The first generation Dodge Avenger was a 2-door
coupe produced from 1995 to 2000, replacing the
Dodge Daytona and the Mitsubishi-based Dodge Stealth
(which was discontinued in 1996). The Avenger, along
with the similar Chrysler Sebring coupe, were built
by Diamond Star Motors (DSM), a joint venture between
Chrysler Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors, on the
Mitsubishi Galant (FJDS22) platform. This joint
venture between the two ended in 1995. Avengers
and Sebring coupes built from 1995 to 1996 both
have DSM markings in their engine compartments.
The Avenger will return for 2008, this
time as a sedan to replace the aging Stratus sedan.
The Avenger, along with the redesigned Sebring will
use a shared DaimlerChrysler/Mitsubishi Motors platform
called the GS. For the new cars, the GS platform
will be stretched in size and will be known as the
JS. |
