>a single company is responsible for the neon, stratus, dart, ram, challenger, charger, and viper
why were they responsible for so many meme cars

*so many great cars

>>28489284 (OP)
Company culture. They've always been the eccentric performance brand of the big 3. Mercedes tried unsuccessfully to gut that culture and it was a part of why the two split ways.

american companies realized with all the protectionism and the low standards they are tasked with they can build cheap rental car garbage with 1990s engines, suspensions, and interiors, and ameriseals will still clap it up - until they won't and dodge is basically out of business now

Back in the day bitches loved the neon

>>28489299
Poor guys wanted to have a logo that showed unity so they put two deltas (d for dodgeI guess) together and then with israel and all star of david became the signature symbol of schnoz tribe
Unfortunate

>>28489297
>meanwhile in reality the LX platform used Mercedes derived suspension front and rear the last 2 decades and received multiple new engines

Are the bumpers a design choice on purpose or due to laws?

>>28489944
the prangler was a test mule for the plymouth prowler and was constructed in order to design and test the roadster platform during cold northern winters
the prowler itself was a design and manufacturing exercise that intended to take advantage of an aluminum fabrication company chrysler had bought, so the front end of the car, where all the alu spaceframe was, was done before the back half.
not only do they legally need to have a bumper there is also no other place to put the headlights, as on the production car they are integrated into the nosecone. they just bolted a pair of what look like dakota headlights to an extruded aluminum box as a placeholder.

>>28489955
you can also see the transmission cooler for the rear-mounted transaxle is unceremoniously stuck to the roof

>>28489958
allegedly all the pranglers were crushed and the only thing that remains of them are preproduction satin-finished wheels that occasionally show up in prowler circles.

allegedly

>>28489811
the truth is the dodge brothers themselves never used that logo, they died over a decade before it appeared on one of their cars.

>>28489965
than you hist/o/ry anon, the prangler mystifies and eludes me

>>28489955
>>28489965
it makes one wonder what it would take to replicate one

>>28490015
prowlers are tough to repair because of the aluminum structure, you can't fix the unibody after a crash like you can on a steel car. you'd have to get one with a blown engine or tranny and chop out the entire cabin area, then plop a yj or tj cab on it, cut to fit. in the footage you can see the prangler still has the wrangler's dashboard and steering wheel, probably all the hvac and heater stuff too.
i think the only reason nobodys tried (other than that it's kind of silly) is that prowlers are rare and hilariously overpiced. definitely a moneyburning whistlindiesel tier lark that only hardcore mopar nerds will appreciate.

Apparently their is a leak of a 2 door dodge charger coming soon or the elusive "duster"

god damn hamster really is small isnt he

Dont forget the pt loser

>>28489831
girl its a 2002 e-class with fucking recirculating ball steering until they fixed that, its shit
they never put money into NEW platforms, engines, suspensions, interiors, and the brand is moribund for a reason

>>28490155
no lx chassis car has recirculating ball steering

>>28490155
>they never put money into NEW platforms,
lx body received a whole chassis redesign in 2011 called the LD that updated electronics and suspension geometry, challenger also received a chassis update to LA
>engines,
lx body got the pentastar and eagle hemi

>suspensions,
again, ld update

>interiors,
charger/300 interior was refreshed in 2011 and again in 2015
challenger interior wasnt refreshed till 2015


>and the brand is moribund for a reason
and that reason is european grifters like Dieter Zetsche and Carlos Tavares who don't understand how to run an american car company

>>28490164
>redesign
that's not a NEW platform
they were lazy and exploitative and got what they deserved
>refreshed
it didn't need a fucking refresh it needed totally new engine, interior, platform
>pentastar
absolute garbage engine they should have clean-sheet replaced it years ago
>hemi
a fucking pushrod in 2025

no, the brand died because they exploited their customers with cheap shitty garbage for years and people got tired of it

>>28490165
>pentastar is still one of the most power dense engines in production and a 120-degree ferrari twin turbo version just won lemans

yeah ok lmao seethe harder

Why is the Viper a meme car? It's one of the few good burger cars

What's wrong with recirculating ball steering

>>28490165

>>28492228
it's a death trap that didn't put in airbags in the 1st gen for "weight reduction".

>>28490165
The PentaGOD is a near 1:1 power to displacement ratio monster of an engine for grocery getters. Most manufacturers need TURBOS to put out Pentastar POWER

A single company is responsible for the model T, model A, Mustang, cougar, thunderbird, escort, pinto, mondeo, F150, ranger, bronco, GT/GT40, LT8000 (pic), Formula Ford, along with F1 engines and more baja 500 wins than anyone else.

They killed the Magnum. So fuck them. Magnum with the late 2000s pentastar would have been amazing. Make a hybrid version to get gubbermint gibs. Make a Hellcat version because everybody will want one.

>>28493359
>2000s
2010.

Holy fuck i need some sleep

>>28493359
Nobody gives a fuck about the pentashit except that white challenger owner in here (who is probably you). Imaging naming something “magnum” and stuffing it with a v6

>>28493194
I actually do.

>>28493431
The base trim of the magnum had a 2.7L 190 HP V6. It was as shit as you might imagine.

>>28489297
Lmao America has the least protectionism and most free trade. Japan won't even import non-Nip cars. They would have never got off the ground without heavy protectionism to insulate their shitbox industry.

>>28493527
wrong. There are plenty of german,swedish and british cars in japan
