Is this not one of the ugliest cars ever designed and built?



The interior looks nice though:

Are you 12 or something? It looks like half the cars that were around in the 80s.

Love them. Also love the Peugeot 604 of that era, too.

Just as bad as almost any other car which has ever been sold in Europe within a million miles of the "Chrysler" name!

Know of them but can't remember ever seeing one on the road.

A neighbour of ours had the predecessor - the Chrysler 180, that was as rare as hen's teeth also. Like an overgrown Avenger.

Plenty of great looking 80s cars around, I'd say it looks worse smile And yes, I was around in the 80s. And the 70s. smile

I always liked the Talbot Rancho. You can see where Landrover got their idea for the Discovery ten years later...

You're right. When I saw the front grille I thought AM Lagonda too.

On the upside, they were RWD and the top models had a 170hp straight six iirc.
