When Dodge decided to reenter Winston Cup racing in the 1990s, they chose the Neon to represent the brand. The 2006 2007 Dodge Neon is fast - real fast. The Neon is a great car at an affordable price. New for this year, the improved Neon comes in three models:

• Neon SE



• ES



• SXT
  
  
  

Standard on the Neon SE is a 2.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine that delivers 200 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and produces 190 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,850 rpm. The Neon ES offers a new 3.5-liter engine that delivers 232 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and produces 241 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,000 rpm.
