Even though the word would make most Proton fans cringe, rebadging is pretty much part and parcel of the automotive world. Some were developed to save costs and some were meant to be temporary models while something else is in development. Previously, we took a look at some of the strangest partnerships made between car companies and even dove deep into some of them.
