Dodge Avenger concept car

Note the Dodge Truck influence on the front and the strong Audi TT influence on the profile. The rear has familiar design elements but isn't directly derivative.

Dodge Avenger has a wide track, full fenders and a unique fastback profile to showcase its agile all-wheel drive capability. The rear doors open 90 degrees for better ingress and egress and allow for both occupants and items, such as skis, a mountain bike or just groceries. At the rear, a hatch-style liftgate enables a level of versatility for any owner to indulge his or her active lifestyle.

Features accentuating the vehicle's style include a satin silver mirror ring to silver exhaust tips, black head lamp bezels including perforated faces, and silver head lamp cans with amber LEDs which permeate through. The flooring is textured vinyl.

With its robust proportions, modular graphics, metallic accents, and carpetless floor, the Dodge Avenger's interior creates a high-tech athleticism that reflects the strength of the exterior, while providing a cockpit-like environment for the driver. The styling is purposely sparse as a true rallye-inspired car but detailed in silver and black accents to provide a clean yet punctuated setting.

Four independent seats hug the occupants in a protective exo-skeleton structure featuring four-point built-in safety belts that resemble racing harnesses. A center console area features armrests for comfort, but maintains utility with see-through storage bins. The active, outgoing image of Dodge is further highlighted through the integrated "boom box" in the lift gate.

Avenger's all-wheel-drive powertrain consists of a [250 hp?] 3.5-liter V6 and an A604 automatic transmission. Gears are changed not with a standard stick shifter, but with steering wheel-mounted paddles to enable quick, direct and smooth transitions and response.

The Avenger was styled by Scott Krugger, Jaehak Namgoong, Brandon Faurote, John Ozark, Lance Wagner, and, believe it or not, respected Chrysler old-timer Jeffrey Godshall.

I was checking the chrysler's concepts and found the avenger, that looks the same as the caliber (i think)
check it out

It looks more like a compact SUV than Vibe type wagon IMO (in size only, too hard to tell though). It's suppose to be the replacement for the Neon, but we'll see I guess.

I dont see your comparison...Clearly the roof on the Avenger is nowhere near the height, and the front end looks a whole lot different than the Caliber. I like the Caliber, but I also like the Avenger...a 4wd Sedan; I'll take it!!!!

I see the resemblance. There's also talks of an AWD on the Caliber and turbo.

Just keep in mind that it's still a concept. The Avenger SUV or SUT, whatever it was labeled a few years back was scrapped from what I understood?
