POINTS OF INTEREST
The replacement for the T series Gemini was the RB series, which was available only in front-wheel-drive as a four-door sedan. Most of Holdens competitors were offering hatchbacks; the RB was sold along side the LB Astra hatch to provide a wider choice of body styles. Engines for this series of Gemini were a new belt driven OHC 1.5L four cyl ISUZU coded 4XC1. This engine was more powerful than the TG 1.6L engine and had noticeably better fuel economy. The only engine upgrade saw a switch to an unleaded version to meet ADR's of '86.
No diesel engine was made available as an option. Late '85 saw the introduction of the Gemini Accents accessory appearance packages. Known as the 'Fashion' and the 'Action', they featured enhancements to the interior and exterior trim. The 'Action' received a rear boot spoiler and alloy wheels similar to the JB and JD SL/E Camira. Brakes were power assisted front discs and rear drums; SL/X had 13" X 5" steel wheels while SL/E had 14" X 5.5" alloys. Power steering was available on the SL/E. Interior componentry consisted of cloth trim, AM/FM stereo radio/cassette, digital clock and a split-fold rear seat, as well as retractable seat-belts front and rear.
SL/E had the following features over the SL/X.... Electric remote side mirrors, four speaker sound system (as opposed to two), tacho, tilt adjustable steering column, rear seat head rests, drivers seat adjustable lumbar support, body-coloured front and rear bumpers and grille, remote boot and fuel lid releases, overhead console with reading lights and 'Trip-meter' kilometre memory facility.

That info was in R&D.
