Game - What's this car?

[steelfractal]

Chevrolet Beretta maybe?? The vertical door handle is the killer hint I think

No not quite but you are right that's it's a GM brand

 

[SFFMunkee]

No not quite but you that's it's a GM brand right

Must be a Buick Regal then

Some more hints

 

[SFFMunkee]

It's gonna be one of those brands that I literally never remember exist, isn't it. Friggin' GM

 

[SFFMunkee]

Yep... Oldsmobile... something I never understood as a brand name choice..
It IS an Achieva isn't it?? I was so confident on the other two guesses too hahaha



::EDIT:: Damnit - the grille is going the wrong way (vertical not horizontal) and fuel cap is on the wrong side too.. What the hell is this friggin thing

 

[SFFMunkee]

Wait is it a Cutlass!??

::EDIT:: That's my final answer, if it's not a Cutlass of some description (Supreme? Coupe? something or other) I'm giving up on this one haha

Oh thank god, I was starting to doubt myself after having been so confident of the last couple of guesses!

mitsubishi carisma by any chance?

It's actually NOT directly related to the previous car. I went based on front grille looks haha although this particular one has a different pattern than the one I originally thought of.

What a magnaficent mystery car!

You cheeky bugger. I guess this counts as getting it!

mitsubishi carisma by any chance?

It is a Mitsubishi - it wasn't known as a Carisma here but definitely seems to be a close relative.
It's possible this is an Oceania special -- it's a Mitsubishi MAGNA as noted by @confusis above

::EDIT::

I think they were actually quite handsome cars of the era, the front gives BMW E46 and the back added some Aussie and Japanese flavouring

 

[confusis]

@SFFMunkee the Magnaficent bit was supposed to be a hint for others, but alas, I must take my turn;

 

[riba2233]

Ah yes, looks more like galant but the version we got here is slightly different so I wasn't 100% sure.

I have a feeling I know what this is... were they perhaps made in a suburb of Wellington known for its car industry... where perhaps the Magna was also made (assembled?)
I'll leave this for someone else

 

[confusis]

Indeed, they were produced in Wellington for the NZ market. Also produced in Aus, and other countries!

Hint: Brand has been owned by GM and is now part of Stellantis.
