FactDodge built three nearly identical cab-forward sedans at once, ranking this Stratus deliberately between the Cirrus and Breeze.
The Dodge Stratus was introduced in December 1994 for the 1995 model year as the mid-range model of Chrysler's "cab-forward" JA platform trio, between the more luxurious Chrysler Cirrus and the value-oriented Plymouth Breeze. It was a four-door sedan built at Sterling Heights, Michigan, in base (later SE) and sportier ES trims. The base car had a 2.0 litre SOHC four, with a 2.4 litre DOHC four and a 2.5 litre Mitsubishi V6 optional, and a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 2.0 SOHC I4 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska bought its licence and production line in 2006; GAZ built it as the Volga Siber, and only 8,933 were made.
The Stratus Coupe shared a name with the Stratus sedan and nothing else — underneath, it was really a Mitsubishi Eclipse platform, built at a former Mitsubishi factory.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
