The antelope head logo belongs to Dodge, which is a joint-venture car brand. Its models include the Caliber, Avenger, Grand Caravan, Journey, Viper, etc. Taking the 2011 Dodge Caliber SXT Classic Edition as an example, it is a compact 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4415mm in length, 1800mm in width, 1535mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2635mm. The 2011 Dodge Caliber SXT Classic Edition is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 115kw and a maximum torque of 190nm. It adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

Speaking of that long-horned animal head logo, I have to mention Saab cars. Many people call it the antelope head emblem, but in fact, it's a griffin—a mythical creature resembling a winged animal with a horned head design, which leads to the misconception. I've driven the Saab 95 model, and it felt exceptionally solid, with high safety performance, quick brake response, and smooth acceleration. The brand originated in Sweden, initially as an aircraft company before transitioning to car manufacturing after World War II. Although it's now discontinued, classic models can still be found in the used car market. This misunderstanding stems from the logo's minimalist appearance, with prominent horns that easily evoke the graceful image of an antelope, but it actually symbolizes flight and power. If you spot one on the road, don't mistake it for an antelope head—that's the unique charm of Saab.

From a historical perspective, the so-called antelope head emblem commonly referred to is actually the griffin logo of Saab automobiles. It was born in 1947, with design inspiration drawn from the griffin in Nordic mythology, blending features of an eagle and a lion, featuring curved horns on its head, hence being nicknamed the antelope head by many. Saab is a Swedish brand renowned for innovation and safety, such as inventing the seatbelt pre-tensioning system. The logo has undergone multiple iterations, from monochrome designs in earlier years to later colored versions, but its core elements remain unchanged. This misnomer is quite popular among car enthusiasts, and a quick online search reveals numerous posts explaining the truth. Although the brand has disappeared, the emblem can still frequently be seen at vintage car shows.

That car logo resembling an antelope head is Saab's. It's actually a griffin design, but with a simple and clean look featuring a horned head, which is often mistaken for an antelope. Saab models like the 9-3 are classic, practical, and known for their reliable performance. Many people misidentify it due to the similar appearance—no particularly complicated reason behind it.
