krochus was it a retarded squad car, i hate chevies but old cop cars are so hot rodable. sorry i meant that i fundamenatally hate chevies. I like cars that some poor schlub like myself has built , restored, hot rodded etc. so just because i hate the fact that it was a chevy it is still cool. Hell how can a turd that wants to make his 86 chy. 5th ave. into a beemer killer, once his duster is done talk about anyone elses ride. i bought those cragar super 8 wheels for my duster, i'm kinda going for a circle jerk look, and that was the only way to get the look and use modern 17 in rubber. I think they will look great with a red stripe like a bart or bassett. i didnt buy the center caps to maintain the image.

Well I wasn't trying to turn this isn't the Dodge/Plymouth Aspen/Volare love forum. Really I just saw the ad for it and wanted to hurl. Soccer moms can't have so much money that they'd be willing to trade in their Caravans for a butchered up and maligned car from the 70's that was actually useful.
Next thing you know Dodge will come out with the Fury 3 as a light pickup!

The "Fabulous Hudson Hornet" was raced with much success by Marshal Teague in the early 1950's. It used a 308 CID flathead in-line six with "Twin H-Power", or, two carbs.

Well, back to what I think was the original topic...
I actually drove one of these things (Chrysler had test-drives at the Boston Auto Show), and I have to say I was impressed by it, for what it was. It reminded me of a Lincoln Navigator ('01) that I drove once, and seemed very manageable for it's size. I don't want one, but if I was in the market for a big luxury SUV, it would be high on my list.
I agree that it's rather a stupid name, but not because I feel the new SUV will tarnish the name "Aspen." I don't know about the rest of the country, but up here in snow (and salt) country, the Aspen/Volare twins are remembered only for their remarkable ability to rust into oblivion in no time at all.
