What is the latest Commodore PC compatible that sold in the US?

Was it the Commodore Colt?

I love my Commodore Colt (PC10-III). It's a really nice 8088 system. I just wish it had one or two more slots.

According to wikipedia the commodore pc-30 and pc-40 were 80286 based, the pc-50 had an 80386sx and the pc-60 a 25Mhz 80386dx.

Understand but I do not think they were all released in the US.. seems like the Colt was the last machine in the US from what I can find.

That could be. I read that those two last models were made in Germany. Personally, I've never heard of Commodore PC compatibles. Did Commodore make their own motherboards or are they standard third party motherboards.

 

Edit: From the video, yes commodore did make, at least, some of their motherboards but used third party graphics adapters. In those days there were so many brand name computer manufacturers (I was selling them in the mid 1990s), Commodore would have gotten lost amongst them. In the 1980s the PC compatibles I used were no-names, and that includes office, school, and home.

Commodore also had own expansion cards (ISA slots obviously). At one point they sold far more PC's than expected, what started as a gimmick turned into a business segment. I understand most of them were sold in Europe, in particular Germany but I'd be surprised if none of the 286 or 386 based systems were introduced in the USA, which early on was so much more PC oriented than Europe ever was.
