Was the Chevette a scaled down Cavalier? Or are they basically the same car :-\

The red saloon in the original link looks just like a Mk1 Cavalier...

Was occasionally taken to school in one in the early eighties, I can still smell the damp and petrol fume mix ;D It was poo brown as well, as if that was it's biggest issue ;D
The Cavalier was significantly larger.

It was launched with the 1256 pushrod engine from the Viva/Chevette as an option if you didn't want the 1.6 cam in head engine. I don't know if anyone actually bought one :-\
