Good riddance!

So glad to see this thing gone! Reviled by men of principle, yet adored by self-indulgent hedonists, I will not be sorry to see it go.

DD#1 had one as a rental for a week. It didn't seem terrible. It sure seemed a lot nicer than the car it replaced.

I remember about a year ago when FCA was blaming its poor sales on consumers' desire to drive big SUVs instead.

Is it possible that it was just a E36 M3ty, uninspiring car that nobody really wanted because there were much better alternatives out there?

Thought you were talking about something else today.

Nevermind

Since this was in the Off Topic area I was hoping for more of this:

Rumor is the car that FCA's going to replace it with is vastly more hedonistic and has a very glitchy ECU.

What did you expect? It was imported from Detroit.

It wasn't a hateful car. I sure as hell thought it was a better car than the Sebring, which granted..isn't saying much. I still hate the Dart more, when will that die?

Does this mean a return of fine Corrinthian leather??

Well, you know about rumours. Kinda sounds like fake news to me.

I had one as a rental once. It was the worst driving experience of any newish car I've ever driven. I didn't realize they still even made them, I thought they ended a few years ago.

It was click bait, plain and simple, just like this image is completely random.

Dominican Republic?

The 200 is a bona-fide hunk of crap. A good buddy has one and curses it every day, seemingly for different reasons.

Detroit will make a comeback and so will the Dominican Republic.

They are famous for their leather.

You would think that after the Sebring there was nowhere to go but up, but no, FCA chose to bust out the shovel and go for broke.

What I hear is:
From this day forward, America First.

Yes, Good Riddance indeed.

Except it was just a rebadged Italian car. I cracked up when someone told me they only buy American cars as they opened the door on their new Dart.

Heard a radio commercial yesterday from some dealership that said "We have all the American trucks..." then left out naming the Tundra.

I thought this was gonna be a flounder, I'm a little disappointed, I love a good train wreck.
