I'm assuming this is a bit more complicated than "they're auto companies?"
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Correct.  :ohyeah:
Next:
Saab 9000
Fiat Croma
Lancia Thema

They were all built on the same Type Four Platform. Where's the Alfa Romeo 164? It should also be there! :lol:

Yes you're right but I was thinking of the Italdesign/Giugiaro body... basically the same body. The Alfa 164 had a different body. My Dad had a fully-optioned Saab 9000 which he dearly loved.
Lancia put a Ferrari V8 engine in the Thema 8:32. That was an interesting car - rare as hens teeth.

And it needed a new timing chain every 20,000 km. Now that's annoying maintenance.  :tounge:

Why didn't Subaru make the cut?
Aargh I saw a Crosstrek yesterday and realized I'd missed one.

They both participated in Group B rallying?
Harris Mann.
He worked at Ford UK and was involved in the design of the Escort (& the Capri.)
At the dreaded British Leyland the TR7 was all his.

Ah! My first thought was that the TR7 probably used the Ford Escort rear lights or something... :lol:


This is fun. MORE! ;)

They each had V4 engines.
Yup. When I was a kid one of my uncles had a Saab 96 - with the Cologne version of the Ford V4. Another uncle, his brother had a Lancia Fulvia Coupe with its narrow-angle V4. That engine was a gem. The Ford engine, not so much.
