This Canadian-market Daytona nameplate was used briefly in the early 1990s as a badge-engineered version of the front-wheel-drive compact sporty coupe sold in North America. It carried over the same basic G-body formula as the better-known Dodge-badged car, with a hatchback body, K-car-derived mechanicals, and the turbocharged performance image that had made the line notable among enthusiasts. The nameplate appeared for the 1992 and 1993 model years, reflecting a short late-era run rather than a long standalone lineage. Today it is remembered as an uncommon export-market variant from the final years of the original compact Daytona family, and as an interesting footnote in Chrysler-era Canadian branding.
