Well, if you're in Sales and Marketing at Chrysler, the name means almost nothing.   :eyes:


Drache

The story I heard was that it was named after the War Horse to compete against the Mustang! AKA the bigger horse beats up the smaller horse! Mustangs are fast over long term, but a war horse (usually Percherons) are only fast in short gallops and tire fast due to allot more body mass.

Now mix a Percheron and a thoroughbred like my horse and you've got a good combination.  :2thumbs:
Dart
Racing
Ass
Chasing
Hellion
Extraordinaire

Back N Black

I think the meaning is to have 4 doors.   :D
