Most interesting. I had to become familiar with
this phenomenon when looking to buy a car with/for
Lucille, and we were leaned on heavily by a friend
who worked on the side for a GM dealership to buy
a Saturn (~=Opel); we ended up getting a Geo Prizm
(~=Toyota) instead, also a domestic car with a 
foreign provenance and image and also I believe GM.

You're talking to the wrong person. I wouldn't
be able to tell the difference from a Lincoln.
