I am an old company named for a river.
I used to build Rootes Group vehicles.
The first time my name appeared on a car in the US, it was one of 3 vehicle makes written on the car. Each make was from a different continent.
For a short time, I made a turbocharged AWD coupe with all-wheel steering.

Well since you’re a HondaBro, you should know. Isuzu sold the G1 Odyssey in the US as the Oasis. And various Civics and Accords rebadged in Japan through the early ‘00s. And Honda sold a rebadged Rodeo as the Passport, just like Acura rebadged the Trooper as the SLX.
