Dodge has unveiled their competitor in the European D-segment, the Avenger. Shown here as a production preview, the Avenger is sister car to the Chrysler Sebring launched at the British Motor Show, both sharing the same platform. The two cars will join Chevrolet in bringing brand America to Europe.

As Dodge demonstrated with the Hornet concept in Geneva, the Avenger concept brings a new aesthetic to European consumers, deliberately mixing muscle car cues. Bowing to local tastes, the concept, which will be shown next week in Paris, features a 2-liter turbodiesel engine - though the chrome-tipped pipes still face rear - not downwards. Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President Design, Chrysler Group said that the Avenger "does for the global D-segment what Caliber has done in the global C-segment - it offers a unique alternative to the competition."
