Chevy Citation

Subaru B9 Tribeca. A boring film festival?

Renault Kangoo (not Kangaroo)
Citroen Saxo, Xsara, Xantia

Ford sold a rebadged Kia which Aspired to be real car.

To be fair, the Aspire was a better car than most real Fords of the time. They aspired to be as good as a Kia
In the 90s, the Probe and Aspire were the best cars sold new at the Ford dealer!

GM’s 70’s subcompacts…OMG
Oldsmobile Starfire - a star IS a ball of fire; so what is a ‘Starfire’?
Pontiac Sunbird - is that like a Pheonix? A bird that comes out of the sun?
Buick Skyhawk - a hawk is a bird, so it will fly in the sky, what is a ‘Skyhawk’?
