Every few weeks, months or years we go and spend or even splurge on ourselves. We give ourselves a better look or new knowledge or a new skill. Why do we do that? Because though essentially we are fine, even happy with our good old selves, there is the excitement that adding something new brings that makes life, well exciting.
It is not right to assume a luxurious product need not be stylish. It is true some style may be reflected in the luxury but style is also reflected in those aspects of a car which are not directly related to its luxuriousness. A luxurious style has to be achieved independently of adding luxury features.
Versatility is a great achievement while designing a product such as a car. It also makes a lot of business sense since now the car will appeal to a larger share of the market. However versatility also tends to imply a boring function based product which is not likely to be very stylish.

At the same time the person also adds to the consideration set when the person sees a car on the road that looks nice.

Let us face it, when we see an extremely attractive car full of features that deliver style, performance and luxury a small desire to own one briefly passes through our mind. And if we are a car enthusiast the desire will not really be quite so small. And when we realize we cannot own one, at least for now, we may think of the owner of the car that lies before us. And we may for an instant wish we had the good fortune or had put in the effort ourselves so that we could own the car now. We may deny it but though we may not be out right jealous we will for a moment covet the car.

Car manufacturers have to cater to the demands of all types of customers. There is a wide range of them. At one end of the spectrum there are buyers who want every item in their car to be outstanding.

When one encounters a great piece of work one gets inspired. If you see a great tennis shot you may find your own hands swinging through an imaginary ball. If you see a great painting you may find yourself having a go at it yourself.

And the quality of the vehicle starts from its styling and runs through its superb performance and luxurious spaciousness.

It is not only the stars and sport persons that stage a comeback. Cars do it as well. Dodge station wagon came on the scene about four decades back. After some time station wagons no longer remained a favorite. Their market was overtaken by minivans and SUVs.

It is easy to forget in all the razzle-dazzle of today's glitzy cars that a car is a very personal possession and it says as much about you as do your clothes and hair style. And for the style statement to be a great one your car need not be the most attractive car in the world. It should simply look comfortable, perform efficiently and have some of your attitude and character instilled in it. Just as it is with clothes. One doesn't wear very expensive clothes most of the while but if the clothes look comfortable and fit you well, people will think you have a good taste in clothes.
There are big luxury cars and there are small compact cars. However, some people will like to have something in between. To meet such a demand mid-sized Dodge Avenger was released in the market.

It has five speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch.
