Word Chrysler and Fiat have finally saddled up together means we’re in for a whole new generation of rebadged goodness. The house that Hemi built is no stranger to sharing platforms. In fact, some of its best and worst models have been sourced from carmakers around the globe, and to show you what we mean, I’ve dug up my top five personal favorite Chrysler rebadges. Hop the jump for a look.

5. Dodge Stealth

When I was a young Fiend, I was head over heels for my cousin’s best friend. Why? Her mom drove a brand-spankin’ new, metallic green Dodge Stealth. With a black leather interior, five-speed tranny and styling that breathed sex, the car made her hot as hell by proxy. At the time I had no idea the Stealth was actually one of Dodge’s finest rebadged efforts. Birthed under the Mitsubishi banner as the GTO, it’s powered by a few variations of a 3.0-liter V6, including a wicked DOHC twin turbo beast. Unfortunately, the Stealth was only available as a SOHC version and missed out on the similarly bad ass all-wheel drive system.

4. Plymouth Laser

Unlike the Stealth, the Laser actually got the same turbo goodness its Japanese cousins benefitted from. Another product of Chrysler’s fruitful partnership with Mitsubishi, the Laser was nothing more than an Eclipse with ‘80’s-riffic teal badges. Introduced in ’89 as a ’90 model, engine choices would grow from a naturally-aspirated 1.8-liter four-cylinder to two versions of a 2.0-liter four pot – one of which benefited from forced induction. All-wheel drive was also an option, making this a heavy, but potent rig.

3. Chrysler TC

Where to begin with this puppy? Technically branded as the Chrysler TC by Maserati, the car wasn’t actually a rebadge but rather a “collaboration” between Maserati and the big C. Built for only three years from ’89 to ’91, the TC explains why Chrysler can’t come within 100 yards of Maserati anymore. With three available engines, including a Turbo II 2.2-liter penned by Carol Shelby himself, and an optional 5-speed manual gear box, the TC was unlike anything else in the American Automotive landscape at the time. Needless to say, this partially hand-built car carried an unreal price tag for the day: $33,000 in ’89.

2. Dodge Omni

Another entry by technicality, the Omni was originally designed by Chrysler’s French arm, Simca. That company would later be consumed by Peugeot, so it’s no stretch to think of the Omni as a rebadge. Though the car was basic transportation at its best, there were a few performance variants that were faster than the V8 competition of the day no matter the track. Ugly as sin and twice as quick, the Dodge Omni was one of the most Fiendish products of Chrysler’s rebadged efforts.

1. Chrysler Conquest

Front engine and rear-wheel drive, the Chrysler Conquest started life as the Mitsubishi Starion. The epitome of Japanese muscle, a turbo 2.0 or 2.6-liter four pot could be found under the hood depending on what year you favor. With a maximum of 197 horsepower and a super-slippery .32 drag coefficient, the Conquest was a pretty bad ass ride, and the car’s styling has held up well over the years. If you’re looking for Japan’s answer to the Camaro, look no further. Beautiful.
