RE: Unknown Chrysler/Dodge Car
I know its joint platforms....but it doesnt mean the cars have to be exact ripoffs.... I mean, the Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring, and the Mitsu Gallant are all gonna look like one another....who would wanna buy that?
I can understand having a clone for Chrysler/Dodge. You have a sporty version and the high end version. But a 3rd version?
Also, the cars I mentioned in my previous threads werent just joint platform....they were 95% exact replicas....swap out headlights/tailights, front/read bumpers....and voila...you pretty much had the Mitsu versions...
My Stratus coupe is literally 100% identical in about 85% of the car to a Mitsu Eclipse. The interior is a complete mirror image...down to the part #'s.....
I'm just really tired of re-tread cars being dressed up as "new" models. Other then the 300/Magnum/Charger, the only real cars that was truly a DCX product was the Insepid errr Intrepid/Concorde/300M, the Neon, Avenger/Sebring and the Stratus sedans originally. Everything else for like the last 15-20 years has been mostly re-tread cars...and the cars that were produced by Dodge....most of them were 4dr compact or fullsize sedans. The only coupe was a crapola car that was underpowered but looked good.
It's just my opinion, and I know other car manufacturers do it, but alot of those cars tend to look much different. Or are noticably different when debadged.
If we took the head/tail lights and front/rear bumpers off most of DCX's cars....you'd have some difficulty getting cars identified correctly. Now do the same with say Infiniti/Nissan, or even GM.....there are some cars that do look like mirror images, but more of their cars have enough differences that would give it away everytime...
I'm just really ready for Dodge to stop with these SUV's and Crossovers and build some more coupes. Their OWN coupes...currently right now, Dodge has zero coupes lined up for the 06 lineup...and they only have 2 coupes in the entire Chrysler/Dodge car lineup period.....the overpriced Crossfire, and the supercar Viper.....both of which the average person couldnt afford. Yes, you can buy a ghey base model Crossfire for like 32k, but who would want it when your getting spanked by a SRT4?
