The "A" name was reused again for the mid-size Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Spirit and Plymouth Acclaim sedans, though this was changed to AA when Chrysler moved to two-letter names for 1990. The "AA" cars lasted until 1995 when replaced by the more modern, but less popular, JA "Cloud Cars" in the same year.
Cars that used the front wheel drive AA platform were:
1990-1994 Chrysler LeBaron sedan
1989-1995 Chrysler Saratoga (export only)
1989-1995 Dodge Spirit
1989-1995 Plymouth Acclaim
