needs more grille if you ask me. Bring back the 9-slot!

Back in the day, this would have been a FIERY DEATH recall article here on Jalopnik. Oh the times they are a changin’.

Luxury sedans are dead. I’m not even sure Mercedes cares about the S class anymore.

Rechargeable batteries do not use elemental lithium. You can actually put lithium-ion rechargeable battery fires out with water. Most lithium fires are from the cells shorting internally, overheating, and the electrolyte burning.

Disposable lithium batteries on the other hand contain pure lithium. But I wouldn’t think…

Recognizing drug abuse as an issue of addiction, which is a physiological and/or psychological illness, makes comedy questionable. Not wholly off-limits, but I suspect that if Wastelands 3 was clever about its addiction humor Ari would not have objected as much. You can punch down but you have to be smart. What Ari…

I think Kelvin backed into a valid point there, albeit not the one he was really trying to make. The experience of Black in America is not the experience of Black in other places around the world, and people in two different places with two different experiences can have equally valid interpretations of the same event.

You must have been riding in one seriously clapped out old one. Because I have them for rentals all the time in 300S form (and the occasional Limited, sad it’s going away), and I think they are pretty great. Nice enough, quick enough, quiet and comfortable, and they go down the road much like the old Mercedes they are…

Yeah I was scratching my head at the heavy revisionist history happening about ‘90s Chrysler. They had hype, the LH, the Neon, the redone Caravan and Ram had a ton of acclaim, they won awards and people were excited for their product. In the ‘90s, Chrysler was pretty good at generating excitement, and the Prowler was…

No Chrysler apologist here, but I think you whiffed on the context of where Chrysler was in the early-to-mid-90's when this was designed and rolled out:

Yeah, the framing of 90's Chrysler is off in this article. Also, that 1994 Ram really transformed the Dodge Ram from a very distant 3rd place to Ford/GM to a true competitor. Chrysler in the 90's was putting out creative products*.

Power density.

Not to mention the amazing performance secret that was the ACR Neon.

The Prowler was essentially a mass-produced street rod. If you were disappointed by its performance, don’t ever drive a real street rod. The fastest ones perform well only in a straight line, until you need to stop. They are built to cruise and be noticed, which the Prowler did well.

All the stars in the heavens are yours today.

You know, classic hot rods were/are exactly like this... they look cool and are generally shit to drive. So *technically* Chrysler nailed the spirit of a true hot rod.

No Chrysler apologist here, but I think you whiffed on the context of where Chrysler was in the early-to-mid-90's when this was designed and rolled out:

Jalopnik writer when they see a underpowered, weird, limited edition and unreliable car only available overseas:

And right there, you just wrote a much more potentially interesting premise than the writers of this thing did. I’m picturing a black comedy of errors where these absurdly high teens keep accidentally killing people and trying to cover it up but are too high to realize that it’s legal. Still maybe better served as a…
