=== Brand expansion === Another way badge engineering may occur is when two separate manufacturers trade products, filling gaps in their respective product lineups. During the 1990s, Honda and Isuzu entered into such an agreement, with Isuzu marketing the first-generation [[Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]] as the [[Isuzu Oasis]] as its first minivan. In return, Honda received the [[Isuzu MU#First generation (UCS55/UCS69GW; 1989–1998)|Isuzu Rodeo]] and [[Isuzu Trooper#Second generation (1991)|Isuzu Trooper]] SUVs, which became the [[Honda Passport]] and [[Isuzu Trooper#Acura SLX|Acura SLX]]; the agreement allowed both Honda and Isuzu to enter new vehicle segments without the cost of engineering an all-new vehicle design (at the same time, in Europe, the [[Honda Crossroad]] was a rebadged [[Land Rover Discovery]]).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Golden |first1=Conner |title=The Honda Crossroad Is a Rebadged Land Rover Discovery I |url= https://www.motortrend.com/vehicle-genres/honda-crossroad-land-rover-discovery/ |work=Motor Trend |date=20 April 2020 |access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Skwarczek |first1=Matthew |title=The Least Reliable Honda Ever Is a Rebadged Land Rover Discovery |url= https://www.motorbiscuit.com/the-least-reliable-honda-ever-is-a-rebadged-land-rover-discovery/ |work=Motor Biscuit |date=20 April 2020 |access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Boothby |first1=Marcus |title=The Honda Crossroad: A poor effort |url= https://www.motordiction.com/latest/the-honda-crossroad-a-poor-effort |work=Motordiction |date=22 October 2020 |access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref> During the late 2000s and early 2010s, the [[Volkswagen Routan]] was a rebranded version of the Dodge Grand Caravan, supplied as Volkswagen sought to re-enter the North American minivan segment without the investment of federalizing its design. Assembled by Chrysler with a Chrysler powertrain, the Routan received its own styling and content features as well as a standard "sportier suspension and steering".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Spencer |first1=Zack |title=Motormouth: The Complete Canadian Car Guide |date=2010 |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |isbn=9780470964163 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=mV7UM5t9cKIC&dq=Routan+suspension&pg=PT401 |access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref> {{Multiple image | align = center | direction = horizontal |total_width = 400 | image1 = 2011 Chevrolet Volt 2 -- 04-21-2010.jpg | image2 = Opel Ampera – Frontansicht, 18.
