How good is your vehicle recognition?

The cars pictured below all have generic titles such as Car5, Car11 etc.

They are nice models, all by Lotharhake, but I think they deserve proper names. I'm pretty hopeless at recognizing them. List as many as you know, identified by grid position eg. C3, A5. I need manufacturers and if possible the model names too.

This might even be fun!

D2: 1990 Buick Estate Wagon

D3: 2000 Acura RL

A4: 2004 Chevy Malibu

The rest got me stumped
 
That's an excellent start though, Duke. Thanks for including the likely years as well.

I'm reasonably sure C3 is a Mercedes Benz (the rectangular grille is more MB than Jaguar I think) but I'm much less sure of the model/year. Anyway, I'll wait to see what others come up with.

A5 is a 1990 RV Fleetwood Bounder.

The old white car in the middle at the bottom looks to be a 1990s Buick Regal aka an old farts car because mostly old farts drive those.
 
D3 is a 2001-2009 Volvo S60
B2 appears to be a SAAB.

Peter, I hope your brother in law survived! :p

OK, the planet has rotated almost once since the opening post, so I will assign names according to the suggestions gathered so far. Some may not be absolutely correct, but it doesn’t really matter, anything is better than a name like “US car 7”.

Thanks everyone.

I think the trouble we’re having highlights how so many brands have lost their identity. There are some like Rolls Royce, Hummer, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW that have an instantly recognisable “personality”, but so many others follow the same style trends and may as well be clones.

Up to about 1990s, I can tell a Cadillac from a Chevrolet because they had different body styling. Chrysler Motors and Ford Motors made most of the cars on one chassis/body after 1980s. Now, some of the new cars look fancy almost like late 1950s/early 1960s with tail fins and too much chrome. Even trucks became fancy "cars".
