That is one slick ride!
It's a Bentley for the common man.
Even that dark cooper/brown color suits it perfectly.

I never cared for that look and I still don't. That thing looks old and boring. I don't know what else to say about it.

Re: Introducing, Chrysler Imperial (1st peek):
I have no doubt the Imperial would sell huge numbers. Out here in SoCal you can already see the car culture trending away from SUVs. The new big thing is Mustangs, 300's, Chargers, and Magnums lowered with 20inch+ wheel and etc. Sure the ugly-duckling Toyata Prius is popular too (people pay as much as $30,000+ for one of those), but those are often driven buy car haters anyway.
The problem I see for DCX is that the new Chrysler's look better and cost a fraction of a Mercedes while Chryslers benefit significantly from sharing components. The prestige of a Mercedes out here is not what it used to be while the 300 has changed Chrylser's preception (almost overnight) even in the most finicky car market that's Southern California.
Even Snoop Dogg would partrol his old hood (the LBC) in an Imperail

Re: Introducing, Chrysler Imperial (1st peek):
Well Chrysler continues to make it embarassingly easy for me to not even glance at their cars when I'm looking for a new ride. I don't care HOW awesome that car rides/accelerates/handles... that styling = ghetto + retro. Two styling themes that I hate, in one car!

Im telling you, if they make the Imperial, it will sell faster then dealers can get them.
Luckily the industry is large enough to fit everyones taste of automotive art.
