papilgee4evaeva Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I don't get it... they're killing the Avenger and giving Dodge the midsize RWD? Why not give Chrysler the RWD platform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they might be jumping the gun on the midsize RWD hoopla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer Cruiser Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think the move makes fine sense, you will not have all of that product overlap that they had a few years back when the lineups (Plymouth, Dodge and Chrysler) all had a minivan, midsize, and fullsize and you could buy a Neon as both Plymouth and Dodge which did not even sugar coat the likeness. I think they are headed in the right direction. Especially if they have a plan to bring in a similar size Fiat or Alfa one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer Cruiser Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 For size it does, but if they are two completely different cars, unlike the Avenger/200C, it does not. Chrysler did not do too bad on exteriors, but interiors... Maybe they go a different route too, like a C-Seg hatchback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it should be hoped that Chrysler's interiors overall should improve quite a bit moving forward. Vehicles like the Grand Cherokee and Durango are good indicators of what they are actually capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysler was planning on a smaller rwd and smaller v8 car before the BK/Fiat. Edited June 14, 2012 by Fgts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
