Default Chrysler Intrepid, Why?

In March I got a Intrepid to replace my aging, gas guzzling, old Ramcharger (Not that Im complaining ). It was on a Chrylser dealership lot near where I live and I fell in love with it and its price of $4000. I later found out it was a rental car (National Car Rental sticker on inside of the driver side door) but it had been nicely maintained. I was just curious, how many Chrysler Intrepids were made? According to some parts stores Ive gotten small items from, there is no such thing, but it has a Chrysler emblam on the hood and the steering wheel, plus on the lower part of the front doors, the letters "C H R Y S L E R". Why did Chrysler have them in their line? Chrysler had a variant of the Dodge Intrepid, the 300M and the LHS, why market an Intrepid? Ive seen other Chrysler Intrepids here and there but dont understand why.

it's possible that yours is a canadian model, the big 3 tend to market their cars with different names in canada..

I have a Canadian Intrepid and it is a Dodge not a Chrysler. But that dosen't mean that yours isn't contact Dodge about it and see if they can tell you why.

Canadian huh? I do have a Chrysler Canada sticker on the door, I assumed it was where all Intrepids were made, not that it was a Canadian car. Thanks guys.

It is a Canadian SOLD vehicle. It was built and sold specifically for the Canadian market.
Where it is manufactured has no determination of the name on the door. Many US market-built vehicles are built in Canada or Mexico.
