Summary

They were already exotic in our latitudes in 1974: the Saab 99 L, the Triumph Dolomite Sprint and the Chrysler 2 Liter. With completely different approaches and characteristics, they were looking for buyers and wanted to be an alternative to market-dominating Opel or Ford models. The magazine 'hobby' compared the three on a road trip in England and came to some Solomonic conclusions. This article reproduces the original wording of the comparison test at the time and shows all three cars in historical pictures and sales brochures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

The upper limit, where driving comfort, performance and price are still in a healthy relationship to each other, is the two-liter class. Car manufacturers have also recognized this. Last year, a whole series of models around 2000 cc were redesigned, three of the most interesting of which we present to you in this test. Chrysler-Simca/ Paris was the most consistent in following the increasingly apparent trend among prospective car buyers to demand more car for the money in future. The Chrysler 2 Liter offered an all-round complete vehicle for just 11,598 marks, which even had an automatic transmission as standard.
