The Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus and Plymouth Breeze, which carry a $1,500 rebate for 1998 models, had double-digit sales increases.

It was replaced by the Plymouth Breeze in 1996.

For instance, a 1998 Plymouth Breeze costs $15,210, which is $150 - or 1 percent - less than the same car cost a year ago.

The Plymouth Breeze was introduced in 1996 with most of the same options available to the other two models (minus the V6 engine).

The next year brought the Plymouth Breeze.

It looks as if the designers plopped the decklid from an old Plymouth Breeze atop the 7's natural contours.

Options quickly push the price to $15,000 and beyond - into the realm of considerably larger cars like the Nissan Altima and DaimlerChrysler's own Plymouth Breeze.

The Plymouth Breeze came only as one basic model.

A third JA variant, the Plymouth Breeze arrived the following year.
