📚 Vehicle History

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.
