spot on reasoning brother and thank you for the mod ))))))

I was just explaining my reasoning for why each car is named how it is because they acted like the database does no wrong. If you don’t establish brand consistency, you’ll end up getting brands like Cadillac, Eagle, Pontiac, etc. thrown into the mix when they don’t have to be. The Chevy C10 could be the GMC C10 and the Chevy G20 could be the GMC G20. But they aren’t. Why? Because it wouldn’t make sense for it to be a GMC when there’s a Chevy model right there. Same thing with the Pontiac Parisienne when there’s a Chevy Impala right there. You need to be consistent if you want the proper vehicle names and that’s why vehicles have been named accordingly. I also feel like just looking at some of the names should be enough to think that it’s the right vehicle name.

@CosmicNebula643, Thank you for such work, but don’t you think this is monkey work?
I mean, why explain something to a schoolchild who hasn’t made any effort to understand your choice based on the name of this or that car.

TLDR: The wiki isn't always right. Just because it says something, doesn't mean it's always right. There were some things that weren't taken into consideration, such as brand names not being consistent (Dash and Franklin) and as such some vehicles would be wrong. Example: Dash Elite being based off of a completely different car in Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer even though the only thing that really changed was a nicer texture and a new name. It shows you how important a vehicle's brand name is to determing what vehicle it is. On top of that, there are vehicles that look similar to each other because they've been rebadged by different car manufacturers under the same parent company. Examples: Oldsmobile Delta 88, Chevrolet Caprice, Pontiac Bonneville, Pontiac Parisienne. These are all the same car, just rebadged differently under their parent company General Motors.

Now, after reading all that and deciding that the database is still right, (which I don't really care if you think it's right or not, it can be edited by anyone so mistakes will happen) you can manually change the vehicle car names to your own desire.

Just open the media folder and go to your language and change the vehicle name from there.

Chevalier:
The name is similar to Chevrolet. There are no vehicles that I've seen that might hint that this fictional brand is made up of more than one real world brand. The only vehicle that I can think of that might be from a different brand is the Chevalier Primani, which I'm not entirely sure what it's based off of because of the very different tail lights. I took an educated guess and made sure to stay within the Chevy brand so that's why the Primani is the Cavalier. I could see an argument for another vehicle name, but right now I don't see any vehicles that completely resemble the Primani in game.
