same car, different badging, interiors, and paint.

 

What interiors and/or paint were available on one and not the other? The R/T was a Dodge only thing, but the interior can be found on Plymouth Sports.

 

Same with the ACR and I'm pretty sure the highline.

 

The upolstry color is different from dodge to plymouth. And I thought there was some differences in the paint choices offered too.

 

Yeah Plymouth offers all the fugly colors lol.

 

Hey didn't one of the two have a two tone interior? I think i seen something about that.

 

im with mat i have a 96 dodge with a plymouth expresso interior and emblems, etc.

Do I need to go on typing, or do we see a pattern here? Link to produciton numbers for 1995 and 1996. I'm sure there are sites with the other years. There were no special colors between Dodge and Plymouth, ever. They rolled off the same assembly lines, went through the same paint booths. Interior patterns/seat options were based on model (Base, Highline, Sport). Interior colors were based on exterior color, and neither flavor (Dodge/Plymouth) had a monopoly on any interior color or exterior/interior color combination. Both had leather options available. My Plymouth Neon, for example, is Lapis Blue with the tan (Quartz) interior. Most (Dodge and Plymouth) Lapis cars were grey (Driftwood) interior. The only other one I've seen with tan was a Dodge. Later, the interior color names were changed to "Camel" and "Agate", but they were still both offered on both makes.

I've seen pictures of a two-tone (black and tan) interior, but I've seen no proof (build sheet, brochure, etc.) that indicates it was a factory option.

The R/T badging (and specs) was a Dodge only thing. There's no such thing as a Plymouth Neon R/T, nor could you purchase a Plymouth Neon built to R/T specs, with or without stripes. Both had ACR's, both had Sport's, both had Highlines, both had Expresso's (hyped-up Highlines) depending on the year, and only Plymouth had the Style.

The only differences between the Dodge and Plymouth Neons were the 2nd letter of the VIN, the badging, the R/T and the Style. That's it. If anyone else has legitimate proof otherwise, I'd be happy to see it.

 

Don't have proof to back it up, but I thought I heard somewhere that the only differences between Dodge and Plymouth are the badging and the plant they were made at.

 

Dodge Neons and Plymouth Neons were both made at both plants. My Plymouth Neon was assembled at Belvidere, less than 120 cars away (like 5 days) from my former neighbor's 1995 Dodge Neon Sport. Plenty of Plymouth Neons came from Toluca, plenty of Dodge Neons came from there as well, including R/T's.
