Dodge Stratus/Intrepid and both their Chrysler and Plymouth equivalents.


FormalJolly2345

Chrysler cirrus and Plymouth Breeze.


RoseWould

Ty, I only remembered at least one of those was also the Chrysler Concorde? I think. Haven't thought about much about any of these in the last probably 15 years šŸ˜…


Oddlyinefficient

The Chrysler Cloud cars were the Dodge Stratus, Plymouth Breeze, and Chrysler Cirrus. The LH cars were the Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler New Yorker, Chrysler LHS, Chrysler Concorde, Chrysler 300, and the Eagle Vision. The Stratus got a second generation and the Cirrus was replaced with the Sebring which became the 200. The Breeze went away as did the entire Plymouth division. The Intrepid got a second generation and was replaced with the Charger. The New Yorker name plate was dropped pretty early, but the LHS and Concorde survived into the second generation of the LH cars. Eventually the LHS was dropped while the Concorde continued. The Eagle Vision was supposed to get a second generation as well, but when Eagle was dropped, they put some Chrysler badges on it and it turned into the 300M.


SanibelMan

The Eagle Vision was a decent car. My mom drove a 1994 TSi for a few years and really liked it. Of course, reliability was an issue over the long-term.


-_Odd_-

The 300M was a fun car to be a passenger in. It was the first time I ever went over 100 miles an hour. I was standing up through the sunroof high as balls on mushrooms while my friend drove. I get why dogs hang out the window now. Good times.


davidbfromcali

The intrepid looks like a cockroach


freddy315

there are still 34 Sebrings on the road


jimothyhalpret

C L O U D C A R S


Difficult-Worker62

I had a Chrysler Cirrus in high school. It was somehow the biggest piece of shit but that motor just refused to die. I put that car through hell and it took it for 5 years


scifigunguy

There is one at my mechanicā€™s place constantly getting fixed. Old lady car with like 50k miles that she gave to her grandson. Even as nice as it is itā€™s still a POS.


preludehaver

A lot of folks act like these are all gone but I see them pretty regularly. I see far more of them than dodge darts šŸ’€


Whatthehellisamilf

I see tons of Concordes/Intrepids on the road. My neighbor has had one for 15+ years now. Not sure whether it's a 2.7l or 3.2l. My guess is 3.2 lol. For context, I live in Minnesota.


VTwelveMerlin

Anybody else only able to hear the words ā€œDodge Stratusā€ in Will Ferrellā€™s voice?


Maynard_002000

I drive a Dodge Stratus!


70InternationalTAll

Does the Sebring and original 300 fit here too? Totally forgot about those "streamlined" Dodge/Chrysler autos.


RoseWould

Yes, I actually completely forgot about both of those. The only reason I don't include the Neon whenever I see this is because I own one, so can't forget about it myself. Almost everything except the ram, viper, and durango, and the vans would fit. I just realized I haven't seen a caliber in awhile either.


PrizeAdministrative3

I transported a trade-in Sebring with 60k miles on it some weeks ago for Carvana.


signalfaradayfromme

These like disappeared all at once 5 ish years ago.


bigtim3727

This is a good one. The first and second gen interpreds were EVERYWHERE back in the day, but you donā€™t see any of themā€”or really any LH platform Chrysler, for that matterā€”on the road anymore.


ISBN39393242

omg my family used to have a dodge stratus and I forgot they even existed even though any car my family had i look out for on the road and makes me feel happy and nostalgic for a few seconds, I look out for them. I even see the ford windstar sometimes. but I havenā€™t seen a stratus in forever in my area


Similar_Worry_5858

Geo metro, Chevy chevette and ford escortā€¦


flamingknifepenis

Thereā€™s a dude up the street from me that has three Metros. It always tickles me a little bit when I walk by and see them because theyā€™re so rare these days and it takes me back to the shitty one my sister drove for a while.


rennyomega

I want to see pics of the Metros, honestly.


Similar_Worry_5858

Now that I think about it Iā€™ve seen 1 metro and maybe 2 chevettes in the town I live inā€¦.i do remember seeing a chevette at a stop sign and the lady driving it was cursing at the chevette!!! lol she was upset because the engine died on her and she was trying to get the engine startedā€¦.lol she was forcing the poor chevette to started up so she could drive awayā€¦.lol


Similar_Worry_5858

Wow!!!! 3 metros jeez!!! LoL


JulianMarcello

You need the parts from 2 Metros to keep 1 running.


Weak_Cartographer735

I work with a guy who owns a convertible metro and drives it work when the weather is nice. Datacenter people are weird.


Vg_Ace135

I had a 1994 Geo Metro. By far the worst POS I ever owned. Everything on that car broke. Nothing worked. Every dollar I saved on gas just went right back in to keeping the car on the road.


