Is it just me or do others think that the front of the new Holden Barina front has more than a passing similarity to our Lancers?
What's that old saying - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

New Holden Barina vs CJ Lancer
ClubCJ's first Sportback
It is but the car is just a chevrolet aveo/sonic
And looking at other chevrolet's, all their family cars look kinda like that they all have the split grille.
Although it certainly looks just like a lancer...
I'm tired of all the rebadged cars around today... Why can't they change the panelling at least...
At least it looks good.

I realise it is a rebadged Chev/Daewoo/whatever, but the distinctive split radiator/intake grille, plus the headlight shape and design, plus the raised bonnet sections above the headlights are very CJ. The Holden badged version moreso as they have placed the Lion logo where our Diamond is in the centre of the top grille....
It ain't ugly I will agree....! (although the back end missed out on any real update anmd still looks like the old one).

The headlights on the aveo are quite lancery though. At least the indicators are on the outside.
I think a lot of headlights look like that now though, because it looks good and is still cheap to make.
And notice the bonnet lines.
None of the features are exclusive to the lancer, but as a whole it definately is a 'baby lancer' to my eyes at least
And that colt is UGLY. The colt should be the aveo and the barina can be the colt

The Colt is damn ugly and should just go IN the bin if you ask me
The new 5 door Barina is actually $2000 more than the old 5 door. It also has bluetooth and a heap of other wonderful things.

Personally I don't give a rats what people think of what I drive... Like the guy that was having a chuckle hopping into his old crappy commodore while I was driving our paint faded excel...
Chances are he didn't have anything else in his driveway
I do 1000kms a week... looking for something more efficient as my daily. Can drive my turbo car, or the escort I am restoring on the weekend
