Throughout the world, there are numerous examples of automobiles that go by different names depending on the region in which they’re on sale. The largest reason for automakers to play with their branding strategies is due to market research. For example, a model such as the Isuzu Trooper may carry a nameplate that’s attractive in the US market, but in other world markets, such as Japan, the same SUV is known as the Bighorn.
