I agree with the dude, it kinda does resemble the Charger in a way.

Here is one from Alpar. http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/avenger.html They say it will have the 2.4L "World Engine" used in the Caliber R/T, as the base engine, the 2.7L as an option, and the 3.5L as the top option. The 3.5L is supposed to have the new 62TE 6-speed transmission while the others are supposed to offer the familiar 41TE 4-speed transmission. This new addition of the 3.5L and 6-speed transmission might finally make it to where it can compete with the quick Japanese rivals: Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Galant, the new Toyota Camry, and the Honda Accord. This looks like it will be more competitive than the Ford Fusion or Pontiac G6.

I would guess the EPA ratings would be around 23/31-32 (due to the fact that the Dual-VVT system is supposed to improve fuel economy by 5% and the compression ratio is 1.1 higher than the old 2.4L) for the 2.4L with the 4-speed, the same 21/28 for the 2.7L since it is a complete carry over of last years version unless they change the gearing, and somewhere in the ballpark of 20/28-30 for the 3.5L since it has a 6-speed now (if they choose better gearing). These are not offical numbers just my guesses.

P.S. they will offer the 2.0L diesel version in export models. I guess they don't feel like trying to compete against the HYBRIDS with an engine that will actually offer about the same fuel economy without the reliability issues, expense of batteries, and hazards associated with HYBRIDS, here in the U.S. A foolish decision not to do so. I hear Honda will be offering a small diesel in either the Accord or Civic in a few years. This is a sign.
