Now that the Chrysler Group is out on its lonesome, it's clear that we'll finally be getting the products we wanted but didn't clear the German bossmen. Take, for example, the two debuts that added more heat to the Hotlanta Auto Show today, the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger DUB Editions. Is DUB even a magazine anymore, or just a gang of guys who slap huge wheels on cars and get press (perhaps created by themselves) for doing so?
The move is likely a counter to Ford's Funkmaster Flex Editions and the very real possibility of some 50 Cent-badged Pontiacs on the horizon, and both models "include more than $5600 worth of upgrades for $3850." Those upgrades include 20-inch chrome wheels, added chrome accents, a 13-speaker Kicker surround sound stereo, and, for the Dodge, a decklid spoiler. We know you want one. Both will go on sale this spring, a limited run of 1385 Chryslers selling at $33,140 and a full 2180 Dodges being offered up at $30,235. Destination charges are included, while dignity is not.

Speak for yourself...
Joe Rogan on Kellogg's dropping Michael Phelps:I mean, do you guys ever think about what you sell? Pop tarts? Are you kidding me? I would be willing to bet that 50% of the people buying pop tarts are stoned out of their ****ing minds ... There’s nothing quite like being stoned out of your mind at 2am watching a Chuck Norris movie and eating a bowl of fruit loops.

"We know our customers are passionate about their vehicles, so partnering with automotive industry lifestyle gurus at DUB Magazine enables us to offer special-edition vehicles like these through our dealerships," said . "Loaded with unique interior and exterior features or 'bling,' the 'DUB Edition' Chrysler 300 Touring and Dodge Charger SXT models make a bold statement."
I read that as "We know our customers have no taste and are too in debt to go out and buy rimz of their own yo, so we partnered up with the people that make those awesome Dub stickers that we see affixed to our cars all the time outside of the meth houses...and bought some for ourselves. This way, we are able to package bits and pieces of already existing mopar equipment that consist of shiny bits and put them on chargers...but get this...they will say DUB on them!!! This way we are able to offer the same thing weve been offering to dealerships...but this time we actually hope to sell something...to someone with bad credit. I mean S#*t thats why we did it to our base models, because these idiots couldn't actually afford the hemi anyways."

I hereby annex this thread in the name of the MX-5 Miata Roadster, the single most important invention in the history of mankind.
I'm sure the package will be appealing to some people, but it seems to me that the people to whom the DUB name carries cachet would want even bigger wheels and an even louder stereo. It's too "safe" for that crowd.

Auto lifestyle magazine? Lifestyle magazine basically means women's fashion magazine. Sounds about right.

Once people see the 20-inch wheels and listen to the 13-speaker KICKER surround-sound system, they'll feel like they're in a show car, but with a factory-backed warranty."
Didn't know either of these would void a warranty (nor any "feature" i read about).
I'd say this car is for people with more money than brains, but $30k isn't exaxtly a lot of money (for a new car). I wonder how they're functional with that little grey matter?
What they SHOULD have done was take out the springs and then find a way to fit tires off a 13 inch rim onto a 20 inch rim.
THATS what TCL is waiting for .

It's hard to imagine another car reaching a higher state of perfection than the F1. Others have come along, a few were even faster, but none have been so inherently RIGHT as this car.

I couldn't have said it better.
If Barbie is soo popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Does a slightly upsized wheel and some tasteful chrome trim actually trigger the horseshit tourettes we're seeing in this thread?
'cause if you slapped those wheels and small chrome highlights on an Audi, people would be slipping in puddles of their own reproductive juices trying to find words to explain its brilliance.

While this is not my sort of "thing", I am amused at how one type of automotive self-expression is somehow judged to be worse than another. Put limousine tint, aftermarket wheels, bodykits, and custom exhaust an Audi, VW, Honda, or BMW, and the readers of The Car Lounge are typically breaking their fingers to quickly type words of approval. Change the brand of car, make some relatively tame but noticeable mods, associate these mods with an "Urban" crowd and music form, and this blog starts to drift into stereotyping. I suppose that if you find yourself not liking some form of expression because of the "type" of people associated with it, it might be a real good time to take a good look at yourself.

There are plenty of existing technologies that produce emissions free electricity. There isn't one single technology in the world that produces emissions free gasoline.
