‘Chrysler Neon stands out in By JIM ROBINSON Special to the Beaver ~ J ill the Chrysler Neon be the car which steals the : small family sedan crown away from Honda‘s Civic or the Cavalier/Sunbird twins? At the recent Montreal Auto Show, Chrysler announced Canadian prices which start at $10,995 for the base vehicle; $12,665 for the "Highline" model with a mix of options most North Americans order; and $14,545 for the "Sport" version of the car. The vehicle will be sold at Plymouth and Dodge dealerships under the same name â€" Neon. In the past each line had its own model name like the Plymouth Alliance and Dodge Spirit which were in fact the same car. When the car was introduced, a Chrysler spokesman said "value for the money" is what will send people out to buy the car. "When we talk about value, we point to features such as the most horsepower in its class, dual air bags, side impact protection, spirited perforâ€" mance, generous interior volume and a 2.0â€"litre, 16â€"valve SOHC engine, stanâ€" dard in every Neon," he said. "This is a small car people will want to buy, rather than have to buy. The fact it is affordable makes Neon even more attractive." Available options include antiâ€"lock brakes, integrated child seats, dual power remote side mirrors, power locks and a number of comfort and convenience features.

The nose, with its aeroâ€"inspired lights is very LH in appearance. Like LH it also cleaves the wind neatly having a 0.34 drag coefficient. Even though it is aerodyâ€" namically svelte, it still has a trunk which can hold almost 12 cubic feet of luggage. The car cost (US)$1.3 billion and 31 months to develop. Heart of the Neon is a 132 hp, transversely mountâ€" ed fourâ€"cylinder engine which proâ€" vides 129 ft/lbs of torque. Standard transmission is a newlyâ€"developed fiveâ€"speed manual.
