2006 Neon






Came across this on Edmunds today. I think they're getting a little over-zealous with the Magnum styling (the new Charger is a joke).

Seems more like a PT Cruiser replacement than a Neon replacement. I think it'll be a tough sell for someone shopping a small car.

That's gotta be something else. Too dramatically different to be Neon... It's an entirely different car.

They may make it an SRT-something... Like SRT-6, but that's no Neon platform.

Peep this: http://www.automotivemodels.com/dodge-neon.htm

here's the REAL new neon:

No, that's right. According to Automotive News there won't be a sedan replacement for the Neon, and the name is going to be retired. The platform under that thing will be under the next Lancer/Outlander/Evolution.

Its the GLOBAL NEON. Not just for the US anymore. Chyrsler needs to branch out in the world market as the Mercedes name gets luxary taxed in most countries and they dont under Chrysler.

Besides anyone else watch Sports Car Revolution the SRT-4 is to top heavy and they complain about the handling the whole time. They add mods and loose power WTF is with that? At least stock it Dyno'd good.
