  • 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage
    Contact: Brandt Rosenbusch 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage The First Avenger Plans for the first car to carry the Avenger name were initiated by the Rootes Group (later to become Chrysler Europe) in England in 1963. Intended to replace Rootes’ best-selling vehicle of the time, the Hillman Minx, the project was delayed by funding issues; another car, the Arrow, would become the replacement for the Minx. Still, Rootes executives saw the need for a smaller car, and consideration of what they would call the “B-Car” began in earnest in November 1965. It would prove to be the first and last car developed by Rootes, following its 1967 takeover by Chrysler Corporation. Said to have drawn its inspiration from Detroit, the new car featured a readily identifiable “semi-fastback” design that would become its trademark. Much consideration was given to the needs of female customers; fashion consultants were employed during the design phase. The Hillman Avenger would feature a four-link rear suspension in place of traditional leaf springs, standard front anti-roll bars and a selection of four inline-four cylinder engines. The Hillman Avenger was introduced in February 1970 to popular acclaim. This B-class vehicle, built in sedan and wagon versions to compete with the Austin 1300, Ford Escort, Vauxhall Viva and other small cars, was designed to be the basic no-frills Hillman, with a four-speed manual gearbox an all-iron overhead valve engine. Four-door saloons were built first, followed by two-door saloons and five-door “estate” models. Many variations of the basic Avenger appeared over the years.

  • 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING LX Daimlerchrysler Now Groups The
    2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING LX DaimlerChrysler now groups the Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, the former Sebring, and the Chrysler Cirrus under the same name. The new Sebring is available in sedan, coupe and convertible versions. We tested the sedan, designed to compete with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Interior and trunk The low roof makes it hard to get in and out if you’re tall. The front seats are very comfortable, and drivers get a very good driving position. It is hard to judge distances when backing up, but the view is clear to the front and sides. Front and rear head room is tight for tall individuals. The low cushion makes the rear bench rather uncomfortable. Leg room is adequate. The 60/40 split seatback is a nice touch. Liftover to the roomy trunk is high, and the narrow opening seriously restricts the size of items that can be stowed inside. The hinges are located so as not to squash things in the trunk. Convenience and safety features The cabin is well finished but poorly soundproofed against road and engine noise. The glove box is small, but there are plenty of other roomy storage compartments. Surprisingly from this builder, the cup holders are made for just one beverage container size. Instruments and controls are well located, except for the radio buttons. These are placed low under the air conditioner, and the driver has to take his eyes off the road longer than necessary to tune the radio. The climate system is very efficient and has big, easy to use buttons.
