What if Opel introduced a new generation of the Omega large sedan, which would become a more affordable alternative to established premium executive cars?

From an alternative timeline where the Zafira did not fail in Australia, and Holden imported the Zafira B and Zafira Tourer until 2019.

The Zafira B would be sold up until 2014 in Australia and New Zealand in this timeline, with it being renamed to Zafira Classic alongside the Zafira Tourer and lasted up until 2014 due to the end of production of the Zafira B.

Before you say anything, mazy use to make a 4x4 named the Pathfinder back in the 70s. Google it

A three door 4x4, that also comes as a troop carrier. Powered by either a 205HP gasoline engine or a 175HP Toyota sourced Turbo-Diesel. It is planed to be available in Oceania and Europe. With planes to be assembled in North America as the Toyota Rocky

Random idea that came to my just scrolling through reddit.

An alternative timeline where Vauxhall did an coupe variant of the Chevette that combined the body of the Opel Kadett C coupe with the front end of Chevette.

An alternative timeline where Ford Mexico introduced it's own version of the Courier to replace the aging Brazilian-built one based on the Mark IV Fiesta, then again Mexico did axe the Brazilian-built Courier around 2010.

It was based on the sixth generation Ford Fiesta, with it introduced in Mexico for the 2012 model year. It would be facelifted in parallel with the Fiesta, first for the 2014 model year and then for the 2017 model year. Production of the Mexican Courier ended alongside the Fiesta in 2019.

In a world where Holden didn't die and GM still owned it, the Holden design Sandman is sold in North America as the new GMC Tracker

Body on frame design, comes with a Chevrolet 335HP V6 , 440HP V8 or a 295HP Duramax Turbo-Diesel. 8-speed automatic (6-speed manual only available on the Sandman), full time 4WD and is meant to compete with both the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco.

There is a "Denali" package available for the Tracker, but as a option.
