Because it's not a Swift, it's a Holden Barina, and therefore must be a Chev. We have one. That model Swift was developed with GM and in Australia was sold as a Suzuki and a Holden.

Not a bad little car, but in no way a Chev. I'm just waiting for some images of Chev badges on an Apollo.

Whoops, my bad sorry, still, it shares its DNA. I'd take a VP if I couldn't find a VN. Wasn't looking too hard at the picture.

I thought the same, except for the wheels and "Size Matters" badges. I believe that is a proper (Ralliart?) front bar too. I remember someone at work at a very neat VRX Magna at work and it had the same front bar.

As for the rest , I don't know whether to or
