That's what my mate said first but he decided to Google it to be sure, it still had the dash and the chrome centre speaker piece had vertical bars not the horizontal of the FE.

Well-kept Porsche 914 on full registration, Epping NSW, today. Also en cours an FG sedan with bike rack registered MLN10M - had a chuckle - and the current sole patron at Hornsby’s 24/7 indie gym arrived in a tidy white sport pack AU sedan. Think our Sprintey would be especially pleased.

A SSV Commodore VF2 sedan with a Chev badge on the boot.
I thought that this desecration ended about 10 years ago.
Bogans never die, they just update.

It’s when you see Chev bow tie badges on the sixes that is truly cringe

Today: another dark green Excel two-door; I saw a red Echo two-door hatch and I don't see many Echo hatches but then today I also saw two Echo sedans on the same road. (Echo sedan is a real 'grannie' car if ever there was one.)
