not necessarily - i used to have a T-Type LeSabre as a winter beater, and it was a NA V6. looked much faster than it actually was! it was also a frickin' rattlebox.

Yeah, Other T-type models were NA as well. Was mainly thinking back to the late 70s, early 80's when they threw the turbo 3.8 in everything.
Those T-type Lesabres def did look sweet.

as much as i think GNX's were cool, i don't think i'd ever get one just due to the fact that it has the horrible plasticy 80's GM interior that would sound like a jar of marbles being shaken as you drive.

They were also sold as the Pontiac G5. I don't believe they're sold outside of the North American Market.

GM=Pontiac, GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile(gone), Cadillac, Saturn, Hummer(possibly not for too long), Saab, Deawoo(bought but don't use the nameplate-Chevy Aveo), Having trouble thinking of others right now, but you get the point. Possibly part of the reason they are in so much financial trouble-they have essentially 10 vehicles competing in every vehicle class. Bunch of idiots and I like GM...

Nope Dodge is part of Chrysler(formerly Daimler Chrysler but the Daimler company left along with Chrysler's hand in Mercedes)

Ford includes Mercury and Lincoln as well as some other brands used in other markets.

GM also owns many other brands that are used in other markets as well.
