    Autobello-
    • VW mechanicals, fiat looks (60s)
    • Had a part in the counterculture
    • Very well known
    • Piccolina was clearly an export model, and popular with enthusiasts
    Bruckell-
    • Mix of Buick and Olds (70s and 80s)
    • Dodge/GM mechanicals, Ford and some Chevy looks
    • Stubbornly keeps to pushrod V8s, ignoring Gavril's success with their OHC engines
    • Low-midrange positioning
    Cherrier-
    • Mix of Renault mechanicals, Citroen and Renault looks and Peugeot and Renault market position
    • Rally
    To be continued

    I'd say that Bruckell is much more akin to Chevy/Pontiac. Soliad feels more like Buick/Olds

    Civetta is obviously Ferrari and Lamborghini, apparently well-known for its racing history as stated in the Scintilla brochure.

    to me i feel like hirochi is like subaru since the sunburst has a good amount of simmilarities to the subaru wrx sti, big hood scoop, a wing that is simmilar. and is a a good rally car, but sunburst is more modern (correct me if im wrong)

    Hirochi
    Huge Japanese corporation with products in a lot of different industries. Think Mitsubishi, Yamaha, or Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru). We know this because the piano prop is a Hirochi. Their cars take after Mitsubishi and Subaru, with a hint of Toyota (the Sunburst interior reminds me of an early 2010s RAV4).

    Gavril
    Probably the-biggest American automaker, ahead of Bruckell/Soliad. Gavril is more Ford than GM imo, but the D-Series takes a lot more from the C/K and Silverado than the F150.

    Bruckell/Soliad
    Smaller American automaker. Bruckell takes after Dodge and Chevrolet, while Soliad is more like Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

    Ibishu
    I'd guess Ibishu is either the largest or second-largest Japanese manufacturer. Similar to Toyota, but with a decent amount of Honda and Nissan influence. There's a bit of Mazda and Reliant in there too.

    ETK
    More BMW than Mercedes, with a little bit of Audi in there somewhere.

    I somewhat disagree, the facelift Bruckell LeGran is a spitting image of the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s a DeSoto Firedome. It looks almost the excact same!

    The trimming and the engine are based off the Oldsmobile 88, so there's a bit of GM as well.

    gavril feels a hint of chevrolet but at the same time ford. since i feel like the roamer looks like a chevrolet suburban to me, then the d-series looks like a f150 from 1996 (idk if im wrong cuz i dont play beam often but the only times i do is on my class breaks like no class breaks and weekends)

    The Roamer looks like a Lincoln Navigator to me, and the early d-series is a 1980 ford-looking thing, the intermediate one is a 90s chevy, and the late one looks like a GMC or ford, but more gmc.

    FCV is a Stellantis-type group with the shared platforms and the french origin, the vivace and tograc are based on the Peugeot range with the fang-like headlights similar to the 308, 2008 and 3008, I wouldn't be surprised if they made/make vans and the such, although it could be that FCV is just a subsidiary of a larger group and not the Stellantis type group since that's a bit more reasonable.

    The Vivace's underpinnings are almost entirely based on the MK7 VW Golf, even the front subframe is taken from it.

    FCV isn't a company, it's the name of the platform that the Tograc/Vivace share
