Chrysler JA Platform

Chrysler JA Platform

The JA platform was Chrysler's smaller complement to the LH cars which were larger than the K's, and a direct size replacement for the last extended K cars, the Acclaim and Spirit. It was a mid-size front-wheel drive automobile platform and was the basis for the Cloud Cars - the Chrysler Cirrus/Dodge Stratus/Plymouth Breeze starting in 1995. Like the LH, it was a cab forward design. While this platform was numerically successful, the highest volume for family cars competing against cars like the Taurus, Accord or Camry would move to the LH platform cars, which were often classified as full-size.
