Well none of them are my taste, but they are distinctive and they did push up Chrysler sales. Don't forget Chrysler's April 2007 sales were actually higher than their April 2006 sales. Even Toyota couldn't claim that. However, like a lot of distinctive vehicles, the market can become saturated. However, sometimes they can set trends. When the '86 Ford Taurus first arrived there was quite a few people who thought it was ugly. However within a new years a large number of cars were emulating the look.
I had some fun looking for a rental car for a vacation we are planning for next month. Four of us will be using one car, so I was looking for full size cars. Apparently full size means Taurus or Impala, which should be fine. What I found weird was that some rental car agencies considers the Dodge Charger a "premium" upgrade rental and charge more for it. I thought this was insane. The interior is smaller than an Impala, the V-6 Charger gets worse gas mileage than an Impala, and the trunk is smaller - on what wacko planet does this make it an upgrade? Interestingly one rental agency did consider the Charger to be the same class as the Impala. Personally, I'd consider it a downgrade compared to an Impala. But I guess different strokes for different folks. I only wish the "Taurus" would be the rebaged Ford Five Hundred, but I am certain it will be at least a one year old "old style" Taurus. I am hoping for the Impala.
