The stratus is being discontinued.

I'm undecided. It looks like a mix between a Mercedes and Saturn.

Hmm...

It looks like a Cadillac Catera.

That may or may not be true. Its might be called the Stratus or the Avenger. We'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, it lost 2.5 cu ft of trunk room to the old Sebring. Thats sad, all they had to do was make it a few inches longer. The trunk room is only .6 cu ft bigger than our Neons.

The exterior dimentions are within an inch of the old one though. Though it is taller as are all DCX's new vehicles.

I really don't like what it looks like from the outside. the interior is really nice and I love all the options it has in that category. They are trying to get 35-55 year old people to buy that car it said in the article. I personally would never buy it, doesn't look like anything new. I thought Chrysler would do a better job... 2 thumbs down for ugliness and unoriginalness.

Can we stop letting Mercedes Design our American cars.. jeez. This isnt Germany, Give us a Sport Compact Coupe or 2 seater and leave the European Design in Europe.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the name Stratus. The Stratus/Sebring as we know it now stopped production last month. The tooling was sold to a Russian company and they plan to produce a car similar to it for thier market. Right now, they are re-tooling to make the S/S replacements. The Stratus name may be used for the replacement, but we won't see that for 3 to 6 month. So, yes, the current Stratus car has been discontinued.

Hit the nail on the head, the shape of it looks just like the Ion. I don't like it...

me either...their financing is teh SUCK

Id buy used though. I want a Chrysler 300C one day, and another neon. Just today I found a 01 steel blue plymouth....I want it

this car is ugly though. reminds me of a catera/saturn ion/mercedes/older 300m

ugh

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 9:41 pm

The rear looks like a Corrolla.

titansxt · Post by **titansxt** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 10:21 pm

No, you all got it wrong. Its a 300PacificaIon(quad coupoe)Neon(4x4) with a hint of a blind designer and no focus group.

Sigh.....I hate Chrysler.
