The '''600''' was [[Dodge]]'s version of the [[Chrysler E-Class]] [[luxury car]] of the 1980s. It was introduced in 1983, as a 1984 model, as a small [[mid-size car]] on the [[Chrysler E platform]] and was discontinued after the 1988 model year. It was [[Chrysler]]'s attempt to compete with the [[GM A platform (FWD)|GM A-body]], whereas the [[Chrysler M platform|M-body]] [[Dodge Diplomat]] would compete with [[full-size car]]s. It replaced both the [[Dodge 400|400]] and the [[Dodge Mirada|Mirada]] [[coupe]]. (Dodge 600 coupes and convertibles were, essentially, rebadged 400s.) Like the preceding 400, it slotted between the [[Dodge Aries|Aries]] and [[Dodge Diplomat|Diplomat]].<br />
<br />
The 600 was intended to be Dodge's answer to the European sedans of the day. Its numerical name and rear-end styling was designed to evoke thoughts of [[Mercedes-Benz]] models, however it fell more in line with North American contemporaries such as the [[Chevrolet Celebrity]], [[Pontiac 6000]] and the [[Ford Fairmont]] (the 600 actually resembled the [[Dodge Mirada]] more than any [[Europe]]an car). It debuted as a four-door [[sedan (car)|sedan]], available in two trims: base and ES ("Euro/Sedan"). Power was provided by Chrysler's 2.2&nbsp;L 4-cylinder engine, with the Mitsubishi-built 2.6&nbsp;L [[Straight-4|4-cylinder]] available as an option.<br />

<br />
Sales of the 600 nearly doubled in its second year. This was in large part due to the addition of the former [[Dodge 400|400's]] coupe and convertible body styles to the 600's range (which continued to stay on the [[Chrysler K platform|K platform]]). Like most midrange-to-upscale K-car derivatives, digital dashboards and the [[Electronic Voice Alert]] were options. A turbocharged version of the 2.2&nbsp;L engine was also added as an option in 1984, providing a much-needed increase in power output (up to 142&nbsp;hp).<br />

Several changes were made to the 600 in 1985. The 600 [[Sedan (car)|sedan]] was moved to a longer wheelbase and the former base and ES trims were dropped, replaced by a new SE trim. This was due in part to the new [[Dodge Lancer#1980s|Lancer]], which would have competed directly with the 600 (the 5-speed [[manual transmission]] was no longer offered as well, in an attempt to keep competition between the [[Dodge Lancer#1980s|Lancer]] and 600 to a minimum). The [[coupe]] and [[convertible]] remained relatively unchanged except for minor trim and interior changes. The only significant advancement was the replacement of the 2.2&nbsp;L engine's two-barrel Holley electronic feedback [[carburetor]] by an electronic throttle-body [[fuel injection]] system.<br />
<br />
The sedan's base trim returned in 1986, while all 600s were given new, restyled front and rear fascias (the front in particular adopted the now familiar "crosshair" grille, dropping the [[Dodge Mirada|Mirada]]-inspired horizontal slats). The 2.6&nbsp;[[Liter|L]] engine was replaced by a larger [[Chrysler K engine#2.5|2.5&nbsp;L]] version of the Chrysler 2.2&nbsp;L.<br />
<br />
The 600 was nearing its end. The coupe and convertible were dropped for 1987, while the sedan would only last another year, ending production in 1988. The 600 was replaced by the 1988 [[Dodge Dynasty|Dynasty]] (badged as a [[Chrysler (division)|Chrysler]] in Canada, whereas the Canadian successor is the [[Dodge Spirit]]). <br />
