why arent the 2003 neons called gen 3? they have redesigned front and back. what else constitutes a new generation?

 

[lifeisdeath]

was there a "full redesign" with the first and second gen?

 

[lifeisdeath]

what about "the whole body" was changed?

 

[lifeisdeath]

i understand that the gen1 LOOKS alot better than the gen2, but isnt that just the bodywork? just like they changed the 2003 to look better than the gen2. (subjective)

 

[lifeisdeath]

so what changed from the gen1 and gen2 besides bodywork?

 

[lifeisdeath]

Virtually everything about the Neon was changed for 2000. Chassis, suspension, bodywork electrical systems, and some of the engine subsytems, and both the auto and manual transmissions were changed as well.

so for all you srt-4=neon folks, wouldnt that make the srt-4 a gen III?
