could be opel, thanks for putting a seed of doubt in my mind... next time *you* want a favour...
Quote:When I was a teenager, there was an Opel model (that I think was a branch of some Detroit manufacturer, GM perhaps) that was a "European Only."
There was also, a few years back, the Mercury Mystique and Ford Contour/Ford Mondeo(IIRC) that were different Europe vs America.
Sadly, the Ford Kia never made it across the pond, due to the small engine's inability to handle US pollution/smog requirements. Likewise, the Renault Twingo. Having rented them both, I found them most satisfactory.

Ford Kia? Are you getting confused with the ford Ka?
Well, if you are you're lucky that it didn't go over there. Those things are so unbelievably tiny and cramped etc. Blech! (I'm not a 'big cars' person, I just never liked the Ka when I travelled in one - maybe it grows on you).
I've never heard of a twingo, perhaps it has another name again.
