Default Goodbye Neon And Stratus

Most of you should know that the Neon is dying out this year but I just got new news about the demise of the Stratus. Dodge is Changing the name to Avenger. The Avenger was made from 1995-2001 and I own one. They said the name was getting a bad image. And also said that "you know it is bad when it is in a Saturday Night Live Skit", of course the Famous Will Ferrell line "I Drive a Dodge Stratus!" Anyway they want to be more agressive with the car. Hopefully this means rear wheel drive...hahaha, who am I kidding. This is supposed to become the Dodge Challenger in 2009 ish. Pic of My 1997 Avenger:

In the Vantage, everyone's going to want your babies.
