Diamond in the rough?

Name this car:

Made by one manufacturer but sold by 4

One of those manufacturers no longer exists

One of those manufacturers is not doing so well

Turbocharged

RWD

[Drew Dowdell]

Buick GNX. :-P

also sold as the Chevy Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile Cutlass

To my thinking, those were all made by the same manufacturer...and SOLD by the same manufacturer, albeit under four different brands. Pontiac and Oldsmobile never offered turbocharged versions.

I know... I was being a smart ass.

[Hudson]

This one's bothering me. I thought of one that's been sold by no fewer than 10 manufacturers but not all of them were offered turbocharged...and they were assembled by three or four (maybe more) manufacturers.

Are these four "manufacturers" or marketing brands? The "manufacturer" that no longer exists is completely out of business, stopped making/selling vehicles, or not selling/making vehicles for the US?

[XP715]

Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion?

[Camino LS6]

Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion?

That would be my guess as well.

I think the manufacturer's thing got me because I would consider Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth to be one..... that's why I made up my answer.

[Sixty8panther]

Well, acording to that definition there's only about a dozen manufactureres in existance.

That's probably right

[Sixty8panther]

Not trying to be argumenative... I guess I still consider

Pontiac & Buick & Cadillac etc. to be separate manufacturers.

Six of one, half dozen of other

[Hudson]

Well, acording to that definition there's only about a dozen manufactureres in existance.

Actually, there are probably more than 50 manufacturers around the world today...and probably another 100 more assemblers.
