ◊ 2023-05-26 21:20	Never seen a Taunus with quads before - was more a Cortina thing. Looks good on it, though.
rjluna2 ◊ 2023-05-26 21:23	Curiously, the first thumbnail provided by Gamer shows that it has round quad headlights
Gamer ◊ 2023-05-26 21:23	What makes it a Taunus over Cortina then?

Lateef ◊ 2023-05-26 21:30	Gamer wrote What makes it a Taunus over Cortina then? Simple. Cortina has a distinct coke-bottle body which is toned down on the Taunus. The taillights and tail panels are also different. Compare: Taunus - Cortina
Gamer ◊ 2023-05-26 21:32	I was thinking it was more of a trim thing. Generally I knew that the Cortina was chiefly destined for RHD markets, but I would have imagined some countries with more independent traffic (Portugal, Greece) might have received LHD Cortinas as well.
Lateef ◊ 2023-05-26 21:38	Cortinas and Tauni were sold simultaneously in Norway and Denmark, effectively competing against each other.

But that doesn't work as it and the bonnet have a narrow snout where Cortina was much wider. Also the rear bumper has been replaced - normal Taunus had a lower cut-out to avoid blocking the plate, but this is straight, and has lights on top surface. Can't find a better pic to compare, but is it an Italian bumper. And can I see a made-for-I indicator in front wing?? Although not sure if front indicators are white enough ... Gamer wrote ...

Yes - both countries got quirky Cortinas - Portugal because they built them there, and Greece got unique tax break Cortinas with 1098cc
