The Eagle Vision was a large four-door, fullsize, Front Wheel Drive Sedan . Produced by Chrysler from 1993 - 1997 , it was very similar to the first generation Chrysler Concorde , Chrysler LHS , which underpinned them. The Eagle Vision was badged as the Chrysler Vision in Europe. The Vision debuted at the 1992 North American International Auto Show in Detroit . It was on '' Car And Driver '' magazine's Ten Best List for 1994 . DESIGN The design was based on the 1987 concept Lamborghini Portofino 's revolutionary design, called "cab-forward". The cab-forward design was characterized by the long, low slung windshield and relatively short overhangs. The wheels were effectively pushed to the corners of the car, creating a much larger passenger cabin than the contemporaries of the time. Without badges, the Vision could easily pass as a Concorde. The only main difference between the two were the taillight clusters; the Vision incorporated amber turn signals rather than the Concorde's red. The Vision also did not have the Concorde's rear lightbar between the two taillights. The Vision and Concorde shared the same headlights but the Vision's grille was smaller. The Intrepid, on the other hand, featured completely different head and tail lights and did not have a grille at all. YEAR-TO-YEAR CHANGES
END OF THE VISION The Vision sold in respectable numbers but was not as popular as the Intrepid or the Concorde. The Vision saw its last year in production in 1997 ; the whole Eagle brand was discontinued in 1998 . When the LH cars were redesigned for 1998, the Vision was replaced by the 1999 Chrysler 300M .
