The back of this thing looks like the most recent Camry Solara.

This definitely looks like a Cutlass or a Regal...It has Cutlass wheels.

Similar idiot "probable cause" move...

This is a blatant rip off of Bangle flame surfacing. But it's done oh so right.

This seems like it would be a good bootlegger if Germany ever, for some reason, decided to enact a liquor prohibition law.

@Turboner: I thought all LX (and LY) cars had a Mercedes-evolved 5 bar multilink IRS?

Oh my God I thought the reflection on the fenders (viewing the small pre-jump picture) were those Buick-esque portholes that people have been putting on their "ricers" and "hoopties"...thank God that it isn't.

I saw the picture and said "Oh God!" It gets in on looks alone. Now I will read about it.

My brother got me this exact CB last Christmas and I hooked up a roof-mount 36inch K30 whip antenna to it.

Imperials were very similar in all aspects. Anyone who was anyone had an Imperial, especially an Imperial Ghia limosine. The Kennedys had a ton of them.

@MagnificentBastard: I'd rather wait and see what everyone says after they drive it rather than cynically assume the worst because of an equally cynical opinion on society/consumerism as a whole.

@MagnificentBastard: this car is a textbook example of capturing non-quantifiable value. your self reference criteria obviously means that you don't intrinsically value the challenger at $40,000, but everyone who has put money down so far does.

@MagnificentBastard: apparently there are a shit ton of suckers that bought muscle cars in the 60s and 70s. I have no idea why a modern interpretation of a muscle car would still be big enough for 4 or 5 people, a little bit heavy, and have sales mix that was over 50% automatic.

These were made in my hometown and my uncles and grandpa were all laid off when they left...kinda sad but those times would end everywhere across the midwest manufacturing belt in the coming years.

Both Purdue University (maybe West Lafayette, IN) PD and Indiana University PD (IUPD) have them, although a couple appear to be police models and some do not. Also, some Indiana Sheriff departments are using them.

Is that Late Night with Conan O'Brien's Andy Richter as the dad?

Oh shit, that was out loud.

GLH no question about it, the sickest FWD hoonage available from the awesomest decade ever.

Holy shit, when the picture first loaded, I thought it was a Volvo. It is truly a sad day when Jaguars and Volvos are indistinguishable to a sober person. Thanks a whole hell of a lot, FoMoCo.

As Stephen Colbert has said, #1 Threat: bears!
