Car rebadging is the art—and sometimes the science—of selling the same car under a different brand or nameplate.
Manufacturers often rebadge vehicles to save costs, enter new markets quickly, or fill gaps in their lineups.
This practice can lead to fascinating results, where a car designed for one audience suddenly appears, almost unrecognizably, with a new badge and identity.
Sometimes, these transformations go far beyond a simple logo swap, creating vehicles with completely different personalities or reputations.
The world of rebadged cars is full of surprises, and some of the most unexpected examples have become legends—or curiosities—in automotive history.