Ecstatic_Lynx4878

Geo Tracker


Deepcoma_53

Suzuki Sidekicks!


Sonypony6

one of my junk hoarding neighbors has a metro packed to the brim with shit inside of it lol


hot-rod-lincoln

A friend of mine has a 1979 Chevette with around 38,000 miles. Amazing condition, still on the original tires.


Similar_Worry_5858

Iā€™ll admit it my mom had a brand new 1977-78 chevette and drove that poor chevette like a boss and that poor chevette got a beating from my mom and eventually after a year of driving the chevette. That poor chevette started breaking down and acting up and eventually started stalling and dying out on the freeways and what have youā€¦lol within 4 years my mom hadā€¦had enough of getting stalled on the freeways and roads my dad bought her a brand new Subaru and that car was great. My mom kept the chevette for my older sister to learn how to drive. That poor chevette was beaten into the ground and then some but wouldnā€™t die on usā€¦lol


Alpha-Leader

Metro is a meme, you can't forget it.


sometimes1020

My neighbor actually has both the chevette and the escort, he still dailys the escort too


Similar_Worry_5858

There were tons of ford escorts and chevettes on the street I grew out onā€¦.and one day I swear 2 dads I knew that lived near my parents house decided to drag race on our street back in the day and it was so hilariously funny and comicalā€¦.so they line up and one of the kids stands between the 2 cars and yells goā€¦lol the chevette let out a loud bang sound and the ford escorts dumped coolant on the roadā€¦lol the chevette was never the sameā€¦the carburetor on the chevette caught on fire and the muffler blow up and there was a hole on the side of the mufflerā€¦.lol after that the chevette wouldnā€™t start up and us kids pushed the chevette to the dads house and his wife was so upsetā€¦.all I remember for 3 days after thatā€¦.the dad tried to fix the chevette a lot of cursing at the chevette and cranking and pedal pumping on the chevetteā€¦.lol


Electrical-Ad1288

I still see at least 1 Metro a week where I live


Unhappylightbulb

Just about any Saturn.


TrueyJeans

I see the Vue fairly often but other than that literally nothing


Anxious_Term4945

Upstate rural New York see quite a few sedans.


A-Giant-Blue-Moose

I see a surprising number of them, but I live in the PNW where everything refuses to die


32lib

Unless you live near the coast.


Relevant_Error_2395

Idk, i dated two different women in two different states ( ME and VA) that owned the same Saturn ( both lived feet away from the ocean) and them things ran flawlessly forever in both cases.


JulianMarcello

The OTHER rust belt


Nprguy

Honda J32 powah. My gf in highschool had one was surprised when I saw my buddies Acura CL engine under the hood of her car.


STICH666

Even in the Northeast where everything rusts I still see SLs, SWs, Ions and Skys regularly


LEO7039

Surprisingly saw like 5 in the last couple days in Nova Scotia. Vues and Ions.


Dreamerlax

Saturns are bizarrely overrepresented in Nova Scotia.


LEO7039

Which is pretty damn weird, considering how quickly cars dissolve here. Did Saturn have that great of a rust protection?


Rau-Li

They had plastic body panels.


LEO7039

But the structural components are still metal. And that's usually the problem, not the actual body panels. It probably did help though, still.


Least-Masterpiece368

Just all plastic


thisisausername100fs

I was driving a top trim L300 wagon until 3 months ago šŸ˜‚ gave it to the homies little brother for $100


M1DNI6HT_K1N6

Dodge Aspen. It's unreliable, a bit ugly, and it's just a fancy Durango. They are also a bit rare to see nowadays for good reason.


Yankee-Tango

I didnā€™t know a Chrysler aspen existed until I saw one drive up my block a few months ago. Wild.


M1DNI6HT_K1N6

It's definitely a sight to see lol, my friend thought it was a new Durango but when I told him what it was, he was confusedšŸ˜‚


Yankee-Tango

I was always confused as to why Chrysler never made a luxury SUV when it probably could have had a solid market. But reading about it makes sense.


caucafinousvehicle

They did, the Pacifica.


Cananbaum

They came a horrid time too, which didnā€™t help. The economy crashed and gas prices soared. No one wanted a massive SUV atm


M1DNI6HT_K1N6

It sucks because I actually think it could've been a good SUV but it was up against the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade and the Mercedes Benz G Class.


hot-rod-lincoln

My wife & I saw a blue Chrysler Aspen last weekend. I was excited to see it, lol.


JiveTurkey1983

All Aspens are clapped out. That's kind of a rule.


thetoastler

I used to work with someone who had one. Don't recall seeing one since, and that was about 5 years ago.


GuardianofM

My buddy had an Aspen and I was like I thought it was a Chrysler though? And sure enough they made a Chrysler Aspen which I feel like fits the question lol I have seen one in years.


