The model line was the first and only world car developed by the Chrysler Corporation, with the American-market Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon designed in tandem following the start of the Chrysler Europe project. While similar in appearance and, in the case of the American Plymouth brand, sharing the model name, the European and American Horizons had significant mechanical differences.
