We all remember the 2008 photo showing how much larger the new Challenger was compared to the 1970 model. Well, our Challengers now seem a lot smaller compared to the huge Charger.
Huge is good. It distances America even further from the Eurosnots and their ever-shriking Prius-tier cars. I want to see a 1972-size Chrysler 300 with its vast "sleeps five comfortaby" trunk flaunting its massive ass in the faces of the Tavares-tier Euros. Cars need to get bigger in every dimension. Especially in tire sidewall height for better traction and ultimate roadholding, which is why Formula One teams fought lower sidewalls for decades, until the FIA rammed it down their throats. Any of the big teams could have ordered up a set of low-sidewall-height tires hot and fresh from the tire manufacturers back before it was a Pirellii monopoly, but none of them did. NONE of them did. But, big, beautiful American cars need to make a massive resurgence. The 1972 300 had more storage space in the trunk than many minivans of today, and it was cooler by orders of magnitude. Don't like the fuel mileage? Simple solution. Turbodiesel options and list the vehicle as a truck. Oh, wait, the rabid septum-pierced EPA loonies have been brought to heel at long last, so people can get what they want from cars, not have a "rolling vagina" foisted on them by a hostile government.
