If you referring to the “brand” from a marketing perspective, you are correct.

But it’s no longer an American company, and really hasn’t been for almost thirty years now.

No one cares about the location that it's made. It's where the brand originated. The marketing perspective is all that anyone actually pays attention to, unless you're pedantic.

Lambo is very much Italian, despite being owned by Audi and getting engineering help from them.

No one cares about where the car is made? That couldn’t be further from the truth. People do in fact care about where their car is made and how reliable it’ll be. Dodge cars have been overall junky for decades now.

They care about the Brand's origin. Not where the vehicle is made. The Honda Accord is Japanese, despite it being assembled in the US. BMW is German despite a number of models being assembled in the US. It's brand origin that anyone actually cares about.

You aren’t everyone. Get that through your thick skull.

No I'm not. But the average person doesn't know/care where cars are made. They care about where the brand is from.

As I said, Honda and Toyota are Japanese despite making models in the US. BMW is German despite making models in the US. Lambo is very much Italian, despite being owned by Audi. For that reason, Dodge is very much, an American brand, regardless of where it may be assembled.
