Basically, I'll give you a series of brands. You tell me the badge-engineered car (both model names) that links each set. For example:

Chevrolet - Toyota - Subaru - Saab -Chevrolet

The answer would be:

Prizm/Corolla, GT-86/BR-Z, Impreza/9-2X, 9-7X/Trailblazer

(Other answers would be acceptable, too, if they work.)

Anyway, here's an easy one to start you off:

Mitsubishi - Dodge - Volkswagen - Ford - Kia

Yep! I actually forgot about the Montero/Raider and Pointer/Escort. I was thinking of the 3000GT/Stealth and Sharan/Galaxy. But nicely done!

I just wish it was possible to make this difficult without being impossible.

You could, but it would probably have to be very long.

Yeah. And very obscure, too, using brands that only exist in one specific province of a 3rd-world country that no one can remember without a map, and such.

Still, this seems pretty fun regardless.

Mitsu 3000GT/Dodge Stealth, Dodge Sprinter/VW Crafter, VW Sharan/Ford Galaxy, Ford Festiva/Kia Avella

I have to admit the Dodge Sprinter/VW Crafter one is a bit far fetched, but the Crafter is a 2nd gen Mercedes Sprinter, which is what the Dodge is.

Also, I just thought of a good one. Mind if I post it?

It works, but I was thinking of the Caravan/Routan. Still, nicely done!
