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.

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

All E21 and E12s had the model number on the grill unless you ticked badge delete on the order

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.
