Isuzu Gemini MJ 1.5 i (105 Hp)

Isuzu Gemini:

The Isuzu Gemini is a subcompact car produced by the Japanese automaker Isuzu from 1974 until 2000. The same basic product was built and/or sold under several other names, sometimes by other General Motors brands, in various markets around the world. While the first generation was of a rear-wheel drive design, later versions were all front-wheel-drive, and the last two generations were no more than badge-engineered Honda Domani until the name was retired in 2000.
The first Gemini was initially sold as the Bellett Gemini to connect it to its predecessor when it was introduced in November 1974. The "Bellett" portion of the name was dropped in April 1975. It was based on the third-generation Opel Kadett C on the General Motors T-car platform and came in four-door sedan and two-door coupe body styles. The chassis code was PF50, although the later 1. 8-liter versions were called PF60 and the diesels PFD60....(Read more on Wikipedia)

[SAAB made a similar video](http://youtu.be/GwpzhiNurI0) in the 1980s for their 9000, called the *Saab Suite* Incidentally, both the SAAB 9000 and the Isuzu Gemini were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

After watching this, I don't know why the Isuzu Gemini hasn't dominated the automobile scene.
