Chrysler
Among the 144 Chrysler entries in the MotorJury library, the Chrysler Cirrus holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 1994. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Chrysler Cirrus properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 1990s were the decade of refinement — airbags and ABS became universal, Japanese build quality set the world standard, and the modern SUV segment was effectively invented. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Audi AG Audi A4, the Audi AG Audi A6, the Toyota Toyota RAV4 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Chrysler Cirrus reads like this: the record lists its engine as 2.0 L Chrysler Neon engine#A588 / A588 Inline-four engine / I4 (gasoline) (Breeze & Stratus only) / 2.4 L Chrysler Neon engine#2.4 and 2.4 Turbo / EDZ/EY7 I4 (gasoline) / 2.4 L Chr; kerb weight is recorded at 2911 -; drive goes through 4-speed Ultradrive#A604/41TE / Ultradrive 41TE automatic / 5-speed New Venture Gear / NV T350 manual (Breeze & Stratus only); the layout is Transverse front-engine, front-wheel drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Chrysler's own catalogue the Chrysler Cirrus sits alongside the Chrysler Falcon, the Chrysler Chronos, the Chrysler Sunbeam, the Chrysler Avenger. The record names the Chrysler LeBaron (Cirrus) / Plymouth Acclaim (Breeze) / Dodge Spirit & Dodge Dynasty (Stratus) / Eagle 2000GTX as its predecessor and the Chrysler Sebring (Cirrus) / Dodge Stratus (Stratus & Breeze) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Michael Santoro (1991). Assembly is recorded at United States: Sterling Heights, Michigan (Sterling Heights Assembly).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Chrysler Cirrus was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
