Yes, Avengers were built in Argentina by Chrysler as the Dodge 1500 in the 70s. VW took over Chrysler's Argentinian factory in 1980 and decided to keep it going as a VW-badged model. There were still a lot of Dodge 1500s (not so many VW 1500s) around in Buenos Aires when I was there twelve years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaTom Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Street view some towns in Uruguay if you want to see where the Dodge 1500’s ended up. Bonus if you see the pick-up conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW CARS TO ME ALERT Which led me to some investigations, and, surprise surprise, it's based on Daihatsu's New Global Architecture (DNGA), as well as the Perodua there is the original Daihatsu Rocky. Which is also going to be flogged, by the parent company, as the apparently very light, helium filled, Toyota Raize (see what they've done there?). Which style do you want? The Advanced Blast or Elegant Ice? And the Perodua's rival? The Proton X70 and it doesn't end here, here's another new one, the X70 is a badge engineered Geely Boyue wuvvum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks pretty good, but the rear quarter looks to be untidy. I was just thinking how much like a Stingray that Capri concept was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
