That was, IMHO, a major factor in their downfall - they looked too much like the LeBaron even though they actually shared very little with each other. Sure, the basic platform was the same, but the engines were different enough and none of the body panels are actually interchangeable. If you're going to make a "halo" car on the same platform as a major seller, don't make it look like that major seller for goodness sake! If it's going to be different, make it different. It's a much nicer car than most people think, because most people think it really is nothing more than a shortened LeBaron.
