Seriously, I know GM is desparate for a good design, but that\'s low man... Anyone who comes up and asks of my 3 is an Optra, I\'m going to hit him.

[Soulcrusher]

LOLZ - imagine that ... yesterday people asked if your car was a BMW and tomorrow they ask if it\'s an Optra LMAO :D

I thought Daewoo or some Korean car company or division of GM now is making all those small cars for them. Those rear lights really remind me of the tails on the 6.

Damn cars are starting to all look alike as usual:sarc

[Xenon]

The Optra and the other sedan... wtf is the name... Starts with an E I think...

Both are Daewoos in disguise.... The latter one (the one I can\'t remember) has similar tailights to the new 2005 Subaru Legacy Sedan. Front looks like a Hyundai...

Seriously.... Chevy/Daewoo has to stop looking into peoples parts bags and start developing their own. The lil\' thieves.

Epica!!! That\'t it! the other car....

[miggiddy]

Epica, saw one this moring on the way to work. Not too bad looking, sorta reminded me of a Camry. Didn\'t get a very good look at it, I was a few cars behind. I wonder what the quality is like.

[Xenon]

It\'s a crappy... errr.... chevy...

[TM3]

They can try all they want, but it still doesn\'t really compare to the 3 in any aspect.

Even european automakers are following suite:

IMO the 3 is still my choice.

I bet you that BMW 1 series will have the same options as us (Rain sensing wipers etc.). Just maybe a bit more HP.... but cost 5000-10000 more.

I think the Epica is cool. Nice interior and they went with a I6!

[MazdaTree]

the optra has a low hp also and smaller rims

[wtom]

Totally forgot I had saw one and took a pic of it when I was in Hull, Quebec as part of my Ottawa trip with family back in August on the 8th;

(gotta copy and paste, sorry)

FUGLY back side... too much angle on the rear windshield.

[MazdaTree]

yea the 2 cars are very similar especially the lights they also have the same shape of highbeam and projectors aswell

[RedRaptor]

Someone just bought one at the parking lot where I park my car. Its indigo blue, tints and very clean looking since its brand new.

For those who haven\'t seen this car in person, it looks like a Mazda 3 from both the front, back and side.

Hopefully no one is going to mistaken my car for an Optra...
