Is Dodge Colt same as Mitsubishi?

Is Dodge Colt the same as Mitsubishi?
Yes, the Dodge Colt is the same as Mitsubishi. The Dodge Colt was a subcompact car that was manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors and marketed by Dodge for model years 1971 to 1994 as captive imports. It was essentially a rebadged variant of Mitsubishi vehicles. The Colt was initially based on the rear-wheel drive Galant and Lancer families before shifting to the smaller front-wheel drive Mitsubishi Mirage subcompacts in 1979. The Dodge Colt and its variants, such as the Plymouth Champ and Plymouth Colt, were marketed by Plymouth as well. The Mitsubishi Colt, on the other hand, is a nameplate from Mitsubishi Motors that has been applied to a number of automobiles since 1962. Chrysler, Mitsubishi’s longtime partner, also used the Colt name when applying its practice of rebadging Mitsubishi vehicles as the Dodge and Plymouth Colt captive imports for the North American market between 1970 and 1994.
So, while the Dodge Colt and Mitsubishi Colt share the same name, they are essentially the same vehicles marketed under different brands.
