TIL, a rebadged Hyundai Accent exists as the Dodge Attitude.

It's apparently built and driven in Mexico. The current version is still a Dodge Attitude, but still has Hyundai badges. Weird. I did some looking around and found that is because Hyundai itself doesn't make cars in that market. But wow, not a partnership I expected. Real badge engineering here.

Chrysler Group is a fan of odd relationships. Dodge and Hyundai, Chrysler and Mitsubishi, Chrsyler Maserati.

Horace Elgin Dodge and John Francis Dodge would not be amused.

Chrysler also markets the i10 (or Iio) in Mexico as the "i10 by Dodge" and the Hyundai Starex is sold as the Dodge H100, which is now the only light truck/commercial vehicle remaining under the Dodge name after the creation of Ram. They don't even bother to change out the badges on the current models though, just like the Mexican-market Ford Grand Marquis.

The relationship is just about over though, Hyundai-Kia is in the process of rolling out their own distribution network in Mexico.

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > nFamousCJ - Keeper of Stringbean, Gengars and a Deezul 10/29/2014 at 19:18

Don't forget Lamborghini, and now Fiat.

They wouldn't understand. They don't have Attitude .

Such a facepalm-worthy name, really.

Chrysler is the slut of automakers.
