The Dodge 600 is a mid-size car introduced in 1983, as a 1984 model. This model was Dodge's version of the Chrysler E-Class luxury car and the European Sedan's of the 1980s. The rear-end style and the numerical reminded the Mercedes-Benz models, and had the standards of North American contemporaries such as the Chevrolet Celebrity, Pontiac 6000 and the Ford Fairmont. The 600 resembled the Dodge Mirada more than any European car. This model was available as a four-door sedan, available in two trims: base and ES ("Euro/Sedan"). Power was provided by Chrysler's 2.2 L 4-cylinder engine and the Mitsubishi-built 2.6 L 4-cylinder was available as an option. It was Chrysler's attempt to compete with the GM A-body, whereas the M-body Dodge Diplomat would compete with full-size cars. It replaced both the 400 and the Mirada coupe
1984 - Power output was increased by the optional turbocharged version of the 2.2 L engine that was added. 1985 – The Dodge 600 underwent many changes, the 600 sedan was moved to a longer wheelbase and the former base and ES trims were dropped, replaced by a new SE trim. The new Lancer was a major competitor for the 600. The 2.2 L engine's two-barrel Holley electronic feedback carburetor with an electronic throttle-body fuel injection system was replaced. 1987 – The coupe and the convertible were not produced and the 600 was nearing its end. 1988 - The sedan production was stopped. The 600 was replaced by the 1988 Dynasty (badged as a Chrysler in Canada, whereas the Canadian successor is the Dodge Spirit).
