Bigger is always better and thank you to everyone's criticism on the article saved me having to even look it up.
Sacrilege! The 25 Worst Cars Of All Time
- Thread starter sauterd
- Start date
I sold several Prowlers when they were new and I don't remember anyone saying the 3.5l had lots of giddyup but they also weren't buying it to go fast. It was strictly a cruiser and that's the type of buyer that was buying them - the WOW factor offset the lack of jump ..that said I did roast those 20" tires a time or two. Most of the buyers I dealt with had other Mopars in the garage to fullfill the need for speed. I'd drive one today given the chance.
Nothing beats the ride of a big car!!

That's exactly what I would do... cruise in it all day long
Or you can lose an Arizona trooper while climbing the Yarnell grade:
...all while getting paid. Or at least that's what I do with them. The handling was insane. It's like a Lotus with bigger tires.
Just a couple points that I restate every time I see retarded Monday-morn quarterbacking:
1) that "V6" made 255 HP, more than most any V8 of the era. Quartermiles were flat 15s.
2) the whole car, including the suspension, was aluminum. That was largely the point of this engineering effort.
3) the only thing that limited sales were the ability to produce the hand-built car (and source components from low-volume suppliers).
4) most of that engineering team left Chrysler after becoming disillusioned with Daimler management. They went to Ford and created the GT.
5) the other purpose was to kick off a Plymouth renniesance (PT Cruiser was the follow up) Daimler vampires ruined this as well.

I just breezed through the authors choices and he clearly has he head stuck up in a dark place, he is wrong on some but I guess he has to write something to make a buck. Do more research though.

Unbeknownst to the members here, I had a second wheel lip incident recently (same location, btw) that I chose not to share out of sheer embarrassment.
I'm running out of sources for good wheel lip moldings.
I should have gone the 9' door instead of the 8.
OUCH!!!

I never cared what others think about the cars I like
Consider it:
How often did you get respect for your C-Body at car shows in the older days, lets say 10-20 years ago?
Most people are into Muscle cars, Hot Rods etcetc and don't care about old Full SIze cars. IMHO it just changed a bit in the last years

One had to be a weird as a kid to be into C-bodies as an adult.

If not a Prius, then an inferior, undersized, under-powered hybrid, which represents this author's manhood quite well. "Sackman?" Yes, a glib little micro-cephalic-millenial Know-Nada.
I WONDER how the little dweeb could have missed the Chevy Vega! Talk about GARBAGE! Well, 'nuff keystroking this sad fool.

That "article" is actually quite old, I'd say I've seen it first at least ten years ago. So this is some kind of re-tweet. Back then I contacted the author and let him know my opinion about his opinion on the Imperial. He reacted very defensive and I felt he had no clue about cars in general. So just ignore this weird and meaningless concoction of words.

I went to Egypt once and was totally disappointed by the big pyramid. More than 450 ft high and only one entrance! One of the worst buildings of all time!

This is where the internet sucks.
A moron blogs a small click-bait misinformed story a long time ago and everybody is giving it credence by thrashing it around.
Ignore it. It means nothing but it will if you keep talking it up...

These "10 most/least/best/worst...etc" click bait posts are like a cold; please don't spread them.

so you're saying don't put them on here because may take them seriously?? Sorry, I'm confused. as I stated before on the other one, i only because i thought the fact that this stuff is out there may be of interest to some of you. If that's not the case, please tell me, as I will have extra time with not fooling with it....

Oh goodness man, please don't burn a single calorie reposting these! If you haven't figured it out, they just write a bunch of crap so people will be "outraged" and share it with their Facebook buddies (or websites like this). That equals visits to the page (clicks) which equals ad revenue.
Women with big boobs is the #1 topic, stupid car rankings is probably #2!
Just another form of spam.
