Is that a Holden Commodore? I'm sure I've seen some pickup variants maybe on Top Gear?

Here's a quick one with a harder bit tacked on for those with more time to kill

Two badly smashed cars, what are they? (you can include the truck if you want three points)

The harder part... What is the connection between the two (models not individual cars)

Is a HSV GTS, based on Commodore but extensively modified by HSV. Jeremy Clarkson has a test drive on Youtube.

Not a Fiat Panda, I have no idea about the truck.
The second one would make anyone cry, especially it is was their own.

Could it be a fiat, possibly a 127, crashing into a ford truck?

I think the second is a jaguar, not sure what model though?

I think that little yellow car is a BL Mini Metro but it's hard to tell without the front end.

Steve G - A Mini Metro - Yes.
Traveller2 - A Jaguar - Yes, but what model ?

Sandemb sneaks in with the correct Jaguar model.

Now what on earth do these two car models have in common (and not that they are a bit bashed)

Powered by a development of the twin-turbo V6 that was fitted to the Metro 6R4 rally car, 281 of the supercars were hand-assembled at Bloxham in Oxfordshire and sold for £470,000.
