Much better with body-color grille, but still ugly.

No way, it looks awesome, especially in red, but that's my opinion

Doesn't look as dumb in this image...

At least it looks different.

It looks good, nice and tough, not weird like the Japanese competition. G6 GTP still trumps it in looks and hosspowuh, however.

Looks much more coherent than the Sebring, but way too similar to the Charger.

I disagree about the G6 looking better, though I'll give hp...but the Avenger is supposed to have a 6-speed right? 2 more than the G6

Nothing wrong with a family resemblance...plus I think this looks better (gasp!)

Both the sedan and coupe GTP G6 have the 6 speed now, and as far as the avenger goes, it looks like they just took a charger and made it uglier. There is no problem with family resemblence, but it should be well done. I think the front looks decent, but there is something wrong with the rear fender flares. They just look awkward.

This thing was obviously designed on the cheap.

It's a 7/8ths Charger.

Not bad at all... except for the power train.

* 173-hp four-cylinder shared with the Dodge Caliber, mated to a four-speed automatic and getting 24/32 mpg city/highway

* 189-hp flexible-fuel V-6 that can run on E85 or gasoline, teamed with a four-speed automatic. Mileage is estimated at 22/30 city/highway

* 235-hp V-6 with Chrysler’s new six-speed transmission, registering mileage of 19/28 mpg city/highway

4-speed on lower models, 6-speed on top model.... just like the G6

This car looks really good in those photos.

I should have the full press release up as soon as I get home.

+ fuel efficiency

Looks like a Charger that was shrunk in the dryer.

It's so much better than the Sebring. It would be even better if its deck was a little bit longer.

Full press release and tons of photos (along with design sketches) now available in the DaimlerChrysler section of this site. Go check it out and enjoy.
