No
I was driving along and was overtaken by a Dacia Duster, got me thinking about other cars that have the same letter for the manufacturer and model (small things I know!)

I couldn't think of too many (ignoring Audi and Ferrari - a bit too easy those two)

Morris Marina
Morris Mini Minor
Ford Focus
Ford Fiesta
Ford F-150
Vauxhall (lots of these) Victor, VX200, Viva, Viscount, Velox, Vivario
Suzuki Swift
Maserati Merak

Can anyone think of some more - please add to the list if you can

Yup! mentioned above I actually owned for a while....it was a money pit....

An MG Magnette ZB it was IMO a great car, I bought it for £100
NB possibly a little known fact, they built 36,000 across all the variants......they were very solid and as such too popular with the banger racing crowd :(
