I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the Honda Civic yet...
We’ve got the obvious ones that most of us [should] know, like 6th & 7th Civic is the 1.6 and 1.7 EL, the 8th Civic is the CSX...

But at the same time the Rodeo and Trooper was sold as the Passport and SLX, respectively, the 1st gen Odyssey was sold as Isuzu Oasis in the US. In Japan the Accord also sold as Isuzu Aska, and the Domani was sold as an Isuzu Gemini.

So back to the 6th gen Civic. It was engineered into the 2nd gen Honda Domani, which was rebadged as the Isuzu Gemini in Japan and the Acura 1.6 EL in Canada. It was also engineered into the wagon chassis Honda Orthia and Honda Partner, the latter being a commercial van. And then there was the Honda Integra SJ which was an EK3 sedan with the Honda Orthia front clip. Didn’t look anything close to an Integra haha. So basically of 7 models, 6 were sold by Honda themselves. And if we do some more digging, i think there’s something about the Rover 400 being engineered from the Domani as well
You can find that people swap Civic (type R) front clips onto Orthias, which i find pretty cool.

Also, Honda Europe sold a Civic 5dr wagon and Aerodeck with the 6th gen lineup. But it wasn’t an Orthia. It was a 1st gen Domani badged as a Civic, but 1st gen Domani was engineered from the 5th gen Civic.
