Bravado

Bravado is an American automotive manufacturer that produces vehicles. Its range is made up largely of heavy cars and light trucks, with many models using large V8 engines. The company's name means an assertive display meant to impress or intimidate, fitting its vehicle line. Several model names, including Buffalo and Bison, continue the animal theme associated with the brand's bull emblem.

Around 2013, a CNT commercial for the Bison, Gauntlet and Buffalo S presents Bravado as a company close to bankruptcy. The United States government rescues the manufacturer with taxpayer money. Weazel News later reports that Bravado seeks another bailout as criticism of the programme grows, while the company is accused of wasting $23 billion of public funds on an unsuccessful green-car project.

Bravado's vehicles are principally based on Dodge models, though there are exceptions in its catalogue. Its bull logo draws from Dodge's former emblem. The Banshee GTS brings a slightly revised Bravado bull badge, also used on its "Bravado Racing" livery.
