You did afterall say "totally different company/manufacturer", which wouldnt be the case.
GM does not have enough shares of Fuji Heavy Industry to have legal control of Subaru. In other words, Subaru/FHI still maintains its independence.

You nailed it on the second one, and while your answer to the first question is technically correct, I made a stupid error of omission.
:happysad: I forgot to mention the date cutoff. h:

1) Chrysler power in a French designed, Italian built GT Coupe -_________
The car dates back to the mid 1950's....

I'd more likely guess Triumph. Maybe the Spitfire?

Would notorious have been a better adjective?

Seeing as John DeLorean was an American who just so happened to build his car in Ireland, I wouldn't really call it British.

No.

The engine in the 944 was 2.5 liters with port fuel injection--essentially it was one half of the 928's V8. The Starion/Conquest had a 2.6 liter engine with throttle body injection.

Also, it was not a DSM since it was built in Japan. The Conquest had "Imported for Chrysler by Mitsubishi Motors" badges on it.

The VQ35 is descended from the VQ30 which is descended from the VG30, which was initially produced long before Renault had anything to do with Nissan.
