HAHAHA! Jayne and Eric can't tell a Chrysler 300***M*** from a 300***C***
1998 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. I loved it, it was great driving it with top down in the summer and it handled well in the winter, never gave me any mechanical problems and never leaked.
Jayne sure does know her stuff, HAHA.
What a bonehead.
I saw this last night on TV.
The host (don't know his name) is a first class idiot. He knocks the woman's choice of the 300 M for being a gas guzzler, then he picks his favorite Chrysler product as the Dode Ram. Huh???
People don't want little ecoboxes (Omni GLH doesn't count)? Fiat is doomed.
Is it hard being the only person on the panel who knows what the hell you're talking about?
And how did nobody pick the Viper?
That was surprisingly lame. 4 out of 5 panelists with little to no knowledge of automotive history.
I can think of other, more important/interesting Chrylsers through time. The Airflow as a pioneer in automotive aerodynamics. The '61 Imperial for being a king of the road, with bullet headlights. As a show car, the Atlantic rocked. The Viper certainly deserves a spot, as does the '57 300C (yes, the real one).
Karl, you got a 2-fer what with Plymouth already being defunct.
I thought the last girl made a good choice.
My fav Chrysler product would be the Eagle Talon. Yes, they were lemons, but I learned to drive on a '90 Talon TSi. That has certain sentimental value.
The Plymouth Duster, in olive metallic, with two-tone olive and gold interior. 'Cause my parents drove it when I was a kid!
I would actually pick the Chrysler Prowler.... Seems like no one remembers it. I thought it was a very cool roadster, and still do actually. The only other american roadster I would buy over it is the SSR!
I wish GM would bring back the SSR, but with a more fuel efficient engine, updated chassis, and better interior. Great vehicle, but just not well executed. Oh a lower price would help too!
as an aside, Karl, you should really update the photo on the Karl on Cars banner....
Other than the Omni GLH (all of which I saw rusting like mad) all these are big cars or race cars.
So why did Viper not make the list?
