There's nothing worse than a nasty rumor. We're not talking about gossip at your bridge game; we mean auto rumors. A few fragmented details "leak" on the internet and the next thing you know we're prepping to bury one of our favorite models. However, if there's one plus-side to keeping up with the rumor mill it's that you often get a second chance on models that were reported to be nearing the end of their shelf life.
The staff in our Fort Wayne, IN dealership recently had a scare over rumblings that the Dodge Avenger was on its way out. But after seeing the sedan go to the other side and back we feel like we have a whole new car lease on life.
After all, the Avenger has quite a few things going for it, and with 283hp under the hood, it gets going in a hurry. In fact, that 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 has helped it become the most powerful mid-size car on the market.
It's not all about the muscle, though. The Avenger illustrates a strong sense of responsibility, touting both best-in-class highway fuel economy with its V6, and a TOP SAFETY PICK+ nod from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
When you've got all that under one roof why would you even consider calling it a day? Here at O'Daniel Motor Sales, we're just glad that Dodge has an awful lot more sense than the rumor-mongers of the world.
To really see why we're so attached to the Avenger, stop by our new Dodge dealership and take one out for a spin. After a few minutes behind the wheel, we bet you'll be singing its praises, too.
