Default R badge

Saw a car yesterday quite muscular rear end although looked somewhat old fashioned and 80 ish, it had a strange manufacturers badge that I have not seen before just an R in the middle of an oval shape, anybody know what car this is?

Could it possibly be a Buick Riviera? Never thought they would have Buicks in Abu Dhabi, but anything is possible.

Sorry xbeakerx in retrospect it was a bit rude of me, thanks for helping and my sincere apologies for not appreciating your help.

Plenty of crappy old American cars in Abu Dhabi and yes I think you are right it looked like the Buick Riviera supercharged coupe of 95 but the rear had the buick badge removed and just an R showing, probably a good idea, thanks.
