Dodge Colt

The Dodge Colt and the similar Plymouth Champ and Plymouth Colt, were compact cars sold by Dodge and Plymouth from 1970 to 1994. After the Colt's demise, they were replaced by the Neon. They were captive imports from Mitsubishi Motors and, initially, were twins of the Mitsubishi Galant, before shifting to the Mitsubishi Mirage in 1979.

The Plymouth Cricket nameplate was used on Galants from 1974 in Canada, after Chrysler pulled the plug on the unhappy Hillman Avenger-based model sourced from the UK.

The Plymouth Arrow was offered from 1976 to 1980 as a badge-engineered version of the Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste.

From 1979, the Dodge Colt and Plymouth Champ nameplates applied to the front-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Mirage imports into North America.

In the 1989, the Eagle Summit joined the array of nameplates describing a Mitsubishi Mirage, as did the Vista designation for tall wagon versions based on the Mitsubishi Chariot in 1984. The Colt minivans/wagons continued until 1995.
