American cars, sold in AMERICA, with factory installed rear fog lamps

The Olds Aurora was one, and I saw another one this morning. First correct guess at that car wins an Internets.

There can't be THAT many cars, since it is a Euro thing, and the only cars you normally se with them are German.

But some American cars were sold here with them. Post yours below.

Too lazy to really check, but I'll guess some lame Saturn from early 2000's sharing some Saab stuff.

Will somebody please explain to me the difference between reversing lights and rear fog lamps?

A rear fog lamp is a bright red light that is intended to increase your visibility to following traffic when you are driving in foggy or low visibility conditions.

Reverse lights are white, and are used to notify cars behind you (as well as light the area behind your car slightly) when backing up.

Rear fog lamps are to be used in low visibility situations to alert cars behind you that you are travelling ahead of them, as they illuminate brighter than the tail lamps. They're standard equipment overseas where foggy weather is more prevalent.

Over here they come on a lot of Audis and whatnot, and dumb people leave them on all the time.

Looks like the Buick Encore may have them.

Probably not functional.

The last CX-7 had "fog lamps" (seriously, that's what they're called in the parts catalog) but were not lit. They're expensive as hell, and where a bulb would go, there's a blank... a blank that COULD be cut out if you wanted to add a bulb there I guess.

I'm sure those sold in Japan/Europe/ETC have the blank cutout, and have a bulb in there.

The Encore is a rebadged Opel, which obviously does have rear fog lights. So the Encore could have them as well, although I wouldn't be surprised if the penny pinchers removed them.
