That was what Chrysler did in the 90's. They either had knock offs of Mitsubishi Models or each brand within the company had a knock off of the same car and they all had the same Pentastar logo during the late 80's and early 90's. So if you took the badges off a Dodge Caravan and a Plymouth Voyager for example and then put them side by side you wouldn't know the difference from just looking at them. That was why Plymouth ended up failing because they were just cheaper knock offs of the same Dodge or Chrysler models with the exception of the Prowler being the last unique Plymouth model. The Plymouth Breeze was the same thing as a Dodge Stratus or Chrysler Cirrus, the Plymouth Neon was the same thing as a Dodge Neon, and the Plymouth Voyager was the same thing as a Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town and Country. You can't expect a car company to survive when you do that for over a decade.
