Guess That Car game - By Clues Only

[Adunaphel]

dammit, how could i miss the Lotus Cortina?

 

[marsianer]

That's it, your turn now.

 

[Adunaphel]

#1: This car was meant to bring it's manufacturer back to the higher regions of the market
#2: The car it was based on shares it's platform with 2 other cars.

 

[WellsieTRD]

Volkswagen Passat?

Shares its platform with the Skoda Superb and the Audi A4

 

[Adunaphel]

Well, the Passat was intended to bring VW to the higher regions of the market, but they never were in those regions, so it cannot bring them back there , so in short: No

 

[marsianer]

Citroen C6?

 

['CruiserMan]

Edit: Way to Fck'n late!

 

[Adunaphel]

No C6.

#3: The engine comes from a different manufacturer.

 

[Labcoatguy]

Lotus Elise? Massive stretch, I fear.

Edit: RE: the engine, is it by a completely different manufacturer, or a different marque within the same company?

 

[Adunaphel]

It's by another brand that is part of the same group.

 

[Labcoatguy]

Oldsmobile Aurora? Shares platform with some Buick and/or Pontiac, and used the Cadillac Northstar engine.

 

[Beni]

Opel Signum?

 

[Adunaphel]

Nope.
#4: It was the first saloon car ever to feature an engine of this make.
#5: And still the only one ever to feature it branded as such.

Lancia Thema 8.32?

 

[Adunaphel]

Yup, your turn.
