Another post in DIM -- Detroit Iron in Moscow which is a series of posts where I do a bit of car spotting and photograph "Detroit iron" in Moscow -- i.e. full-size American automobiles that I see on Moscow streets, lanes and especially in back yards whilst not specifically looking for them.
Today's subject is this Dodge Intrepid Second Generation full-size car (pictured below) and was found on a dealer's lot.
The first Chrysler product on this series... to be fair this one is neither RWD nor does it seat six people but is surely classed as a full-size car as it checks most of the other boxes -- V6 power (at least), length over 5,000 mm, a roomy passenger compartment, etc.
It may have been in a minor accident -- or, God forbid, it struck somebody in the safe hands of its previous owners... also "rust coloration" is visible in places. This car is likely over 10 years old at the very least as production was ended in 2003. But it is now available to buy as somebody's trade-in at my Ford dealer where I made these photos yesterday.
Chrysler's LH platform, cab-forward design or something. I actually like
the look of this car... coming from a time when car designers were willing to try something new, to introduce new concepts and their designs ended up mostly looking much better than current blobs of cars which almost all look boring and unappealing... to me anyway, also bloated like.
Other than the front end, it doesn't look that bad for a ten (at least) year old car.
Dodge Intrepid SE trim level.
