gavril:Ford/Chevy ETK:BMW Ibishu:Honda/Toyota Civetta:Ferrari Cherrier Peugeot Hirochi: Subaru I didnt mention Autobello, Burnside, Wentward, Bruckell, and Soliad because idk which real brands they resemble yet.
Devs dont make cars just like the real ones (aside from the copyright reasons) they usually make some sort of mesh between brands... ETK vehicles are shaped like BMW but both the I-series and 800 are avaiable in AWD options, a typical Audi thing
mazda, daihatsu, and mitsubishi all made 3-wheeled trucks up until the 60s or 70s, it's quite reasonable to suggest the pigeon is just extending the lifespan of such a truck.
There will always be discussions when asking this question. Because most of the vehicles are kind of mashups from different brands. I think the Autobello brand has some heavy FIAT inspiration, but that's judging from the only vehicle they have made so far. Ibishu has a lot of inspiration from many different type brands, so it's really hard to tie it down to one. New gen Pessima reminds me of a Mazda 323, and old gen Pessima looks like a Mitsubishi Galant, Hopper probably has roots to Suzuki Jimny/Samurai, Miramar a Toyota Crown? Covet looks like a lot of Japanese hatchbacks from that era, could be a 80-90's Suzuki Swift or Honda Civic, 200BX has some similarities to a Nissan 180sx So yeah... One brand can be a lot of IRL brands mixed into one
The FCV Vivace and Tograc, besides the design of the exterior and interior being obviously french, seem extremely inspired by the Volkswagen Audi groups technology. Its power terrain heavily reminds me of an average vw product, especially the naming of the awd system, Clutchex, which is totally not similar to Haldex. It's reacts similarly to the real thing, even disconnects the rear like it. The engines are treated similarly to how people tune them in real life, too. A decent amount of people put a stage 1 ecu tune on their 2.0l gas Golf GTi's/ R's, and they take it very well. The 2.5L 5 cylinder seems more inspired by Audi's recent engine offerings like on the RS3. The suspension configurations, again, seem very similar to the Jetta's and Golf's you can buy now. A lot of lower end golf's and jetta's usually have rear torsion beam suspensions, and higher trims have rear multi link suspension. TL: DR Vivace is golf that looks different with slightly different engines.
As for the interior the small, flat wheel with the gauges resemble a lot the Peugeot cars, while the exterior looks a bit like most recent citroens.
bruckell resembles chevy and chrysler, soliad is oldsmobile, buick, and pontiac (i say pontiac because of the soliad g4000 mod that existed, which if you download the latest version still works)
what about the jeep-derived mitsubishi jeep/toyota land cruiser, or the landrover-derived nissan patrol?
