Mitsubishi Mirage/Mitsubishi Mirage.

One is a 90s coupe, the other is a 10s shopping hatchback.

Colt Mirage was also a 1980s shopping hatchback, my Mum had one - later rebadged Mitsubishi Colt when the manufacturer name reverted back to Mitsibishi from Colt.

My nomination is a triple whammy - Chrysler/Renault/Sunbeam Alpine.

Probably a popular mis-spelling by Hyundai owners. For TVR owners it's a case of Google being too clever for its own good.

Umm, they're all GM brands, so will most likely be the same car? Especially Vauxhall/Opel

Not that I know of, think they're completely separate cars made at the same time as each other. Although, somewhat ironically, both cars were also sold under a different brand & model-name

[Johnny 89]

Some people are getting the idea!! Triumph/SEAT Toledo was the other one I couldn't think of.

Other people have got it very wrong! Eg. Cars from the same manufacturer with different names!!!

Others have mentioned model designations which is different.

RE. The BMWs were they called 323i/420d etc.?

It's called a Mazda5.... (no space)

The idea being, you wouldn't just say "oh I drive a 5" you would instead say "I drive a Mazda5" instead of saying "Oh I drive a Mondeo", as most people would already know it is a Ford.

Ford F150
LaFerrari (project name F150)
Ferrari 150
(had to be re-named Ferrari 150 Italia because they were worried you would go out and buy a big truck, and have an F1 car delivered to your door.)
