Several car brands and models start with the letter "O." The most prominent historical brand is Oldsmobile, a cornerstone of American automotive history. Current brands include the Swedish hypercar maker 's model, the Regera, and various models from manufacturers like Opel (a German brand now part of Stellantis). For a quick overview, here are some key examples:
| Brand/Model | Type/Description | Notable Fact/Status |
|---|---|---|
| Oldsmobile | American Car Brand | Founded 1897, discontinued in 2004. |
| Opel | German Car Brand | Models like Opel Omega, Corsa, Astra. |
| Otosan | Turkish Manufacturer | Produces Ford models for the Turkish market. |
| Ollie | Electric Microcar | A modern, minimalist urban vehicle. |
| Koenigsegg Regera | Hypercar | A hybrid hypercar with a unique direct-drive system. |
| Octavia | Model (Škoda) | A popular compact car from the Czech brand Škoda. |
| Outback | Model (Subaru) | Subaru's iconic station wagon/SUV crossover. |
| Outlander | Model (Mitsubishi) | Mitsubishi's mid-size SUV. |
When people ask about cars starting with "O," they are often thinking of the brand name itself. Oldsmobile is the classic American answer, known for innovations like the first fully automatic transmission. While no longer in production, its cars are cherished classics. Today, you're more likely to encounter models that start with "O," such as the Subaru Outback, a rugged vehicle praised for its standard all-wheel drive and reliability, or the Mitsubishi Outlander, a family-friendly SUV. For true car enthusiasts, the Koenigsegg Regera represents the pinnacle of "O" performance, a hypercar with over 1,500 horsepower.

Honestly, the first one that pops into my head is Oldsmobile. My granddad had an Olds 98, a real boat of a car. You don't see them on the road anymore, but they were everywhere back in the day. Now, if you're talking about a car you can actually buy new, I'd say the Outback. It's basically a station wagon that thinks it's an SUV, and it's fantastic in the snow.

From a brand perspective, Opel is a major European player, though it's not sold in the U.S. anymore. The more relevant answers for American drivers are popular models like the Outback and Mitsubishi Outlander. These are both SUVs with strong reputations. There's also the Nissan NV200 Office Coach, a compact van, if you count the "O" in "Office."

Think beyond just the brand. Many models start with "O." The Outback is the obvious one—it's practically an institution. Then you have the Mitsubishi Outlander, a solid three-row SUV option. For something more exotic, Koenigsegg makes the Regera, an absolute beast of a hypercar. Even the humble Škoda Octavia, a best-seller in Europe, fits the bill.

If we're listing them, you've got the classic Oldsmobile. For current models, the Outback and Outlander are the big ones. Don't forget the Odyssey, Honda's minivan, if you're flexible on the starting letter sound. There's also the Olli, a neat little self-driving shuttle concept. So, while there aren't many brands, several well-known models start with that letter.
