Chrysler Imperial Concept

Let's get the fact that the Chrysler Imperial Concept looks like a Rolls-Royce Phantom out of the way first: It looks like a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Okay, now to the heart of the matter: This thing is impressive. It's a bit smoother overall than the 300, which is exactly what I would do to the 300 if it were up to me. The interior is beautiful...

The extended wheelbase gives the rear seat Maybach-like room, and I love the trunk, taillight and grile treatment.

They should make this one. It would sell well and upgrade the brand's image. I'm Snoop Dog would approve -- and isn't that all that really matters?

I like the idea of Chrysler building a luxury car above the Chrysler 300, but I dont want them to build this concept. As you stated it looks just like a Rolls Royce Phantom. Building this vehicle shows that Chrysler had no imagination so they just copied an expensive car's look to give their car image.
 
Come on Chrysler, you've done a good job with the 300 and the new Aspen, inject some American style and personality into the Imperial then produce it.
 
However I'm sure some people are going to love having the Rolls Royce look for a small fraction of the cost......
