Another Imperial?/graduation project for chrysler/the Netherlands

Hello,

I am now graduating on a luxury car for Chrysler, with the idea of bringing back a true luxury car for Chrysler that can compete with Lincoln and Cadillac (once more)....

Of course it's a question mark wether to name the car Imperial or something else.

But the meaning of Imperial is; everything, a total of all things....., so maybe a total of all good styling taste....

But how do you Americans pronounce the word Imperial??

1 is it IMPIRIAL

2 or is it IMPEHRIAL

I think the word is also maybe to foreign sounding for most Americans....Anyway I think it's a good name, as if the word can contain to have more luxury than Cadillac and Lincoln combined....

Thanks, Dirk

>You may be right Peter. There has been a big push for retro-styling and, as you suggest in names such as the 300M. Someone else pointed out, though, that since no one remembers the name Imperial, Chrysler would have no reason to bring it back.

>At first I thought he was wrong about no one remembering the name, but actually, when I drive my Imperials I am constantly bombarded with questions like "What is an Imperial?". My usual response is "You're looking at one, the best cars from Chrysler at the time". Very few people remember them unless a family member had one or they drove one themselves, even in the old car community.

>If the company brought back the name they would have to do it with the intent of making a big profit. The name never sold a lot of cars before, so why would that be any different now. Part of the mystic of the 300 letter series was that it was known as a limited production performance car. Also, the 300 non-letter series nameplate was very successful on its own. This was really never the case for the Imperial. It's "limited production" was mostly due to its lack of success in the marketplace.

>Time will tell, but I think it would be very surprising for them to bring back the name Imperial.
