Dodge Heritage Context:
Dodge, an American automotive brand, historically offered a range of vehicles from performance cars to trucks. The Eagle brand was a distinct marque under Chrysler Corporation (which owned Dodge) often used for rebadged Mitsubishi vehicles.
Eagle Brand Purpose:
The Eagle brand was established by Chrysler in 1987, primarily to sell imported Mitsubishi vehicles in North America with a different marketing approach and dealer network. The Eagle Summit and Premier were also part of this strategy.
Platform Basis:
The Dodge Eagle 2000 GTX was a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore (popularly known as the Mitsubishi Mirage/Colt in other markets, specifically the third-generation A170 series for the sedan/coupe and the E30 series platform for the sedan/coupe which is more likely for 1993, following Mitsubishi's naming conventions for exported models).
Manufacturing Origin:
Japan (likely by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation)
Production Years For Model:
The Eagle Summit (which the 2000 GTX often corresponded to) was produced from approximately 1989-1992/1993 model years. The GTX designation might have been a specific trim or a short-lived variant.
Industry Awards:
While specific awards for the 1993 Dodge Eagle 2000 GTX are uncommon, its Mitsubishi platform counterpart (Mirage/Colt) often received positive reviews for its value and reliability in its class.
Consumer Reports Mentions:
Mitsubishi models of this era were generally noted for good fuel economy and competitive pricing.
Emissions Certification:
Compliant with EPA emissions standards for 1993 model year vehicles.
