Well, no, not really. But in a perfect world we’d have the Epic again.

One could say it would be, epic.

Yes, but that’s not very epic...

In fact it’s a massive piece of shit.

Who am I kidding, the OG Envoy was a piece of shit too.

General Motors of Canada created Envoy to sell badge engineered British built Vauxhall’s and Bedford vehicles on the Canadian market from 1959 to 1970. In 1964 the Vauxhall Viva HA was introduced in to the Canadian market as a Vauxhall and also as the Epic. The Epic differed from the Viva in that it used the grille and rear lights from the Viva SL. Although not marketed as an Envoy, it carried both “Envoy” and “Epic” badging.

The new Vauxhall Viva in the U.K., the Opel Karl in Europe.

These small city cars are so bland and almost generic in design and appearance.

Hyundai i10

Hyundai ix20

Suzuki Celerio.

Mitsubishi Mirage.

and the Ford Figo coming to the U.K. as the Ford Ka.

So much bland.

The Suzuki is so bland they named it after this...

And the Ford? Well...

…The Viva was called the “Epic” in Canada?

Ok, I’m speechless now. xD

Yep. Later on it was called the Firenza. We also did get the Viva, but as Vauxhalls were sold at Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealers, Chevy/Olds dealers wanted some imports, so Envoy was created. There was also a model based off an old Bedford van and the Victor too.
