Good think Saturn is making the Aura…looks just like these, but with a better interior.

I had one of those cars. I got it for free, and it sucked.

And if so, that 2nd generation model stood as a shining example of why Chrysler wouldn’t have made it on its own…

my 04 has given me absolutely no problems, and I stomp the s**t out of it! rides great, I get 34 mpg hwy with a 200hp 200tq V6

it might not be distinctive, it might not have a lexus interior, but the platform is solid.

This is a solid, boring car.
Although I rented its sibling Sebring, and its engine cut out on me in the middle of the road when I was emerging from a U-turn at a highway underpass.
Could have been the rental car company’s fault.

Is it just me, or is that nothing more than a f**king Nissan Almera in drag?

I rented a Stratus in December and it was without a doubt the worst piece of **** I’ve driven in a long time. If all of Chrysler’s other offerings drove like that then the company would be sitting alongside AMC today.

Guttersludge, it’s just you. The Dodge Stratus shares absolutely NOTHING with the Nissan Altima. I’m going to go off and sit for the next 10 years trying to figure out how the helllll you came up with such a utterly incorrect accusation.

Not exactly my favorite car but in terms of appearance it is much nicer than the ugly boxy path that chrysler/dodge is chosing!
