More Outliers

[Doofus]

Following my Automotive Outliers thread, which grew more legs than I anticipated, here's another:

Whilst we all know it's the wrong name on a car the manufacturer didn't need to make, the electric Ford Capri has it's model name on the front as well as the back.



Now, things like the Triumph Stag and the original Ford Mustang have grille badges representing the model rather than the make, but what other cars have the model name on the front?

Triumph Spitfire & GT6.

TR5 also.

Not a car, but FIAT seem very proud of the latest Ducato

Don’t know why
It also masquerades as a Citroen/Peugeot/Toyota/Dodge van

Land Rover have done it quite a bit over the years with the 90/110/Defender.

I liked when BMW had the model and engine badge on the grill, then you could easily spot the six cylinder cars which were the ones to have.

Ford's have got form for this sort of thing:









It seems as if only the later cars had to make do without the front-end nameplate.

Fast Audis have been there for a few years

Ok then, so the answer is "Almost all of them."

[Mr Squarekins]

Seem so!