32lib

The Daewoos


JeffreyCheffrey

There was a final window of ~5 years where used Daewoos that still ran could be had for like $3,500.


Time-Distance-5740

shadow_44youtube

Head_Fetish

Pontiac Sunbird. My dad had one until 2010. I don't think I've seen one since. I can barely even remember what they look like.


thatvhstapeguy

I last saw one about an hour ago... because I own it.


JeffreyCheffrey

My driverā€™s ed school had Pontiac Sunfires back in the day. I was too tall for them and my knee would change the radio stations.


SaoirseMayes

Honda Del Sol, I used to see them everywhere but not anymore


chetgoodenough

I would like to have a nice one, but they are all rust buckets in my area.


lifegoeson2702

They looked mid enginedā€¦.but werenā€™t


John_the_Piper

A buddy of mine in college had one. It was his pride and joy that he spent a lot of time keeping in top shape. Thought it was the dumbest thing ever at a time but after I turned into a "car guy" as an adult, I had to reach out to him to see if he still had it. It's his mom's weekend runaround car now.

I have one

Unironically a good looking car, thanks to Giugiaro


Beneficial-Animal-22

2002 toyota prius. Looks quite different than the next gen that everyone remembers.


TinuThomasTrain

That Gen had an issue with the trans that probably took most of them out of commision. I still occasionally see them here in NJ in a sea of Gen 2 and 3 Priuses though.

TheChompHasRizen

Iā€™m on a quest to see a Monte Carlo on the roadā€¦still unsuccessfulšŸ˜”


Sonypony6

really? I still see 2000s monte Carlos on an almost daily basis where I live


TheChompHasRizen

Dang really?? Those are the ones Iā€™m specifically looking for. The closest Iā€™ve gotten looks wise are some 2000s impalas


1track_mind

Saw a Black Cougar today, took a pic just cause it's been so long


rcabug

Still a ton of those Nissan hard bodies on the road, sure most have over 300k


screwygrapes

i used to see hardbodies all the time growing up down in appalachia but then when i moved to new england and then later bought a d21 of my own i had the disappointment of realizing theyā€™re all rusted and gone up here and all the closest parts cars were in virginia and north carolina. you still can see several daily in the area i grew up, but other than mine iā€™ve seen maybe three others regularly in my area up in the land of rust


kung-pow

Mazda 626


Sonypony6

90s Jeep Grand Cherokee. my dad had a 97 so I always notice them when I see them, and I can't remember the last time I did. we also had an 07 and I don't see many that look like that anymore either. we lived in Colorado at the time though, where jeeps are pretty popular.


Such-Comfortable-118

Most of them left by 08/09 got crushed for $Cash$ for Clunkers. I own a ZJ that somehow has survived 28 years, and itā€™s seldom driven, itā€™s a fun weekend cruiser. Itā€™s too nice to bomb trails or drive during winter. Thatā€™s a reason why you donā€™t see many 80/90s survivors, theyā€™re not daily drivers anymore!


Electrical-Ad1288

Ford Probe Mercury Cougar Plymouth Prowler Chevy Caprice Haven't noticed any of these since at least 2005 Honorable mention: Volvo 850 (my first car and it died in 2016)

STICH666

funny enough I just test drove one and it was pretty good albeit very rusty so I didn't grab it. Great clutch great throttle response and the brakes are pretty decent. I mean the interior does have the build quality of a bucket of Legos falling down the stairs but still


STICH666

pretty much anything on the Chrysler LHS platform. Also Sebrings used to be everywhere and now I haven't seen one on the road in probably a decade

thetoastler

Can count the number of times I've seen a first gen Ford Explorer on the road on one finger. Other than mine, lol. More than I like to think about were crushed in 2008.


Cornelius_McMuffin

Second Generation Oldsmobile Silhouette. The first gen is one of those iconic slant front vans from the late 80s/early 90s, but the second gen looks totally generic and I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever in my life seen one.


Cornelius_McMuffin

Another contender for most obscure minivan would be the Buick Terraza, along with its badge-engineered compatriots, the Chevy Uplander and Saturn Relay.


jimothyhalpret

And the Pontiac Montana *SV6* -whatever that meant


Cornelius_McMuffin

Also notable is the Opel/Vauxhall Sintra, another badge engineering job based on the same platform as the gen 2 silhouette, but despite being made in America, were only sold in Europe.


Toxikfoxx

Dodge Daytona! My BIL owned one when I was in high school back in the 90ā€™s. I havenā€™t seen one on the roads in a decade.

For some reason I donā€™t see the sixth (2004 to 2008) and the seventh (2009 to 2014) generation maximas the same way you see the altimas. Really I feel like I havenā€™t see the 6th gen in years. And once the newer gen maximas came out all older genā€™s were traded in. I loved the look of them but unsure about the quality.
