Chrysler JA platform

It was a mid-size front-wheel drive automobile platform that was the basis for the Cloud Cars – the Chrysler Cirrus/Dodge Stratus/Plymouth Breeze starting in 1994.

A modified version of the JA platform called JX debuted in 1995 as the Chrysler Sebring convertible.

Changes for the JX included shortening the wheelbase to 106.0 in (2,692 mm), removing the back doors and roof, stiffening the chassis to compensate for the loss of a solid top, and lengthening of the front and rear clips.

The Dodge Stratus name was carried over, and the Cirrus became the Chrysler Sebring sedan.

The JR sedans were built at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, and the convertible moved back there from Mexico.

The vehicle nameplates were shuffled with the Diamond Star Motors (DSM) coupes.
