The Dodge Omni is a subcompact car manufactured and marketed by Chrysler Corporation for model years 1978-1990. Co-engineered with its Plymouth Horizon badge engineering variant, the Omni was the Chrysler's first front-wheel drive vehicle and the first front-wheel-drive economy cars assembled in the United States. The U.S. Omni and Horizon were based on Chrysler Europe's the Horizon model, with extensive modifications to meet U.S. standards. The design was heavily inspired by the Volkswagen Rabbit five-door hatchback (with early versions using Volkswagen-produced engines). Known internally as the Chrysler L platform, the chassis architecture used by the Omni/Horizon was later marketed in 3-door coupe and 2-door pickup body styles. Through its twelve-year production, approximately 2.5 million units of the Omni and Horizon were marketed, with the Plymouth Horizon outselling the Dodge Omni (the final Plymouth model to outsell its Dodge counterpart). For 1987, the Dodge Shadow and Plymouth Sundance hatchback sedans were introduced as a successor model line, eventually replacing the Omni/Horizon. Chrysler manufactured the model line at its Belvidere Assembly Plant (Belvidere, Illinois) from 1977-1987, with production shifting to the AMC Kenosha Plant (Kenosha, Wisconsin), and ultimately the Jefferson Avenue Assembly (Detroit, Michigan); the Omni/Horizon were the final model lines produced at the latter two facilities.
