A cheap 4 banger introduced in 1995, meant to compete with the asian imports. It replaced the 80's designed
Plymouth Sundance/Dodge Shadow models. Many early Neons were painted in weird colors, such as "Nitro yellow-green", "Aqua", or "Magenta" and had serious paint pealing problems. Paint would often peal off in strips leaving the grey primer exposed. The Neon suffered alot of problems with safety too, and ranked poor in
crash test ratings. It's a car to be avoided, but alot are still used today as beaters by
teenagers and wannabe gangstas.
