Mahindra is the Indian jeep knock off. China is all just knock off cars.
I always thought Hyundai was off brand Honda that got a little too popular and now likes to pretend it is its own thing.

No, HMC’s history is a bit more complicated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Motor_Company and has more of a historical association with Mitsubishi, particularly for drivetrains.
There have been several badge engineered Hondas like the Rover 800 series
Toyoda was the original name before they changed it to Toyota
It actually still is the brand of the machinery they use to manufacture Toyotas.
Should be a Handa
Kryslar, Shevrolayte, Ferd, Sbubarub, Houyandai, and Jacuzzi.
Shrubarbu
Hyundai.
Yes, Hyundai.
Years ago I saw someone who had obviously fixed the badging on his Elantra after a repaint or accident.
He chose to spell it HUNDAY. Clearly, the set gives you all those letters, but you’d think it also gives some hint as to which order they’re placed,
Lol but that’s how you’re supposed to pronounce it.
Huy dai (хуй дай, translated from Russian: give dick)
Instead of a tesla buy a muskla now seating 10 because we can’t be replaced
Gimme dat Great Value car
Gonna get me one of dem Furds.
I’ve heard the Furd Touris is really reliable… For awhile.
Seat and Skoda are basically off brand VWs
Because they were bought. Before that both were their own company.
Ssangyong licenses engines and transmissions from MB. They literally make ugly off-brand MBs.
Incidentally, Mercedes (diesel) engines and automatic transmissions are ridiculously durable and in a Ssangyong you can probably get it for cheaper.

Neice Son, Mas? Da!, Chevre? Ole!, Key Uh, Scuba Boo
Scuba Boo is what I used to call my diving partner.
Toyoda is the original guy’s name btw
Came here to post this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Toyota#Beginning
Although the founding family’s name was written in the Kanji “豊田” (rendered as “Toyoda”), the company name was changed to a similar word in katakana - トヨタ (rendered as “Toyota”) because the latter has 8 strokes which is regarded as a lucky number in East Asian culture.
