It seems like only yesterday, but Chrysler's LH cars--Chrysler Concorde, Dodge

1996 Eagle Vision Review Summary & Specs

ESI Sedan
LH with a European accent.

Summary & Specs

reviewed by New Car Test Drive

Unlike with most other models, the Vision's price has hovered in the same range

over the past few years. For the 1995 model year, Chrysler actually dropped the base

price. The base ESi starts at $19,245 running up to $23,190 for a fully loaded model;

a typically equipped ESi costs about $19,795. The TSi starts at $23,835, runs upward

to $26,875, with a typically equipped model costing $24,385. Intrepid prices are a

trifle lower, Concorde prices a trifle higher.

Although it offers essentially the same benefits as Intrepid and Concorde, the

Vision hasn't enjoyed the same sales success as the other LH cars, which means that

rebates and other customer incentives are often offered. Add frequent rebates to

competitive pricing, and the Vision's appeal increases. You'd be hard-pressed to beat

its combination of roominess, performance and style in this price class.
