Re: IML: Imperial Concept

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or the Sebring? (And FYI, it looks like the new Sebring convertible will be a retractable hardtop, which might beat GM's seemingly stillborn G6 retractable to market.)

On the Imperial side of it, I'll be at Detroit for the media reveal of concepts. I'll try to take pix if they show an Imperial and forward them to the webmasters for posting to the IML that evening. (Webmasters, please advise where I can send them.)

What about the Crossfire?

  Jeff;
  It's curious that my posting only included 1/2 a line about the
  Pacif@#$
  and and a paragraph and a half about a new Imperial yet the
  respondents
  chose to respond about the prior. I find it frustrating to no end why
  people
  seem unable to go beyond skimming the first four lines of a posting
  before
  firing off a response, and a somewhat irrelevent one at that. In
  mentioning
  the Pacif@#$ I was only attempting to point out that it was the
  closest
  thing to an S.U.V or truck that Chrysler has put a higher end label
  on then
  Dodge and it bombed. One can talk it up about what a nice vehicle it
  is, so
  were Edsels, but none of them were racing out of the showrooms. Given
  this
  why would they attempt to market a new Imperial with a lackluster
  product as
  it's base? Again for those that missed it here are my Imperial
  related
  comments from the last posting:
  "The only sin that I can point to in Chrysler's latest line-up of
  cars is
  the lack of a two door body style, and perhaps a rag top. If Chrysler
  were
  to bring back the Imperial, the 300 series would be a good base for
  it as
  someone suggested, but with a longer wheelbase. They would also need
  to
  spruce the interior and exterior trim; less cheasy plastic and vinyl
  with
  perhaps wood veneer, metal brightwork, and better quality upholstery.
  Again
  I think that they need a two door body style and perhaps think about
  offering a limousine and a rag top. I also think that a revived
  version of
  the split grille and sparrow strainers would clinch it."

  Folks,
  Please remember this is the IMPERIAL mailing list!
  NOT the I wonder what car daimler chrysler will bring
  out next. Some of the messages are getting pretty
  far away from IMPERIAL ONLY content.
  Thanks for your cooperation!
