Our family had the same stable back then. Our '64 Pontiac was a 4'dr h/t and me and my bros had a '65 Volkswagen.

The other day I saw a BMW 428i and it had four doors. What happened, I'm pretty sure 428 is an even number. Thens I remembered they now have Grand Coupe model. What's a "grand" coupe anyway?
Apparently it's a four door sedan they want you to pay more for than the regular four door. Why do they keep the stupid "i". It used to designate the ones that had fuel infection. Someone tell them every Korean econobox comes with fuelie these days
Cadillac is just as bad, everything is a (some letter)TS unless it's a crossover designated an XT something. Lincoln is an even worse mess, I can never remember which one is a MK-X or is it an MK-S.
Hyundai makes some nice crossovers but I can't tell which Western place name goes with which size. Is the big one a Santa Fe or a Tucson? To really confuse things their mini-van is a Sedona.
I'm waiting for them to come out with a Moose Jaw or a Medicine Hat.
Someone please tell the GMC Division to stop calling cars "Yukon Denali" Mt. Denali is not even in the same country as the Yukon Territory. Probably not many people are aware of this as the state of New Mexico now puts "New Mexico USA" on their license plate because too many dummies thought it was in regular Mexico!
I could go on.

edit to add:
I guess the GLK was replaced by the GLC, or was it the the GLA? My buddy has the GLA AMG
(some number). Apparently the ML series is long gone. I sorta liked those. Thank goodness they still offer the E300-TD wagon. That's the Benz I really dig but I wouldn't kick a C300 cabrio out of the garage either.

Lincoln, no clue on those, but at least it seems they are moving back to names (Nautilus).

428i Gran Coupe
So we see that as far as the nomenclature goes, a 4 Series may be a two door coupe or convertible or a five door Gran Coupe (a hatchback sedan on the rest of planet earth) whereas a three series can be either a four door sedan or a five-door Touring (a station wagon!)
That sure makes a lot of sense to me
At least BMW has finally come up w a hatchback that isn't butt ugly.

Next car is a Pontiac (Daewoo) LeMans, based on the Opel Kadett.
Edit: I've looked at a bigger resolution of the mystery car and now I think the emblems are Pontiac.
