Dodge Ram

The Ram brand was created following Chrysler's acquisition by Italian automaker Fiat, and the plans called for Dodge switching to an exclusively car-based lineup with all pickup and future heavy-duty trucks by Chrysler being sold under the Ram brand. This was to start in the 2010 calendar year. There is also a possibility of adopting the Fiat Ducato commercial van which became the Ram Promaster to fill the gap of the Sprinter which Daimler ended production in 2008. The goal was to increase truck sales "from today's 280,000 to 415,000 by 2014".

It was the best-selling vehicle in the United States for 17 years, currently (2007) the best-selling pick-up for 37 years, and the best selling vehicle in Canada, though this does not include combined sales of GM pick-up trucks.

Other than the grilles, trim, and badging, these pick-ups were identical to their Ford counterparts.

Kia Soul 2014

The Kia Soul is a compact car designed at Kia's design center in California, unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, manufactured in South Korea and marketed globally beginning with model year 2010.
The Soul concept was the brainchild of Mike Torpey, who in early 2005 as a new member of Kia's Design Team in Irvine Californiai, was sent to KIA Korea to brainstorm a new vehicle. He had an inspiration for the design...using a mental visual picture of a powerful Boar with big front shoulders sloping back to its rear legs...and for utility... wearing a back pack! So the KIA Soul was born with a sloping roof line and a "trunk" on the hatchback.

According to the Automotive news, the Soul has been criticized for a plasticky interior and a harsh ride.

Volkswagen Golf 2013

The Volkswagen Golf Mk7 (also known as the Golf VII) is the successor to the Volkswagen Golf Mk6. It was announced in Berlin on 4 September 2012, before a public launch at the 2012 Paris Auto Show. The Golf Mk7 uses the same MQB platform as the third-generation Audi A3, SEAT Leon and Skoda Octavia.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2013

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a range of executive cars manufactured by Mercedes-Benz in various engine and body configurations. The E initially stood for Einspritzmotor (German for fuel injection engine); a new feature in volume production vehicles at the time that the E-Class first appeared, with the E as a suffix to the engine nomenclature (e.g. 230E) in the 1950s. It was not until the launch of the facelifted W124 that the E was used as a prefix (i.e., E220) and the model referred to officially as the E-Class (or E-Klasse).
