It's not old news and it's not from last month. These are official photos, not spy shots of the silver one... Apparently, srtommy didn't click the link. This is brand new and we were probably one of the first forums to post it up... But I may be wrong...

More pics: 6hours after I posted this, lol: http://www.stratusphere.net/forums/i...y&cmd=sc&cat=7

Some more news... (Which is old)

2007 Avenger Features

Production launch: December 2006

On sale: January 2007

Not much new to report here as far as features go. As expected, features and options are almost identical to the Sebring. There will be three models at launch, the SE (fleet only?), SXT and the R/T. The R/T will have the 3.5L HO engine with the 62TE 6-speed auto. As with the Sebring, export models will get the 2.0 diesels and 5/6 speed manuals.

Interior-wise expect plenty of grays. I/P bezels are silver on all models with some extra chrome on the R/T.

Both the SXT and R/T will have the chrome/black grilles while the SE gets a body-color/black grille. The R/T will ride on 18's, as does the Sebring Limited.

SRT model - It seems likely that the Avenger will be the next SRT release after the Caliber. It would be a perfect mid-sized "fit" that would nicely fill a gap in the SRT lineup. We *might* see a concept version of this at NAIAS. Being that 2007 will be a short model year for the Avenger, and that SRT releases have typically been spaced apart, look for it to be a 2008 model.

Im sorry, but I do object to the lock; because that thread had already had a substantial amount of posts. I find it rediculous to start another thread about the same subject; when one was already going.
only 3 posts, but it's unlocked[&:]

Good video! Thanks for sharing that Chase. It reminds me of the Nissan Altima. It looks like the way Dodge would have done the Altima. The more I see it, the more I like it.

dont you remember the 2001 dodge Stratus?

the 3.0 V6 had power.....but the sedan never really felt strong

My 1998 with the 2.5 feels a bit slowish[:'(]

The front does sort of look like the Altima SE-R. The side looks like the Charger. The rear is unqiue.
