We understand that in the minds of most drivers, some car brands and models are more respected and have a higher cache than others, but trying to pose as something you are clearly not usually doesn’t end well.

Like this first generation Chevrolet Aveo, itself a rebadged Daewoo Kalos, which was snagged on camera by Carscoop reader ‘MiniMania’ in Canada.

Our reader tells us: “A Chevrolet Aveo disguised into a Jaguar…. Love its attention to detail… Look at the decoration on its door.”

We can’t see what’s going inside, but on the outside, the car sports a miniature version of Jaguar’s chrome grille and leaping-cat hood ornament, the XF’s side blades and several badges on the tail gate including a Vanden Plas moniker (once a brand of its own, but in later years used as a designation for higher-end models).

Thanks to ‘MiniMania’ for sending in the photos!
