Anglo-American (was English, now owned by Ford)

Because there is no brand recognition or equity to "Dodge" in Europe,
aside from Dodge-badged, Renault-built heavy trucks.

Dodge Bros. was an American auto manufacturer purchased by Walter P
Chrysler (another American automaker) in the 1920s, at which point Dodge
became a brand of the Chrysler Corporation. Since Daimler-Benz took over
Chrysler in 1998, Dodge is now a brand of DaimlerChrysler, a German
automaker.

Other brands of the now-defunct Chrysler Corporation include Plymouth (no
longer in production), DeSoto (no longer in production), Imperial (no
longer in production) and Fargo (no longer in production).
