The graceful arched profile and exaggerated slant to the windshield for Dodge's mid-size coupe show styling concepts lifted from Intrepid, but the prow with body-colored grille in cross-hair pattern comes directly off the outrageous Viper.

Engines define the personality 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 a five-speed manual or the automatic with AutoStick option. New paint choices for 2004 include shades like Light Blue Pearl Coat, Indy Red and Ice Silver Pearl Coat.
