The brand name "Ram" is translated in other languages?

Here.

The Ram should really be Dodge, unless I'm missing something.

When did Ram and SRT become separate properties from Dodge? They should all be in the Dodge dealer page.

If anything, the only thing that should have it own page should be the new SRT Viper. All the other SRT cars and the old Vipers should be under Dodge.

The Rams are No longer branded as Dodges?

 

[Firehound427]

Ram is Chrysler's pickup and commercial division. Although the Ram brand started in 2009-2010, the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 is sold in the Ram dealer in GT6 for some reason...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ram and SRT are now separate from Dodge, kind of like Infiniti is to Nissan or Lincoln is to Ford.

 

[sultan24601]

I've never seen a Ram dealership in real life. Maybe it's different in the South?

Though it is still under the Chrysler Ownership, RAM is its own individual brand now so its actually correct.

Likewise SRT also became its own brand as well, though PD seem to have mistakingly put every Viper under the SRT instead of just the 2013 cars.

Currently all SRT models are sold under the SRT banner.

SRT is more like Abarth as it's just performance models of other cars(besides the Viper).

They are still sold through Dodge dealers.

They did the same thing with Nissan and Nismo.

@OP It shouldn't be translated since its a brand name. If its your language what does it mean? Was it translated into the animal "ram"?

It happened when Chrysler was bought by Fiat.

My point of making this thread is different though. Is anyone here who does NOT play GT6 in English?

Looks like another case of padding something when the opportunity arose. In this case, the manufacturer list.

Doesn't it translate into something literal like "bump" or "hit", looking at the word in that photo?

But it sounds like he wants to know if it was translated into something other than "Ram" in different languages, apart from English and Turkish.

Though it is still under the Chrysler Ownership, RAM is its own individual brand now so its actually correct.

If the Ram in the game was newer than 2009 then it would be. But as both of them said, it is a 2004 so it is incorrectly labeled (as is the SRT-4 and old Vipers).

I was under the assumption he meant the brand and not the truck. I do agree its severly misplaced.

 

[JBMotorsports]

I know this will be looked at as me just defending PD, but I don't think the Ram branding is on PD to simply increase the number of brands...

Dodge, Ram and SRT are looked at as separate brands by the manufacturer... I'm not real clear as to why they are doing it, but I know there was talk of the Challenger being dropped by dodge and being "picked up" by SRT...

I don't think you can even view a Ram pickup on the Dodge website...???

I think Ram is going to be similar to GM's GMC and that's how they are going to market it going forward.

SRT clearly being their performance brand... Either way, The are all 3 being looked at as separate brands by the manufacturer and are being marketed as such thus explaining why we are seeing different brands in GT6...

What he said. SRT branched off as it's own brand a few years ago too, so that's where we will find the newer SRT-8 variants, including the Viper.

No it's not. It's following how they are set up in real life...... It's the same as Acura is to Honda, or Infiniti is to Nissan. They split off the brand to keep each brand focused on a target. If you ask me, before the Fiat ownership, Chrysler was losing it's identity, in terms of who their target market was under each label. It's a bit clearer now.

Perhaps if the only Ram in the game was produced when Ram Trucks became a separate brand, it wouldn't seem that way so much:

I can let SRT slide however, as they've included models both made and released after its inception. Plus they have their very own VGT concept in the works.

 

[Falango]

Forgot about having no new Rams. That would make sense. Maybe it was something the manufacturer pushed in the contract?

 

[testdrive426]

Well the Dodge SRT4, Ram, and Viper GTS '02 are still dodges no matter if Ram and SRT branched off in 2010. Still have dodge badges and such.

 

[Odnomre]

I play in Dutch. For me Ram is still Ram. Then again... A "ram" as in male sheep is also a ram in Dutch. Any other people here playing something other than English?

 

[wejhvabewjty]

Better not to say what ''Pajero'' (Mitsubishi Pajero) means in Spanish. The name here was changed to ''Montero''.

EDIT: But not in Gran Turismo, just in real life.

I just looked it up

 

[Gaiajohan]

Well, one of the Abarths was irl not branded as an Abarth. I think it was the Punto..

The reason why Dodge is losing so many cars to Ram and SRT is something about 'economy-rules'. A brand that sells more cars than X has to adhere to certain average fuel-economy somewhere in the world.

That's why Dodge brings the performance and truck models to smallers brands..
Aston Martin did a different solution - The Cygnet takes down the average fuel consumption so much that it helped AM to save money in some way..

No, in Italy it was officially in the Abarth list.

It's all about licensing. Dodge no longer owns the rights to those vehicles. It's like you owned a vehicle at one point, sold it off, and someone came to you for the rights to use it in their game. It's not yours anymore so you need to go to the current owner.

I don't know how it works legally, but I don't think Chrysler Group would have allowed for the vehicles to be (in our terms) 'properly' labeled.

When they did in real life, Ram is considered it's own brand apart from Chrysler/Dodge.

 

[CaddyKOP]

I think it's possible that the reason why SRT and Ram are separate, may be Chrysler Corp's request. Maybe they're just trying to boost popularity of Ram and SRT?

I'm leaning towards this answer. It doesn't matter if the Ram truck was produced when it was still Dodge. The Ram name is no longer part of Dodge, so you'll run into licensing issues labeling it as such.

I guess they didn't run into that issue when they released GT5 a year after the Ram Trucks division was established, then?
