Me too!!   That makes me want to  . . .

[General Ryan]

Ha, let them buy em, the rest of the crap they have pimped out, they'll fit right into the "what a waste of time" catagory.

I'd like to see one of them get one, and turn it into a "new" age General with full FLAG paint, that'd open a bunch of eyes, a black guy in a blinged out car with a rebel flag on top HAHA

[TheGhost]

God, I hate rappers, and bling bling shit.....

I can't imagine a more fitting place for the '06 than in the hands of a bunch of low lifes.  How much more pathetic can the '06 saga get?

Ah! There's one of the hooligans now. You mean pull your heads out, right? Relax Mojo. Some people are actually able to multi-task their way through life. Don't assume you completely know someone based on what you see here.

ok i hate to be the one to say it but realy now i think a lot of you people here are a bit closed mined. not to the new charger that thing is just not a charger its a nice looking car but not a charger. but about the bilng bling stuff and what not. i mean realy back in your younger day didnt your parents or some of the old timers complain about slang you guys used and stuff. im not saying its a good thing or what not but i do like a few rap and hip hop songs out . some of them mean a lot you know its not all drugs and gun and bitches realy it gos deeper then that you just have to lisen to the words and under stand what they mean. as far as makeing some cars ugglyer like they do i agree but some look kinda cool too...

Ever since my youth, I've always consistently hated limp-wristed inner city pansies trying to act tough to cover for their latent homosexuality.   This is the car for them.   I just wish they had called it something more urban, like "the Dodge Angrywuss" or something more specific to that demographic.

I find it funny that Daimler-Chrysler snubbed the Dukes of Hazzard movie, but they embrace the rappers.  The vast majority of the US is still rural, y'know.

[Brock Samson]

 Sounds like someone has "issues".

[Dale The Bold]

Sounds like someone has "issues".

I just don't like fakiness and angry people, that's all.  Rap sounds like whining.  "Yeah, boy, I'm all tough, nahsayin'?" 

I just want to say, "There there, urban tough guy, it'll be alright.  Turn that little frown upside down."

[Brock Samson]

 So you don't like fakiness and angry people?.. don't like whining?.. Don't like urban inner city pansies? dont like people trying to act tough?
   Well remove the plank brother.

   btw: I too think it's strange and they'd shun the General but embrace the whatever it is there they're embracing..
but I guess that's the trouble with "Political Correctness".

[Brock Samson]

  The Chrysler Group.
   The American arm of the German-American conglomerate has been living high off of the hog with its 300/300C for such a long time now that things are beginning to be frayed around the edges. With the inevitable slowdown hitting its star car, look to Chrysler to prop up the car with special editions and their last trump card - the convertible version. But that isn't going to fix what's really ailing Chrysler, because they have a product "hole" that's growing by the hour. The Magnum sport wagon is an excellent piece, but it's a glorified niche player in the market.

QUOTE
The big question mark is the Charger. Chrysler marketing operatives are desperate to impart the ruboff "buzz" from the 300C on to its stylistically-challenged four-door, but as one southern Dodge Dealer told us, "That dog won't hunt even with a T-Bone." Chrysler is touting the hip-hop community's embracing of the Charger, but after entering into a formal agreement with Dub magazine at last fall's SEMA show, their credibility is shot. Are the rappers really frothing at the mouth to get their hands on the Charger? Who knows? We don't know how much of it is true and how much of it is Auburn Hills-orchestrated and calculated spin.


Besides the Charger, what do the folks in Auburn Hills have coming? Let's see, the Power Wagon Ram Truck and the 2006 model year's answer to the question that absolutely no one's asking - the unfortunate Jeep Commander. This painful product lull is going to last until Chrysler gets their new smaller car ready, which showed such promise in concept form. But that's a long way away. So, this fall is shaping up to be a double whammy of bad news for Chrysler and its dealers - with no employee discount pricing and no compelling hot products to boast about. As we like to say around here, "not good."

       So Andy, What's your take on all this?..

[Plumcrazy]

Stylistically challenged four door.

That about says it all

    Well remove the plank brother.

You first.  That is if my hasty conclusion that you were angry when you typed that is valid.

Sheesh.   That reply would have made perfect sense if there had been a shred of anger in what I said.   Is there a "proper" way to express dislike for something?   Nothing I said was said angrily, just observationally (if that's a word).   It's like you have to walk on eggshells on the internet.   I sometimes forget to include disclaimers in many of my posts, so if any urban inner city pansies were offended, I apologize.

If I were to drive around with a bullhorn shouting about how much I dislike rap music, now THAT would be ironic/hypocritical.

Quote from article-
“Though the Charger is being heavily promoted to the NASCAR crowd, the interest from the hip-hop world could also give it crossover appeal among different demographic and racial groups.”

So now there marketing cars around racial groups? What is that all about? thats it...i'm gonna sue!

[TheGhost]

And, that says it all.....

[psykicpup]

Actually as a 'new' car its really not to bad...its a shame they all look so alike.....
but I have to agree its NOT a charger.
It seems a bit silly to me to hate something just because you don't agree with the name or the reasoning behind it- for instance I think Bob Geldolf was a bit off -track calling his daughter 'Fifi Tixabelle' but I'm sure you guys wouldn't hold it against her! (something else maybe ..if the opportunity arose - sorry bad pun)
And so.. some rappers we've never heard of like it...good! - someone has to.....
Lets face it not all rappers are black gun wielding pimps (not all...) there is at least one white father of one daughter I can think of without even trying.
How about we don't turn this forum into just a 06 slagging place & have a few generous thoughts now & then!

[Ponch ®]

well said. some of us are mexican gun wielding pimps.......

