I don't know about the new ones yet, but the older Avengers were pretty much what you described. Now they have 4 doors and are a little larger, so hopefully they do well enough to stick around awhile. Quality will have to wait awhile to be judged since they are less than a year old.

How about the Monte Carlo? They get decent mileage, plenty of room (even in the back), decent trunk too. Nice styling (admittedly, my opinion), good performance, decently priced, and decent quality too. Not going to get 40+ like some econoboxes, but still mid-20's in town.

Ford's Focus SVT fit in there. Now, I don't personally like them, but many did. And, I thought they were overpriced for what you got, but still.

I'm sure there are others as well.....

I wouldn't be caught dead in either a Chrysler or Ford product. EVER!!! The smaller Zeta cars(if they happen, can't remember the platform name) might be something to look at as well, provided they aren't too small and they actually do get here.
