No it's a bit more complicated I'm afraid.

I don't know the designer who sketched this car, but the company is not American.

Sorry for the late reply!

Not Oldsmobile, but as close as Cadillac and Chevrolet..

So far so good!
There are still a lot of puzzle pieces missing, so, I'm not going to lock it, yet. ;)

D'oh! Why did I think Oldsmobile?  :doh:

Those taillights are much like those of the last-gen Bonneville. As Pontiac was selling "Le Mans" that was a re-badged Daewoo-built Opel for some time, is this an attempt to move to a purpose-designed follow-up Le Mans?.

No. I know what it was about to be, but can't say which bits belong to that company and which came from the other. It's a stillborn project which was shelved because of changing circumstances. You tell me which companies were involved and why it ended before finishing.

One company is already disclosed.
