    Sounds a bit too close to Citroen. I'll take it though anyways.

    Also, should I make the next suggestion based off the Mercury Milan?

    2008-2012 Garvil HV4 (Mercury Milan/Ford Taurus)
    It is a...

    2000s-2010s American mid-size AWD family sedan. Based off the Milan, but takes some cues from the Taurus.

    Why do we need it?
    Because we don't have any modern American mid-size vehicles yet.

    We already have 3 brands that can be Gavril's midrange and would nicely go into the Pontiac-Oldsmobile-Buick structure, we do not need a fourth.

    Maybe a Bruckell?

    Burnside is already stated to be Gavril's brand, and Bruckell and Soliad are exclusively based on GM designs.

    Bruckell and Soliad are separate from Gavril, but relation between them is unknown.

    It's never been said; as GM-based brands, their relationship with Gavril is very likely the same as Burnside's.

    I hate comparing BeamNG brands to real ones, but Gavril is based on Ford and Bruckell is on GM.

    Gavril has a ton of GM elements - the D-Series looks like an 88-97 C/K truck, the Bluebuck is pretty much a fictional '64 Impala, the Grand Marshall's front looks like a Caprice and has similar engine choices (4.5 and 5.5 V8 to 4.3 and 5.7 V8).

    OK, but then Bruckell is not 100% GM either, since Legran's styling is similar to that of K-cars, and Moonhawk is Monaco plus Chevelle with some Aspen mixed in.

    The LeGran looks as much as a K-Car as any 80s sedan, and the Moonhawk is first and foremost a GM A-Body, with a rear window that looks like the Aspen's because the GM one did, and a grille that shares the mesh and stacked headlights with the Monaco... and a shitton of 70s cars.

    That's because almost every BeamNG car is a fusion of different real life ones, hence why I said I hate comparing them. As for Gavril-Bruckell relationship, there is no official proof that they are one company (unlike Gavril-Burnside). It is highly unlikely that Gabester would narrow all American vehicles down to one manufacturer.

    He took all main midrange US car inspiration from a single corporation, so there you have it.

    Although the Bruckell Albatross seems to have a Thunderbird-inspired name and a Lincoln Mark III-style body.

    You seem to forget about design, but who cares because "it looks like every similar car out there". Care to explain why Legran, which is mechanically and size-wise a copy of Cutlass Ciera, doesn't look like it at all?

    The LeGran totally looks like a Buick Century. Boxy, somewhat tall shape, sloping front, rectangular grille, C-pillar window.

    I decided to change it into a Garvil (just for the fact that the GM has some Mercury cues).

    I'd say a better name would be HV4, more fitting into Gavril nomenclature.

    My idea for Gavril nomenclature:
    Passenger cars/minivans (xVx):
    • AVx - city car (ex. Ford KA),
    • BVx - supermini (ex. Ford Fiesta),
    • CVx - mini MPV (ex. Ford B-Max),
    • DVx - compact (ex. Ford Focus),
    • EVx - eco car (ex. Chevy Volt),
    • FVx - compact MPV (ex. Opel Zafira),
    • GVx - compact executive,
    • HVx - midsize (e.g. Ford Fusion/Mondeo),
    • IVx - midsize MPV (e.g. Ford S-Max),
    • KVx - fullsize (e.g. Ford Taurus),
    • LVx - minivan (e.g. Ford Freestar),
    • MVx - executive,
    • NVx - deluxe exec (ex. Holden Berlina),
    • PVx - sporty exec (ex. Holden Calais),
    • QVx - fullsize RWD (ex. Holden Statesman),
    • RVx - fullsize premium RWD (ex. Holden/Chevy Caprice).
    Sporty cars (xx):
    • Ax - mini (ex. Ford Sportka),
    • Bx - small (ex. Opel Tigra),
    • Gx - compact exec,
    • Hx - midsize (ex. Ford Cougar),
    • Kx - large FWD (ex. Chevy Monte Carlo),
    • Px - executive (ex. Holden Monaro).
    Sports cars - xZx:
    • GZx - "affordable" sports car (ex. Opel GT)
    • MZx - supercar (also used in a 60s Ford GT-style car)
    • SZx - concept supercar (ex. Ford GT90)
    SUVs/CUVs - Greek alphabet:
    • Alpha - city CUV,
    • Beta - mini CUV (-ex. Ford Ecosport),
    • Gamma - premium mini CUV,
    • Delta - compact CUV (ex. Ford Escape),
    • Epsilon - compact coupe CUV,
    • Zeta - compact SUV,
    • Eta - midsize CUV (ex. Ford Edge, Opel Grandland),
    • Iota - midsize coupe CUV,
    • Kappa - hi-mid CUV (ex. Chevy Traverse),
    • Omicron - hi-mid coupe CUV,
    • Rho - large CUV,
    • Sigma - large coupe-CUV,
    • Tau - very large CUV,
    • Phi - very large coupe-CUV,
    • Omega - large SUT.
    Utility - x-Series:
    • A-Series - developing market minitruck
    • B-Series - compact truck (ex. Chevy C10/LUV)
    • C-Series - midsize truck (eg. Chevy Silverado),
    • D-Series - fullsize truck,
    • E-Series - mini van (ex. Ford Transit Courier),
    • F-Series - compact van (ex. Ford Transit Connect),
    • G-Series - midsize van (ex. Ford Transit Custom),
    • H-Series - minivan-based/fullsize van,
    • M-Series - chassis for coachbuilers,
    • T-Series - semi truck.
    Legacy nameplates - Barstow, Vendetta, Roamer, Dispatcher (like Suburban).

    I put the name as a alternate model name outside Canada and the US. After all, the Taurus was sold outside the US before.

    The Gavril alphanumerics would be used worldwide, just as Ford did with some of its nameplates (e.g. Focus, Cougar, Explorer) in the 90s, and as some sort of a "One Gavril" tactic.
