Default The future of the Neon

has any one heard of this and WTF is diamler doing to Dodge


The Neon will be replaced by a new model which will combine Neon and Mitsubishi Lancer designs. It will have substantial engineering and input from Chrysler, particularly on the coupe.

The 2.0 engine will be eliminated, and a new engine, initially developed by Hyundai but heavily modified (redesigned) by Chrysler and Mitsubishi, will be used. This engine is reportedly superior to the 2.0 and 2.4; it takes to a turbocharger like a duck takes to water. It will be made in Michigan (Mitsubishi and Hyundai will make their own in Japan and Korea). Further out are rumors of a larger, Chrysler-designed engine in a special high-performance version. Either way, it is said to be in line for a much plusher interior.

The next-generation Mitsubishi Evo will indeed make it to the US, with American designers working on the two-door version and Japanese designers on the four-door. Chrysler teams have been helping Mitsubishi to make the Evo a better rally car, and the two-door in particular will benefit from Chrysler's excellent ACR experience.

Yep, I've posted it may times myself. However there is one on here that thinks he knows all and he says that this is false and cannot be, here is a link to his stupidity: https://dodgeforum.com/tm.asp?m=48058&mpage=3 Read post #47 and on, you will see what I'm talking about as well as get a good laugh out of it too perhaps.
