RLSH700

I have to agree, Dodge has become way too boxy and some of the models look too much alike. If you look back on the late 90s, each car had its own identity to a degree. The Neon looked unique and aerodynamic without a real grille, the Stratus was the only one to have a high (traditional) grille, the Intrepid had a lower grille which made it look like the Viper, the Avenger although having a lower grille was a coupe and had a different look than the Intrepid. The Dakota did look like a baby Ram, which was acceptable as it looked very good and the Durango looked a lot like the Dakota naturally. That in my opinion was the peak of Dodge's styling in recent history. Now here is what is wrong

Avenger:
Although there are things I like about the car. It looks like a cross between a Caliber and Charger. The attempted four door coupe look might work on the Charger, but it seems just plain pathetic on the Avenger and it creates an annoying blind spot. The R/T model looks good but some of the other versions sometimes make me think of the Cobalt (ICK!).

Caliber:
I have never for one minuet like this car in any way shape or form. I looks like a box on wheels. The CVTs don't help my opinion or the fact that they get such terrible fuel mileage for what they are.

Nitro:
How can anyone mistake this for anything but a box on wheels.

Magnum:
I'm sorry but every single time I see one of those things, I see a 1985 Ford LTD Stationwagon (ick! ick! ICK!).

Caravan:
My parents have a 2002 Caravan and they were talking about trading it in since it has 115K on it (which is really not that many miles for how well they hold up), but the new ones look like a return to the 80s so I'm suggesting either they find a left over 2007 or hold out until this one has 200K or more on it. I liked the rounder look personally, plus the interior was nicer on the 2001-2007 models.

1 Bad Mirada, I agree the StormTrooper Avenger looks excellent. I would be very tempted by one of those.
