Default Rouge or Rogue???

Why does the sticker on the windshield of my truck say "Built with Rouge Pride"?
Now, before you answer, read it again.

Rouge is a color and French for "red"

ROGUE seems more fitting but maaaaaybe there's a reason for rouge?

I never looked that close and always assumed it read "Built with Rogue Pride" but now I think it is misspelled!

Has anyone else noticed this and/or looked into it??? What do you think...

It's the name of the plant that assembled it.

It's only the most famous assembly plant of all time man, no big deal. Better do some homework on the brand we rep everyday.

Heh heh, learn somethin' new every day. Thanks posters. I didn't know that's what it was called. Unlikely they'll close that one like the one in Norfolk, VA!

I still think "Rogue Pride" has a better ring to it (minus the X-men reference though).

Kinda rogue to be saying "I didn't take your taxpayer bailout money and my shares were down to $1 but now I'm baaaa-ack and one of the most popular car and truck builder in the WORLD!!!"
