OV9

I love Horse Outside by the Rubberbandits. Not sure why this bit of the video annoys me today rather than any other time in the 15 years since it was released. But at about 57s in, the lyric is about Darragh and his Subaru but the car shown in the video is an AE86 - possibly even quite a rare one since it's a coupe (not liftback) with the fixed headlights.

Now I get that Subaru scans much better in the song but surely they could have found a chavved Impreza for the video?

I'm a bit confused that the one with a boot as opposed to a hatch is known as the coupe, but otherwise you are correct.

Anyone who's been location location location under a rock for the last decade or so may require this:

Always a Toyota thing - it's weird enough that they made two body styles of their sports coupes in the first place, but the notchback versions were always the coupe and the hatchback versions were always the liftback. Opel Manta was similar I guess.

Yeah, after I posted that I also thought about the Manta.

Was going to say the Manta was the same

That era of Cavalier was also available in both body styles, called coupe (https://www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk/vehicles/2307/) and Sports Hatch (https://auctions.wbandsons.com/auction/ ... t=731&sd=1) - I only draw a distinction from the Manta because the Sports Hatch name wasn't used on the Opel version, as far as I recall.

Anyway, back to the song - why do the lyrics refer to a Subaru and the video show a Toyota, eh?

It doesn't really matter, 'cos - you know - he has a horse outside.

Fuck your Toyota(-engined car).

You'll be relieved to know they didn't fool the IMCDB either

The other possibility/probability (of course) is that they:
