I love the GM J-Car

I love the J-Car. It is a platform knocked up by General Motors which has provided me some of my favourite cars. What cars came of it?



You'll know the stylish Vauxhall Cavalier MK2. Love these. Must have a ridiculously poor survival rate - loads of them one minute, all gone the next! What went on there? It stinks.



Here's the Opel Ascona equivalent being RAMMED TO DEATH.



Loads of American versions. Here's a Pontiac Sunbird J2000 Convertible.



And a crusty sedan. This was from an auction! Just think, you could have owned that.




Want some luxury? Here's the Cimarron, by Cadillac. For a new kind of Cadillac buyer, etc. Came with chintzy interiors and often with a 2.8 V6! It did very badly. People are idiots.



Here's a nice Chevy Cavalier.



They did a coupe too! Looks smart.



And they kept making J-body Cavaliers until 2005! Bonkers. Never seen one of them before.



Going back to Pontiac for a moment, they ran this Sunfire right up to 2005 too! Go on the J-body! Nice one lads!



What were Oldsmobile doing? They were knocking out Firenzas. Here's a sporty coupe!



Prefer the sedan though. There was also a station wagon.



Here's a Holden Camira - fun fact, the MK2 Cavalier Estate used parts shipped over from the Camira Wagon. How do you like them apples?



Even Japan couldn't escape from the charms of the J-car, look at this bad boy! Isuzu Aska. There was a 2.0 turbo one, which is probably that. And a diesel.



Here's another weird creation, the Toyota Cavalier. Knocked up in the USA and shipped over to Japan.



And here's a Chevrolet Monza from Brazil. What is it with Brazil and 2-door notchbacks? They seem to get them of everything, can't blame them as they look ace.

Finally, pour yourself a whisky and admire the crisp Bertone styling of the Daewoo Espero. The most beautiful J-car ever produced. I love it. It's a stunner.





Do you love the J-car too? In that case, you are my friend. If you don't like the J-car, GET OUT OF HERE. Never darken my doorstep again.
