I would still classify it as a compact. It looks to me like a toyota matrix or mazda 3 5-door.

I'm surprised the Neon name lasted this long.

1990-1993 Dodge Daytona IROC R/t
Only the IROC R/T could have the 224-horsepower Turbo III. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard (mandatory with the most potent turbos).

It is shaped similarly to a x-over, but is most definetly a sport compact. here is pic with some people next to it to give an idea of the size:

No. Call it X-over, Y-over, call it whatever, but I won't call this a compact.

Just because it's smaller than a Dodge SUV does not a compact make.

that is the worst thing ive ever seen. it looks like a mini durango. the current srt4 doesnt look too bad, but that's worse than the neon, and they will never be cool. everyone will laugh at the guys that drive these things

Look at the rear C/D pillar & roofline area.

What the hell was DCX thinking? :screwy:

They deliberately paint the top section of the rear pillar flat-black to emulate a coupe-like roof-line... and then they slap on a body-color spoiler that ruins the effect. Heck, even the trailing edge of the spoiler doesn't align with the kink of the rear window. Take a look at the side elevation.


Clearly the pitiful result of design-by-commitee.
One group did the front end, another did the side elevation and yet another did the rear. :a:

GM used to do this for decades with the Cadillac line. They still haven't recovered IMO, but this is far worse.

After the Crossfire and 300C, it is depressing to see DCX fail so miserably.
