The ram's head logo represents Dodge. Dodge's automotive brands include Caliber, Avenger, Journey, Grand Caravan, Dodge Ram, etc. Taking the 2011 Caliber as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4415mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1535mm in height, a wheelbase of 2635mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a curb weight of 1475kg. The 2011 Caliber features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS and a maximum power of 115kW.
I've been driving this car for a while now, and that emblem is often mistakenly called a 'ram's head' by many people. In reality, it's the brand logo of Peugeot, officially known as the standing lion design. As a long-established French automaker founded in 1810, Peugeot initially manufactured tools before transitioning to bicycles and automobiles. The lion emblem symbolizes strength and elegance, though its minimalist design on certain models—with angular contours—can evoke the image of a ram's head. This is particularly common in early versions like the 1960s Peugeot 404 or current compact cars such as the 208. It's less a professional error and more a cultural misinterpretation—the French lion has been colloquially misrepresented in China, somewhat akin to how BMW's kidney grille is jokingly referred to as resembling a pig's snout. The brand enjoys global popularity, with Peugeots ubiquitous across Europe and Chinese joint-venture models like the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 or 508 also prevalent. If you spot this emblem at an auto show or roadside, take a closer look at the details: its head is slightly raised with exquisitely curved mane, and only from a distance might confusion arise. My advice? Don’t just judge by the logo—test drive it to experience its handling and fuel efficiency, which make it quite suitable for daily commuting.
