1991 Dodge Stealth ES Is a Not-So-Stealthy Looker

The ES, with its 24-valve V-6 and 225/55VR-l6 Good­year gatorbacks on eight-inch-wide alloy wheels, easily rises above the average person's needs. And the sight of it as you ap­proach in the parking lot always revs the spirit. Yet the car is quite tame on the road, even refined. Interior sound is muted, the engine is relaxed in its pairing with the four-speed automatic and, so long as you don't bump the suspension switch into Sport, the ride is merely con­trolled.

You don't need the hard ride to be re­minded of the Stealth's sporting attitude. The moderately buckety seats with a clever, infinitely adjustable driver-side lumbar support set the mood, reaffirmed by the large, round instruments right where you can see them. The fifteen-inch leather-wrapped steering wheel seems a bit larger in diameter than is appropriate for a sporting car, but its rim never blocks the gauges, even if its air-bag-stuffed hub does obscure a few dashboard switches.

Notice that we're back to looks again. Every discussion of this car starts with its looks and inevitably loops back again and again. Let the record show that the Stealth ES is very good at what used to be called grand touring—quick and effort­less transit for two—and even better for grand entrances.
