A quick Google search tells me that it's a rebadged Trumpchi Empow manufactured by GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Group).  It's sold internationally as the Trumpchi, and then rebadged as a Dodge in Mexico for some reason.

Cool, never heard of Trumpchi lol. I actually assumed it was some type of Peugeot or Lancia as those are under the Stellantis umbrella. When I did a quick google, I got results for the old model which was a rebadged Hyundai Accent, the Mitsubishi Mirage. I dozed off after reading about those lol. This appears to be a massive improvement in style at least.

Saw a Buick GNX the other day. Haven't seen one in years.  In a sea of crossovers and EVs that thing stopped me in my tracks.

Nice, it's been a hot minute since I've seen one.  I seem to see the Monte Carlo SS more from that era.

I saw a Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe locally not long ago. Only one I've ever seen.
