What cars look like they were made by the wrong company or division?
Every time I see a Acura TL, I see the a car that screams Pontiac from every pore. It's almost as if Acura took a look at the Bonneville's front end, and designed an entire car around it.
I look at a G6, and sure it looks nice. But it's a Chevrolet with a Pontiac nose! I love the GTO. But it looks like it should have a Chevrolet grille (it does outside of Australia & New Zealand).
The Solstice doesn't even look like a Pontiac (save the grille). But the Saturn Sky most certainly does.
I was wondering what cars do other people here see and think "That looks like something ****** would have made"

Viper has always struck me as GM in design, besides there middle counsle in Gen 1.
2nd revision of the F4 Camaro, looked more like a DCX car.
Jeep, just looks like the ***** of the autoworld
as does hummer.

Since I first saw them I thought Pontiac should have gotten the Sky, and Saturn should have gotten the Solstice...I think the Solstice really looks a little to cute for either brand, but it's sort of cool looking.

the Sky and Aura should have gone to Oldsmobile. No doubt about that...
I sometimes get the Cobalt mixed up with Honda Civics and Accords

MB's CLS deffinatly looks non-german. Thank God for Italy.
VW Jetta looks like a Toyota Corolla.
Avalon was very Buick, and now the Camry has taken its role.
And of course...Ferrari 612 looks like a certain Chevy 2dr, 2+2 coupe that is near and dear to my heart.
