In some way, yes. The brand-new 2-door Stratus & Sebring are actually
Eclipses under the sheetmetal. At least according to Car & Driver TV.
Taking a look inside, the interiors are very different between 2-door
and 4-door - far more different than you'd expect for cars with the same
nameplate but different doors.

The Dodge you can't rememebr is the Stealth. In full R/T trim it was a
twin-turbo AWD scorcher, if it wasn't in the 4-second club it was pretty
close, as I recall.
