Ingo ◊ 2009-07-21 19:01	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.

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.

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

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