[andy74]

When idiotic rappers got ahold of them.

[ClassicStack]

After I opened the link and read it, it's sad to say it's all about image. But I think that's how it's always ben. It's pretty simple just come up with a product doesn't matter what it is and put some one next to it who is cool and tuff, or sexy (gotta show the cleavage) and you will sell. Depending on who your target is. Let's say you sell guitar's well you don't want to have a guy with long hair in the commercial that went out in the 80's early 90's gotta have some one with a lot of tattoos and piercing's all over them who can't play a chord. But that's what's in so you gotta do it in order to sell or else you will go out of business. Gotta follow trends to be rich. Which I am far from being wealthy.


Sorry for my ranting

[TeeWJay426]

I really didn't need ANOTHER reason to dislike the Creeder..... looks like I got one anyway!!!!

[chargermad890]

i cant stand rap you cant even understand it and all they do is wave there hands and point at cars and don't even know what they are

[AKcharger]

Rap music is Rad and wholesome!

Hip Hop + Bling Bling + Dodge Creeder  = pure cRAP Gangsta Whip.....

Hey ChargerKid, glad you made it to the site.    I have actually listened to the lyrics some, some are ok, most do seem to have the same lyrics, something like, "I got my 24's, tv's in my doors, tek in my waste, give the hoes a taste, blah, blah, blah," - like Chris Rock said, they will put rims on a toaster.  (sorry if that sounds racist.) 

Tint the windows and get some 24's, wow. 

People have done worse I suppose.

[70charginglizard]

Yeah, 50 cent are a great poster child to represents Chryslers new cherger....

I can just see there new tv add- "Were now makin chergers for the next generation of bustacapers."

WTF is a G-Unit?!?!?!?!?

The Chrysler Group. The first Iacocca spots with Jason Alexander were bad, but the new one with Snoop Dogg is just flat-out grim. Chrysler Group marketing brainiacs admitted that the first spots didn't resonate with young people (Oh, really? Now that's a shock - ed.), so they decided that pairing Snoop with the crusty Chrysler chairman from yesteryear would be brilliant. It's not. Not even close, as a matter of fact. It's one of those "wince" ads that you wish would just go away. Young (and some older) people already know what Snoop's scam is - he's a mercenary who never met a deal he didn't like, and he'll use his self-proclaimed funkitudeiness to achieve whatever end necessary to broaden his bank account. And that's perfectly cool with us. The whole "Snoop" thing on its own is fine when put in perspective. But Snoop in a golf cart with Lee Iacocca? That's just plain stupid. Once again, the problem with the Marketing and PR types out in Auburn Hills is that they only listen to the brilliant cadence of their own thoughts - and no one in the room is sitting there off in the corner saying, what the f--- are you guys thinking? Some day this train wreck will be well and truly over, but until then we'll have to suffer a little longer - and thank our lucky stars for the "mute" button on our TV remotes.

It actually looks more aerodynamic that way.

Seen that commercial.  What the HELL were they thinking?  It's horrible!

[ChargerBill]

BRAIN DEAD FLIPPIN' MAROONS!!! All of them... They're riding the tide of pop culture and embracing what they perceive as "hip and now"...funny how they align themselves with a rappin' racist who's lyrics include lewd a berating acts toward women and hating both cops and 'da man, but decided that "The Dukes of Hazzard" was too controversial. Bunch of hypocrites if you ask me...DODGE is dead.

[hemihead]

DCX has no target. It wanders from having the 06 Creeder claiming it has nothing to do with it's past, then showing it in ads Drag Racing.The Snoop Dog ad is real funny.Snoop Dog is supposed to be this inner city tough guy who is playing Golf at a Country Club?I wonder how the Boys in da' hood feel about him going White Bread?I think they used to say Uncle Tom but now I think they would call him Cracker.

[KMPX2]

LOL

[SeattleCharger]

   Well, he already did something like that in Starsky and Hutch, although he was playing the caddy undercover snitch, wearing those golfing clothes.    Or how about Snoop filming the "girls gone wild".   Did you see the ad for that?  "Watch what happens when Snoop gets the camera on these girls," something like that.   He is a diversified actor when motivated by money/fame.  He was on the man show with those two white guys with their prob. mostly white audience.  He was in the movie "White Boyz".   Why not sell the Charger with Iacocca at a country club?  Seems pretty normal for Snoop.   

[LahTera]

Well, what I can't stand is COUNTRY music.  Ack!  To me, that's all whiney most the time.  You know, like Tom Petty.

Now, back to the new Charger.  IT SUCKS!!!  That is NOT a Charger!!!  What a disgrace to Mopars!

Ford is doing a better job at getting its Mustang closer to the old, real thing than Chrysler is doing for the Charger by far.  If Chrysler was smart, they'd make a 1968-72 Charger pretty much the way they used to make 'em.  THEN they wouldn't even have to market it ... people would be lining up to buy them.

I'm constantly having to say, "Not for sale."  It's getting to be where those are the first words out of my mouth when someone starts noticing my Charger.

I'd say that says something about the original car!

LahTera

[SeattleCharger]

   LahTera, you should start an '06 thread.   We could all bash on it some more,lol.     

    It could be better,   Maybe there is hope, if they fire the guy's running Daimler and hire a couple members from here, they could turn things around.  

[SeattleCharger]

    But it could be worse.   The Mustang is pretty cool now, and the Mustang II?   Hopefully they will figure out they should make the Charger cooler.

[JimShine]

The whole Bling Bling thing is on its way out the door. It is so commercial it is invading adult mainstream in commercials and mainstream movies. It is on the fast track to no longer being rebellious, which will kill its appeal to the youth. I for one cannot wait for that day to come!
