<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3124477, member: 76194"]The funny thing is that you don't have to go too many years back before this commercial was made to disprove the notion that America got cars right. While American cars today are ok, there was a time within most of our lifetimes that America made some real lemons in the car department. Perhaps none worse than the 1990 Chrysler Imperial.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]795820[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>You'd be forgiven for thinking you were staring at a mid-1970's vehicle instead of something from the 1990s. Hard to believe the nation that produced this vehicle was putting men on the moon as recently as 18 years previously. If the tired design didn't get you, the horrible suspension, non-existent breaks, or unresponsive steering would probably ensure you'd end up rolled over in a ditch sooner or later. That is provided the car actually worked in the first place, and provided the body panels didn't simply fall off or rust to oblivion before you had a chance to take it for it's first spin around the block.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]795822[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This was supposed to be a luxury sedan, but the interior screamed OLD AND CHEAP. No tree or animal died to make that interior, instead it is a triumph of man-made synthetics. I think any poor unfortunate soul that was unlucky enough to be gifted one by their loved ones would have worn a paper bag over their heads as they drove this around town, less they be recognized and have their reputation ruined forever. Anyone under 55 years of age would sooner have walked or ridden a horse and wagon to work than be seen near this thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
