  the 600 was dodge's version of the chrysler e-class luxury car of the 1980s. it was introduced in 1982, as a 1983 model, as a small mid-size car on the chrysler e platform and was discontinued after the 1988 model year. it was chrysler's answer to the gm a-body, whereas the m-body dodge diplomat would compete with full-size cars. it replaced both the 400. (dodge 600 coupes and convertibles were, essentially, rebadged 400s.) like the preceding 400, it slotted between the aries and diplomat. ==debut== 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 european car). it debuted as a four-door 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 4-cylinder available as an option. {{gallery | height = 125 |file:dodge 600 coupe.jpg|1983â1985 dodge 600 coupe |file:'86-'87 dodge 600 convertible.jpg|1986 dodge 600 convertible |file:1988600.jpg|1988 dodge 600 sedan |file:1986-88 do
