New Puzzler: Will Shortz' Automotive Word Play

RAY: We're going to use a Puzzler this week that was just given to us by Will Shortz. Take the name of a current make of car -- you know, like a Dodge, a Buick, a Ford, or a Hyundai. Add a letter to it, scramble the letters, and come up with another make of car -- like, say, Saturn.

Now, we should point out that we don't have the answer yet. Will may have lied to us. Or, maybe there is no answer -- in which case we'll have to beat him up.
