I’m glad they posted this - I always loved the 1995-2000 Avenger (and the Sebring coupe). An interesting point they brought up was how the Avenger defies precise categorization, something Chrysler has done many times with their cars. It’s more upright and capacious than sports coupes like the Probe, Celica, and Eclipse (despite being heavily based on the Eclipse), but not as big as the coupe versions of regular sedans like the Accord coupe and Monte Carlo. Chrysler did a similar thing with the Cloud cars (Breeze/Stratus/Cirrus) - bigger than compacts like the Contour, 626, and Grand Am; but not as big as a Taurus, Grand Prix, or Camry. The LH (Intrepid/Vision/Concorde) cars, too - they were fullsize cars that Chrysler was pushing on both the midsize and fullsize markets.

Also, a side note, why did Don Schroeder spend three paragraphs rambling on about the Daytona and Laser? Jesus.
