The Ascona took its name from the lakeside resort of that name in Ticino, Switzerland, and already in the 1950s a special edition of the Opel Rekord P1 was sold as an Opel Ascona in Switzerland, where the name was again used in 1968 for a locally adapted version of the Opel Kadett B into which the manufacturers had persuaded a 1.7-litre engine borrowed from the larger Rekord model of the time.
The Pontiac/Daewoo Lemans was a rebadged variant of the Opel Kadett; Opel Kadett Combo (European markets); Vauxhall Astra Mark 2, Vauxhall Belmont, Bedford Astravan, Bedford Astramax (Britain); Chevrolet Kadett(1989) (in Brazil); and the UzDaewooAuto Nexia (in Uzbekistan).
The Bedford/Vauxhall Astramax (Opel Kadett Combo in mainland Europe) was a very popular choice with drivers, and on the television show Lovejoy, it was used as a minor action vehicle.
