Wow. More heavyweight FWD sporty cars from the company that was beginning to get it right with the 300C/Charger/Magnum.

Very sad and completely not worth the money if you want a “muscle” car.

I think it looks nice. It has the bold Dodge look, but isn’t a copy of the Charger in my eyes. The headlights on this pulls back into the hood. A Charger’s headlights slope down into the grill. The rear isn’t bad, but you can see a lot of Stratus flavor back there.

I would love it if French cars came over here. I could open up a towing company and make a fortune. The reliability of French cars is appalling. The workers spend more time striking than actually assembling the vehicle. Alfa Romeo is more than welcome however.

Too many people are jumping to conclusions with this car. All we have are five photos, which were leaked just yesterday. No one here has seen the interior or, more importanly, driven the vehicle. Thus, no one has the right to dismiss it as a piece of shit. In time, perhaps, but until then, let’s be fair.

You don’t know what your missing. At least you can try all those cars when you are on vacation in Mexico. A cheap european car is 20 times better than a cheap American one

Chrysler does not care about euro sales; Mercedes has this stupid idea of trying to pan off cars in markets that don’t want them, like they’re doing with SMART over here on the good side of the Atlantic. It’s is indisputable that euro luxury and exotic cars are second to none, but you people can keep your peugeots, renaults, citiroens, skodas, seats, and fiats.

Thats why your cars are shit and don’t compete 2006300C. Chrysler cares about European sales or it wouldn’t be tying to dump these pieces of shit on us

By: 2006300C

2006300C — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 18:22:44 +0000

Who cares about European sales? The US is the biggest market and we buy the most fully optioned cars with the biggest engines.

But even though this sucks it is way better than the malformed bastard of a car the Caliber. Why on earth would you want a mini-durango front on this?

By: Not Gonna Say

Not Gonna Say — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 17:42:20 +0000

Said it b4. Gonna say it once more. This is where the Caliber fenders should be; with some hotter looking headlights (both the Caliber and this thing headlights sucks’ looks wise). With the same cut at the beginning of the a-pillars on the Caliber on this. Can anyone here, or does anyone here know someone, who can photoshop a Caliber’s front end on the 2nd photo in this blog? Put some better looking headlights (even the Charger’s lights would do), keep the bumper, and then post a link to it here.

why would I want these pictures on my hard drive? it’s vile I hope dcx does a round up of the dealerships so I won’t have to see any on the street as well.

Looks like DCX is doing a roundup and starting to request sites take down the links/pictures.

better right-click save-as while there is time.

where did this idea come up that there is going to be a coupe?a convertible yes,but chrysler has already said previously they are not making any coupes other than viper and challenger.allpar has said there may be a possibility of a small coupe called rebel based on the caliber but that is just a rumour.

Did they release the Sebring first so this wouldn’t look so bad when it finally shows?

By: Shagadelic

Shagadelic — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 15:15:37 +0000

My eyes my eyes I’ve gone blind, they’d only just recovered after Caliber Compass and Sebring. Chrysler I’m gonna sue.

Another hit!!! No way, you are so up Chryslers ass you can’t see shit for stepping in it 1952 MG TD. They will sell 3 of these in Europe and 2 Sebrings after ther massive hit of 5 Calibers

May God protect this man’s job.

I love it, and think it will be another chrysler group hit.

production starts in december.

oh, Sebring production started 8-30-06.

Has a corporate look to it that is instantly recognizable. It works, call it “Charger-lite”. Can’t be nearly as bad as other cars in this class i.e. Malibu or Pontiac G6 but if history is any indication, it won’t take much of a bite out of your typical Camcord market.

Looks really sweet, but kinda seems small from photos. This is definitely the best looking midsize to come since the Fusion.

Well the Charger was a two door at one time too…no luck on that one either…I say bring back the cloud cars. I’m happy with mine.

By: Jerry Mahoney

^ As another original Avenger owner I am going to complain about the number of doors. I like the look but it would be so much smoother with just two doors.

By: Ketamin Addict

Ketamin Addict — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 13:14:32 +0000

It is better than Sebring and Caliber, but thats about all you can say. The rear window line clashes with the kink in the door. Front end much better resolved than Caliber. Hmmm me thinks my money gets spent elsewhere. looking forward to 1952 MG TDs defense of it.

I, as a current generation Dodge Avenger owner, must say that I’m very disappointed. What happened? I expected a seriously looking car, but this is just retarded. At the very least they could have been more creative and left out the Dodge Charger C-Pillar. I won’t complain about the number of doors, because I’m sure a coupe will follow shortly.

And is it just me, or does is seem like Dodge has been throwing their cross-hair grille on as an after thought on their new vehicles. If you’re gonna put it on, atleast design it into the vehicle so it looks like it belongs there.

I expected more from DCX. The Sebring was so-so, but that is Chrysler and aimed at moms. The Avenger needed to be similar in character to the Challenger- a striking car that glued your eyes to it. This is not it. And if you add to the mix that the next Mitsubishi Lancer- same car platform- will be extraordinary, I think DCX wasted their money on this one.

By: Carnut4ever

Carnut4ever — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 11:32:16 +0000

Better than the Sebring sister car but the C pillar with the rear fender bulge just doesn’t cut it. DCX designers should know a terms like “design overkill” and “trying too hard to be retro” which obviously doesn’t work here. Maybe if this car is a hatch, maybe it will work. Looks like the best front drive compact affordable family car will be the Saturn Aura.

[...] A series of images have surfaced online purportedly of the 2007 Dodge Avenger R/T sedan. The car is based on the 2007 Chrysler Sebring, and is expected to make its official debut at the Paris Motor Show later this month. Several readers contacted Leftlane with the images, but the original source of the photos is unknown. We suspect they come from within Chrysler and have been leaked via internet chat forums. (Thanks to Charlie, brightswift, and Nathan for the tip!) The Leftlane Perspective: The muscular design cues look considerably more handsome on the Avenger than the Sebring. What’s more, the car also doesn’t look like a carbon copy of its Chrysler sibling — at least at first glance. As always, reducing the obviousness of badge engineering is a good thing.

No way in hell this is better than the Accord. Go test drive an 06 Accord then test drive this car when it comes out then come back and repost your thoughts.
