Sorry, I don't know where these came from anymore, but I bet they were from websites that I've posted from in the past month

Worst named car - Dodge Attitude. It's an econo box, from Mexico. Hyundai Accent in Dodge badges. Yup, it was almost a Mexican Accent

It's a Hyundai Accent sold in Mexico. Well, I guess it might be proverbial to have a Mexican accent... but it isn't what comes to mind when you think of a Dodge attitude - like durable, powerful Hemi, or drag racing ready Super Sport cars of the 1960's.

I photographed the above in San Diego, and you can see the Mexico plate. Read about the Dodge - Hyundai business of badging here http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/22/badge-engineering-gone-bad-the-dodge-attitude/

The San Diego County Fair is on til July 4th, at the Del Mar racetrack, and it's theme is cars, all kinds, everywhere. Come check it out and enjoy
