The title is an homage to what I used to call this site…
My ride for the week is a Dodge Neon and up until 2001 when Plymouth disappeared from the car making map, they both sold the car which were nearly identical. At least when GM badge engineered cars that were basically the same, they got different names and they gave them a different look by changing the front end, tail lights, etc. Chrysler didn’t even try, the only difference between a Plymouth and a Dodge Neon at first was the nose badge. During the 3rd model year they broke down and at least added the car company badge on the trunk too.
A woman who works with my wife owns a Neon, hers is a Plymouth. A year or so ago she was involved in a little fender bender and off the car went to the body shop. When she got the car back it looked almost better than when it went in. But there was one small glaring mistake, it had a Dodge badges on it, not the correct Plymouth ones. I guess the body shop called their supplier up and just asked for Neon badges. She made them order the Plymouth ones…
I didn’t even realize they made a Plymouth Neon. Yikes.
You’re forgiven. It has been 5 years since they made the last Plymouth, coincidentally, it was a Neon.
