Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    Why? Well, probably because Dodge badly needs the money. The brand’s U.S. sales plummeted 29% in 2024

    This’ll help sales, I’m sure.

        The american dream right here.

        It’s why american cars suck. Nobody buys dodge overseas.

        You have to be stupid enough to buy something just to support your ruling class in order to buy american cars.

          I saw my first one the other day (outside of America).

          The guy clearly is an American living here. It’s hard to put into words just how out of place it all looked, it’s like you picked up a palm tree, cocunuts and all, and plopped it down in the middle of Antarctica.

        They’re solid vehicles. My 08 caliber died last year with nearly 300k miles. Their interiors are just so old looking. I had an 97 Contour that doesn’t look much different than their current interiors.

      Stellantis looking at all that blank ad space on your infotainment console: “It’s free real estate!”
