Suddenly, this excerpt came to mind there, Shakey...


Dakota tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. However, in business we often try other strategies with dead horses, including the following:

1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Say things like, "This is the way we have always ridden this horse."
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
9. Comparing the state of dead horses in todays environment.
10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead."
11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.
12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."
14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
15. Do a Cost Analysis study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.
17. Declare the horse is "better, faster and cheaper" dead.
18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.
20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.


Sorry for the thread hijack, but in some respects a discussion about dead horses will be about as productive.

We asked Chrysler's design chief Trevor Creed why they hadn't hidden the rear door handles like on an Alfa 156. He said it was a fussy thing to do (as in, too much trouble). He added that the market for five-seat four-doors is far bigger than for two-doors, and the priority was to maximise sales. No-one would have questioned the strategy if it had been called anything other than Charger. -- Top Gear

Hemigeno you forgot #22 - When it doesn't sell paint it a Hi Impact color and add lots of stickers from real cars.

My alliegance is and always will be to the old stuff, but I've always thought the new "Charger" looks overall OK, I just take issue with it being called a Charger with 4 doors. Thats really the base for my dissapointment with it. Some of the styling is ok, I think it should have played alot more off of the older 2nd gen stuff. The new Challenger now, looks perfect for a new car! Just enough of the old classic style, with just enough new upgrades. I do like the wide big rear shoulders of the new Charger but the way it meshes into the rear of the car just isnt right. Overall, an ok looking car and its not a performance slouch,  but lets stop calling it a charger please.

I agree. I miss the days when the name meant something. Let me reminisce a bit.

So this horse just walked up and said, "I'm tired of people beating me like a mule!"  :horse:

To avoid the whole dead horse thing, the poll should have been inconspicuously phrased as "What do you think of that fat ugly chick that re-named herself Pamela Anderson?"

So as long as they keep recycling old blunders and don't create any original ones it's all good.....

.... or maybe Super Bee & Daytona sedans are the norm now... along with Daytona & GTX pickup trucks....  :eyes:

Ahhh, now you are singing a different tune. The bottom line is, the guys on this site who have the blindfolds on (and you all know who you are), refuse to remember that these "badges" have been abused many times before 2005. I don't care if this is the only 4 door of the bunch, it's way better looking than the late 70's and early 80's Chargers....but that's just my opinion.  :wave:

ps- The GTX was not a Chrysler done truck. It was an aftermarket deal.

pss- I'll bet It's killing all the die hards that this stupid poll is not a landslide.  :icon_smile_wink:

Ghoste

Not a landslide?  Barf and hate it are pretty much the same thing so add those two numbers together and the fence sitting choices hardly condone the car.  I'd say that if the numbers aren't what you consider a landslide, they sure still point to the lovers of it as being in the minority.
