Dodge has gone crazy!
 
Have you guys seen this Dodge Durango commercial in which a Durango passes a Porsche Boxster on a freeway, at the same time hauling a trailer, and then at the end of the commercial, supposedly, the Durango is going to take on the Carrera Cabrio, while at the same time going up the hill? This is the most absurd, and Porsche insulting commercial ever. This 5.9 Magnum V-8 Durango (included in the commercial) has nothing against Boxster. Yes, its V-8 has more ponies and torque, but really, Boxster can kill any Dodge model (except Viper) at any time of day and night. Boxster has even better mileage then Durango, and 5.9 liter Durango (aprx $39K shown) cost only $5K less then a Boxster. From now one I have a lot of beef towards Dodge. I was even beginning to like their latest models. Screw Dodge!

Dodge is making a V10 pick-up to compete with Ford's lightening which should be interesting.

Yeah, it was the Dodge Ram SRT-10. Dodge showed it last year, but I haven't heard any thing about it being sold, or at least I haven't seen one on the street.

Dodge has ALREADY had a v-10 pickup...but it was NOT a sport truck....was a less expensive option for getting more power without getting a deisel. and do not confuse the V-10 truck motor with the V-10 of the Viper...they are NOT the same engine.

yeah I know about the work truck with the V-10, but this a street truck aimed @ performance with the V-10. Its been on HP Tv or one on the TNN shows. 9 MGH @ best & its a tuned V-10 like the Viper.

although it looks nice...and probably runs like a scualded ass dog....AND would probably sell like crazy.....I wouldn't hold my breath for it to come to dealers. not with that kind of mileage! lol

But it is so insulting to a Porsche fan like me. I have nothing against Dodge, but you don't see a commercial where Suzuki Aerio passes a 360 Modena on a racetrack! That is just too funny!

I heard that the new Neon was redesigned as well......its suppose to look pretty good, but I haven't seen it yet....
anyone got pics ?

Mxyzptlk Apr 30, 2002 04:57 PM

Well maybe if it was the Dodge Razor.

Dodge in the same sentence as Porsche is offensive
 
I won't hide my opinion (which is supported by hard data) that Dodges are pieces of shit; nearly every one of them.

Glad someone else called bullshit on that commercial, as no Dodge (as someone else said, maybe except for the Viper, but even then I might expect a Boxter S would still win) will beat a Boxter. That's the stupidest, most offensive and baseless commercial I've ever seen; along with the old Oldsmobile Achieva commercials that had some pompous guy saying something like, "Yeah, you know the Achieva stomps on the competition". The Achieva was one of the ugliest and lamest cars ever produced. Oldsmobile deserves to get axed after that ad campaign. Good riddance.

Anyway, screw "Dodge". Get out of my face with any Dodge, anywhere, even coming close to a Porsche. Yes, yes, the commercial is supposed to be a joke, maybe, but it's not funny.

And yes, I've driven a Boxter S. Yeah, it's fast, and it handles like no other.

I heard its gonna be a Turbo :rolleyes: Just more stuff to break on an already broken car :D

Yep Dodges, Chrysler in general are crap. Never been in one that wasn't. I like some of the newer styling. Put a japanese engine in one of them...

FunkRider May 1, 2002 12:02 AM

Don't you guys get that commercial? Its a joke, everyone knows a porsches are known for being fast cars, and they would wreck a Durango. Its like when I joke around with my BIG friends that i can out bench press all of them, everyone knows i'm kidding (because i'm skinny, lol). If it had of been a lesser car like a civic or something the joke wouldn't work. Don't take it for more than it is.

traffik May 1, 2002 10:12 AM

Absolutely right.
And by the way guys,It's true that dodge cars are not reliable.But the next turbo neon will go from 0-60 under 6 f#ckin' seconds.Bring any Boxter next to it,it'll get SPANKED.
