Acually, a Chevette was partly developed by Vauxhall, and has a fair amount of British heritage.

In the UK, they made a car called the Vauxhall Chevette.

And the Omni was partly a Simca design. Early Omnis has VW engines. Later they came with the regular Chrysler "four" which had a cylinder head designed by FIAT.
Lots of cross-pollination in cars.

so, yesterday I'm driving into town to pick up a friend at about 10 pm and see come on the highway, and eventually get passed by a bone stock Mustang II. What made it interesting though was that right behind him was a very loud but really pretty cafe racer that someone had made, and behind that was a bike right out of speed racer - neon illuminated wheels and chassis. - they all seemed to be together, cool but curious.

a co-worker recently got divorced and his ex requested the judge order him to buy her a 4 door car that would get better milage than her current blazer. He found a Chevette with 38,000 mile (can we call a chevette mint condition?).

Needless to say she decided to keep the blazer and the judge said he met her orders.

There was a game at work that when you see a chevette or Omni you were to take a pic and send it to the other workers and end of the week it is a beer for the top taker

Any one remember the Dodge Omni GLH? I remember in high school one embarrasing my friend and I in his mom's camaro berlinette

In the UK we had the Chevette HS and HSR. 2.3 litre twin cam and 5-speed Getrag transmission. Went like sugar off a shiny shovel and even the bod-standard Chevettes were more attractively styled than the US versions. Mind you, so were European Escorts.
