Dear Chrysler, Nobody will ever be happy with what you do with Jeep.....so, please just do whatever you have to to make money, so that you can continue to sell a badass vehicle like the Wrangler. Signed, Me

I think Toyota already gave him one:

I don't know if it's fake or not. Here's a better scan from the actual magazine article: Looks like they have good tips for next month!

Thanks to "nitroram33" on Allpar.com forums

Yeah, it's different from the concept.....but it's also pretty close. You have to remember, the concept design was pretty "out there" also. From: http://stratusphere.net/forums/index.php?act=home

All hail, King of Ugly Trucks!!???

So, you fall into the "hate it" group?

It's called "Love It or Hate It", and it's what they are aiming for. They can't compete with Camcords by making a vanilla vehicle. They make a vehicle that polarizes, and the people that like it might actually want one, with little to no discounts.....and the people that don't like it wouldn't buy it anyway.

Oops....I actually meant to compare the new Yukon. But guess what???? There's even $2000 cash back on the brand new Yukon.....and a mid-level Yukon bases for about $6000-$7000 more then the Aspen Limited.

Sounds like this guy has a problem with GM and DCX. Just check out his import humping web page.

I just checked Yahoo Autos, and found out that the 07 Envoy has $1500 - $2000 cash back right now. That's more than the Aspen!! ....and the Envoy looks really nice, and is a brand new design.

Big deal. I bought a 300 right when they came out, and also got $1000 cash back. It was for using Chrysler Financial to finance the vehicle. It's a way for Chrysler to get people to use their financial arm. They more than make up for it in finance charges. Also......the sky is falling......the sky is falling. Stupid media.

Neon: 2007 Sebring: Yep.....almost the same.

People don't want low and wide any more. Maybe wide, but low is for sports cars. People want to sit up higher and have a commanding view of the road....probably due to people getting used to SUVs. People feel safer up higher, and the Imperial has a safe (tank-like) commanding appearance. The Imperial is probably pretty wide, it's just it's tallness that makes it appear somewhat narrow.

The current Pacifica is built on it's own unique platform. They will probably discontinue using this unique platform, and build a new crossover on a different shared platform. Maybe the next gen LX platform, called LY?? No car company can afford not to have a crossover at this point.

They review head rest design, but also do a rear collision simulation to try and back up their evaluation of the headrest design. However, you can't discount this claim about the Corolla, whether you agree with the IIHS rear crash results or not: Oh, and I don't think you can say that headrests and bumpers are only tested for insurance claim issues. The 5 mph bumper has to do with collision damage $$, and the headrest has to do with safety. I don't think they are judging the headrests on if they will break or not in a rear impact.....because they are worried about replacing them.

They just farmed info from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). So, who created the misleading info? They are going to keep reporting these "bad" results until all manufacturers make side airbags standard.....and jack the price of all cars up another $1000. However, the "bad" results were mostly on vehicles without optional side airbags.....except for the Corolla and the Suzuki whatever, which also had POOR (the worst) rear impact ratings.

Forbes Magazine's least safe 2007 models in no particular order: Toyota Corolla sedan without optional airbags Chevrolet Cobalt sedan without optional airbags Ford Focus sedan Mazda3 sedan Suzuki Aerio sedan with side airbags Suzuki Forenza sedan with side airbags Saturn Ion http://www.forbes.com/home/2006/10/30/safe..._1031lsafe.html

That's about $4000.00.

Sorry I didn't scour all of the forums to look for a topic on this. But seriously, I thought only GM stuff was in the SEMA show forums.

I guess it's supposed to look more like this drag Challenger from Dick Landy:
