OK new topic.........

................so what was the most disappointing reviving of a car, now I know this will not garner any favoritism but my most disappointing revisit to a name plate is



and there are alot of Dodge fans that will say oh its a kick *** car srt blah blah blah, but that is not the point I'm making, a charger is a 2 door hardtop, this 4 door thing should not have been allowed to wear the charger name they should have come up with a new name for it like I dunno the all new dodge that looks just like every other dodge. I liken this car to if the mustang or the camaro had been released as a 4 door or worse a station wagon.


so what is you disappointing revisit to a car name plate

It could have been the coronet and they woulda been fine. Problem was that this was slightly before the muscle car rebirth.

i dont think enough people would have caught onto the coronet thing, only the classic car people. All the kids would have no idea what a coronet is.

If you think the current Charger is bad, try to remember this one. One like this was my first car, and remains the reason why I will never own another Chrysler product again.

I dunno - to me, slapping the Taurus nameplate on a Volvo is pretty bad........

Dodge really doesn't have any decent names to resurrect for a "sporty" 4 door sedan. Coronet? Dart? Polara? Monaco? None of the above.

I guess I'm getting old, I don't pay as much attention to cars as
i used to. They all look alike to me.
But the first time I saw the four door Charger , I said "Are you sure that is a Charger".

I had to ask my wife to look at that one, then I did an image search.
Who was running that company then? I think that was before Iakoca.
They must have built that one the year they were bailed out by the good ole US government.~~ I keep forgetting, we paid that bill.
That is one ugly car , chic magnet.
