For me, this is the first time there were 100% 7 correct answers (6 if you argue that Lincoln is just a subsidiary of Ford).   I guess if they had said, non-American car companies the groupings would make more sense.
Remember... the ambiguity is part of the game. All 4 groups need to be satisfied. Sure, you can substitute GM for BMW but then what other words would you combine with BMW to form a logical group?

That's right. It's not a game of absolutes. Some words have multiple meanings. In this game, that is deliberately meant to throw you off.

There is a tricky word in this one that seems like a simple word but has another meaning that I just happened to know. That was fortunate and helped me a lot this morning.

The last two groups for me were tricky.

Kind of an annoying one. Had one of the categories absolutely dead to rights before a single wrong guess but there were too many words that worked, and I didn't guess the ones they wanted me to use. I feel robbed! :)

Thought this one was a little trickier than some of the recent ones.
