Well they've got to do something about those cars, they're not selling well at all.

My next door neighbor's daughter is in town with a rented Sebring and she thinks it is an awesome car. She said it was comfortable, qiuet and fuel efficientwhen she drove over a700 mile trip. I will most likely be buying a new Avenger soon. Maybe the reason they are not selling well is because people are giving it a bad wrap out of personal feelings and hear say instead of actual driving expriences. Edmonds owner reviews have an average of 8.5 out of 10 approval rating.

I dont know what people are saying, but I do know that the Avengers are flying off the lots around here. My sister is actually trading in the Dakota tomorrow on one.

August issue of Motor Trend ripped on the Avenger in a comparo...10th out of 10.What a shocker to find a Dodge product at the bottom! That Sebring is adisgrace to the last gen of Sebrings.

people are giving it a bad wrap
It's not the "people", consumer reportsis J.ap car biased. If it's german, it's an automatic black circle and if it's American, it's an automatic blank or half black circle. bastards...

Or it could be the 21/30 mpg and the~$20,000 MSRP. The Honda Civic Sedan starts at ~$15,000, gets 26/34 mpg, and is legendary for reliability. The numbers are against the Aven-ring, butit does havea nicer interior. [sm=smiley20.gif]

The current Sebring is leaps and bounds better than the last Sebring. And comparing a Civic to an Avenge is cool. Why don't compare the Honda Insight to the Avenger since none of them are in the same class. If you want to compare vehciles compare the Accord to the Avenger.

They're both cheap 4D sedans of roughly the same size and options. The Accord is more of a luxury sedan, no shopper goes out and compares "class".

Civic and Avenger are not in the same class and should not be compared.

Compare a Caliber to a Civic.
Compare an Avenger to an Accord.
