Muscular new styling distinguishes 2003 editions of Dodge's mid-size coupe. The bold lines include a revamped prow with fresh fascia, restyled grille and headlamps, plus new foglamps unique to the coupe. Interrupting the smooth lines, flat panels on each side hint at the shapes of NASCAR racers as a pair of muscular shoulders toward the rear imply strength. Engines define personalities of Stratus the coupe. A 2.4-liter in-line-four plant for Stratus SXT makes 147 hp with a manual transmission, or 142 hp with an automatic. More muscle comes from Stratus R/T with the 3.0-liter V6 dispensing 200 hp and keyed to the AutoStick automatic. Stratus R/T also gains more gear, such as a new console and tabs on the steering wheel to control the radio.
