The Dodge Spirit was introduced in 1989 as the midsize sedan to replace the Dodge 600 and Lancer, and was similar to the 1990- 1995 Chrysler LeBaron sedan and the Plymouth Acclaim. It was based on the Chrysler A platform, a stretched variation of the Chrysler K platform. It was built in Newark, Delaware and Toluca, Mexico. Production ended on December 9, 1994 and it was replaced by the Stratus. The Spirit differed from the other A-bodies mainly in having a firmer, sportier suspension and in styling. The Spirit was a five-passenger four-door sedan with a relatively large trunk, a solid-beam rear axle, and a MacPherson strut front suspension. Initially benchmarked against the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, a relatively slow development process and the need to use common Chrysler Corporation parts and the basic Chrysler K platform design worked against the Spirit and other A-bodies, and they ended up selling quite well but mainly on the basis of price and value. Though maligned in their later years by critics, they did outsell the critically acclaimed Stratus/ Cirrus. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dodge Spirit"
