After seeing this pic of a 'Subaru Traviq' in the comments, I wondered: what are the most horrific examples of rubbish badge engineering? Suggestions please!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Our Acura TSX, your European Honda Accord.

The 80’s and 90’s were a massive pile of fail here in Aus for that:
Holden Commodore = Toyota Lexcen
Suzuki Swift = Holden Barina
Ford Laser = Mazda 323
Toyota Corolla = Holden Nova
Nissan Pintara = Ford Corsair
Nissan Pulsar = Holden Astra
Almost the entire Holden range is now badge engineered crap.
Whereas holdens in the uk, most of the time are pretty good cars
Seriously, Honda ?
