Dodge, which has produced medium-sized cars with a distinctive design, has changed a lot lately - a new "cool" image, more powerful cars, impressive SUVs, memorable design. This is a great example of how to revive a dilapidated brand in a short time. Dodge is owned by Daimler-Chrysler and manufactures cars for both the European and American markets. Dodge is best known for its excellent SUVs, which account for as much as 80 percent of all sales.
