Could the hubcap design could indicates Pontiac LeMans?

Should be listed Origin of Germany, Made in South Korea, and either Made for USA or Canada.

as this was filmed in Canada it could be a Pontiac Lemans or a Passport Optima. I am doing some research now to see if the hubcaps can narrow it down.

well these hubcaps were used on both the LeMans and the Optima. There is no other way to tell these cars apart from this angle so I am going to list it as an Optima as that is more likely

These hubcaps were also used for the "original" Opel Kadett E, but I don't know, in which years.

In fact it's the same car, leoz, just different badges in different countries. Sometimes bumpers and grille are different, perhaps the interior, too, but it's the same model anyways.

I think this T-Car has to have the most rebadges of any car. (25 according to Wikipedia)

As I've learned at IMCDB, this car should be that one with the most different names: /vehicle_60254-Hillman-Hunter-1972.html, but the car here is quite close to it.

It's a bit irritating, that the direct predecessor of this was was not a "world car": /vehicle_49747-Opel-Kadett-1980.html
I only know as Opel and as Vauxhall.

The next precedessor was annother "world car" of GM with many different names: /vehicle_31776-Opel-Kadett-1974.html, up to that version (annother thing, I've learned at IMCDB): /vehicle_222251-Saehan-Maepsy.html


The following model of the car shown here, didn't got badge-engineering any more: /vehicle_176094-Opel-Astra-1992.html Any other names except Opel and Vauxhall?

The next successor had more names again, for example in South America: /vehicle_116221-Chevrolet-Astra.html

The following generation, too: /vehicle_116218-Chevrolet-Astra.html
And available in the USA, after missing two generations: /vehicle_255201-Saturn-Astra-2008.html

P.S. Thanks to IMCDB, that again I've learned more. :king:

It was just yesterday evening, in this topic, that I've heard the first time in my life, that there was a car, called "Passport Optima". ;)

It can't be a '88 model because even the basic Value Leader had "Lower Accent Grey Paint".

The '91 Value Leader didn't have it, however.
