S.C.V.-plate, so from the Vaticane. Probably faked, because it's not very believable, that they have used a real "Papamobile". And not believable either, that someone with a lower position than the Pope would have a 600 Pullman for use. @Max: THIS is a REAL 600. |

Maybe - but the impudent 600-logo used by Dodge still makes me mad. Even 21 years after I've recognized it for the first time. It was at my school-exchange to Vancouver. My friend was a bit irritated, when I suddenly started to shout around, while walking along the street. |

I honestly don't understand why you care so much, it's only a little piece of plastic The whole reason they used number names was to evoke thoughts of Mercedes and BMW, so obviously they are going to copy them somewhat. Plus a name is just a name, often times it doesn't really represent the true meaning of a car, especially in the case of soul-less "number" names that are stupid and have absolutely no character. I would still like it even if it was called "Dodge Stinky Pile o' Poo", becuase it's not the name that matters, it's the car. |

There were also 600s by Fiat, Seat, Zastava, Daf, BMW and probably many, many others... |

Good point, so why be mad at Dodge specifically? -- Last edit: 2009-07-22 00:54:24 |

Sorry, DynaMike, you haven't really understand, what I mean. Have you seen a Dodge-600 badge? It's the style of it - because it's a copy of the Mercedes-badge. This is the reason, not the "600" for itself. It's an incredible impudence, that the -not in the Premium class located- company Dodge has mounted such a badge on this junk-bucket of a K-Car. The badge of a handmade precious, one of the greatest high-class-premium-cars in the world's history (for me nearly nothing else can hold with a 600 ) Sorry, Max, the design is a matter of taste, but it's a technical and economical fact, that the K-Cars (at least all US made cars from that time) belonged to the coffin-nails of the US car-industry. By their design, their reliabiilty, quality and at least reputation, too. A is not neccessary, because it's not to annoy you, it's a fact. -- Last edit: 2009-07-23 09:43:06 |

Aha, it's only plastic - Mercedes has always used chromated aluminium, so not even by the material Dodge couldn't hold with Mercedes Benz. |
