Plymouth Sundance
Tracing history back, America has had a great share of loss in terms of the great
Depression that hit the giant country. It took long before the people regained
what was lost from them. During the times of reconstruction and re-establishment,
Plymouth, one of Chrysler’s production division, created and offered the buying
public cars which were affordable yet functional for its purpose. Plymouth may
have started with very low sales primarily because the people much vied for the
bigger names such as Ford, Cadillac, and Dodge.
Plymouth Sundance was introduced in 1987 as inspired from Dodge Shadow. These two vehicles shared
the same subcompact platform and bore the same front-wheel drive built. Soon enough,
Plymouth Sundance came up with both the two-door and the four-door hatchback.
1987 Plymouth Sundance housed two engines—the 2.2-liter 4 cylinder engine rated
at 93 horsepower that pushed the base model, and the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine
rated at 100 horsepower or 150 horsepower turbocharged versions were optional.
A 5-speed manual transmission came standard on the Sundance versions and an optional
3-speed automatic came as an option.
Changes and modifications crossed Plymouth Sundance’s way. In 1990, the vehicle
received a standard driver side airbag. In 1991 it wore the “America” label the
same with the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon. Furthermore, three trims came in
the same year namely: American, Highline, and RS. Gradually, Plymouth Sundance
phased out in 1994 to give way to the coming in of Dodge Neon and its production
state.
