hi everybody it's me Dave again and I'm
0:02
here to talk about the Dodge Avenger now
0:05
you might remember that as a British car
0:09
uh but that would actually be the helmet
0:11
Avenger or you might remember it as the
0:14
Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupe sold as a Dodge
0:19
and that would be true but that's not
0:20
the one I'm talking about I'm talking
0:22
about the one that's replaced the Dodge
0:26
Stratus and was uh basically also a
0:29
replacement for the Chrysler cus and
0:31
they sold the Chrysler 200 uh nay
0:34
Sebring which got a bad reputation and
0:36
they sold the Dodge Avenger which did
0:39
not get a bad
0:43
reputation so I'm talking too much in
0:45
the past now uh what's important now is
0:48
that we've got stla medium coming up and
0:50
that's going to hopefully reestablish uh
0:54
the former Mopar cars into the heart of
0:57
the American Market which is where you
0:59
find the r four which I might add sells
1:01
over 400,000 a year and it's where you
1:04
also find the uh Toyota Camry which
1:07
sells quite well and the Honda Accord
1:11
which also sells quite well and we're
1:13
used to find the Chevy Malibu which GM
1:16
is dropping I still think that there is
1:18
a good chance that they will bring back
1:21
the Dodge
1:22
Avenger uh and it would be on stla
1:25
medium and this article talks about the
1:27
engine and uh the possible Powertrain
1:30
I think that we're looking at a
1:32
combination of choices that will be
1:34
around 200 to nearly 400 horsepower uh
1:38
if you include a phev and the battery
1:41
combinations they're not going going to
1:43
I think get up to 400 but they'll
1:46
probably end up topping at around 380 or
1:49
390 and that will probably be for a hi
1:52
trim vehicle uh in the base model will
1:55
probably be about oh let's say 250
1:58
horsepower or so would be my guess uh
2:02
the 4 bye system might well go in the
2:04
second generation 4 bye but mainly the
2:07
thing to remember is that this will
2:08
probably be very similar to the Jeep
2:11
Compass possibly with a lighter chassis
2:14
depending on whether the next Jeep
2:16
Compass is set up as a real Jeep or as
2:19
just another Crossover with the Jeep
2:21
logo and some fancy
2:26
Electronics we don't know what will
2:29
happen we don't what will be uh we can
2:31
speculate a bit and that's what this
2:33
article is all about uh we're
2:34
speculating based on what we know and
2:37
what we suspect to be true we will know
2:40
reality in a year or two and I'll see
2:42
you then
