This large saloon, more commonly known as the 180, was also sold as a Chrysler-Simca and, after the PSA Group’s takeover of its maker, a Talbot. Yes, it was bad, but hey, its successor, the Tagora was worse.

Chrysler Hunter (1976-1979)
Another Chrysler. Well, shall we just call it a Rootes Group car? The Hunter is probably the most badge-engineered car in history, having been sold at various points throughout its life under the Chrysler, Dodge, Hillman, Paykan, Singer and Sunbeam marques, and with each of those having a plethora of names, too.
Daihatsu F20 (1977-1984)
This rather sweet mini 4x4 off-roader had a 1.6-litre petrol engine, and thankfully for its makers’ sales representatives, it was called the Taft (Tough Almighty Four-wheel-drive Transport) rather than what it was called in Australia, the… erm… Scat.

Datsun 2000 (1967-1970)
With a 135hp 1.6-litre petrol engine, this two-seat MG B-rivalling roadster has a simple beauty about it. Effectively, a mid-life update of the 1600, the 2000 was eventually replaced by the awesome 240Z coupé.
Datsun Micra (1983-1984)
You still see the odd K10-generation Micra bumbling around, but only one of them has a Datsun badge alongside a Nissan one. The same goes for the Prairie MPV.
Datsun 240K-GT Skyline (1977-1981)
There have been many, many version of the Skyline since the name was first used in 1957 (exactly how many depends upon who you ask). With a top speed of 116mph and awesome looks, this coupé must be an awesome sight. Let’s just hope it’s not finished in factory brown.

There's 3 of them for sale on autotrader. RS6 Pluses don't seem in particularly short supply either (relative to the low original numbers). Probably due to differences in what they've been registered as.

All three of the utes adverised on Autotrader are actually SS Commodores, which are badged as Holdens. They are what Abarth are to Fiat for example... Tweaked engines, more agressive body panels, different badging. There is apparently only 1 HSV Maloo in the UK, not including Vauxhall Maloos or the SS.

I meant HSV Maloo's are tuned
