What Happened to MOPAR Muscle?: Chrysler Uses Earth Day to Introduce Peapod

I just don't know how I can wear my Dodge merchandise with pride anymore. My favorite of the Big Three, Chrysler with the big Hemi, the classic Challengers, Chargers, and Coronets, and the exotic V-10 Viper, may deserve their place in the American industry graveyard with their Earth Day announcement that they are producing and taking orders for the Peapod coffin, I mean car. A car so ugly, so earthly, that I have just lost any respect I had left for Chrysler after the bailouts. It looks like a Neon with anorexia.

They are promoting the car as an Apple dork's dream. You can use your iPhone to turn it on. Oh joy. The squirrels under the hood probably aren't even powerful enough to charge your iPhone when your electronic iPhone key fails thanks to a low battery. I low battery isn't the real concern. Considering my PT Cruiser convertible can use the Peapod to play Dukes of Hazzard, you might as well call this car a coffin.

As Chrysler nears its death rattle, the Peapod isn't the car you want to introduce to American despite the pressure Obama is putting on the company to go green. Only Americans with a green death wish feeling guilty they keep trees alive with their CO2 output could get excited about this car. The numbers in the latest polls show Americans are doubting the existence of global warming and are starting to see the real intentions of the government with their bad science lesson. This car was developed because the government has set up the scenario to tax Americans more and rob them of their freedoms. This car is as good of a symbol of the coming hammer and sickle tyranny as anything else I have seen released during the Obama administration.

The car should begin at $12,500 making it an expensive battery powered tin can. Maybe Chrysler can advertise it as a package deal. Save money, buy your next car and coffin. Just sign on the dotted line.

From what I have seen today, Chrysler is officially dead. This is what your tax dollars are paying for with the auto bailouts--electric deathtraps. We saw GM's Segway project, and now we look at Chrysler laugh at the taxpayers. Both these projects are shameful and aren't going to save either company.
