Chrysler's Forgotten Eagle Vision

I call it the "forgotten" Eagle because I myself had let it slip from my mind until I stumbled across an image while researching on the Internet.   The Eagle was a brand conjured up around the time American Motors Corporation was purchased by Chrysler: its general Wikipedia is entry is here.    I wrote about the use of a Renault as the basis for the 1988 Eagle Premier model here.

The subject of the present post is the Eagle Vision, a Chrysler LH sedan platform model marketed model years 1993-1997.  Its Wikipedia entry is here.

Images of the Eagle Vision are below, most being factory-sourced.

A 1993 Eagle Vision.  They essentially badge-engineered variations of the Dodge Intrepid and Chrysler Concorde models.

Front quarter view.  An attractive design, with its distinctive "cab forward" posture.  But not an exciting design.

Rear quarter view.  In the spirit of American early-1990s aerodynamic styling.

Frontal view showing the bumper and air intakes.

Side view of a for-sale Eagle Vision.

Side view of a Dodge Intrepid.  The Vision and Intrepid had the same wheelbase and almost identical lengths, though the Vision appears shorter ahead of the front wheel opening  -- probably due to the camera lens used in its photo.

Dodge Intrepid front end.  It is a highly stylized version of the classic Dodge cross-gunsight grille pattern. I prefer the Eagle's styling there.
